Imperfection in the hands of Julieta Álvarez
Julieta's hands transform clay into imperfect jewellery. Her ability to not just see it as an accessory, allows her to connect with the piece in a passionate way, just as she is in life.
The obsession with perfection is not an option for this designer and potter from Madrid. From her home workshop in the centre of Madrid, Julieta creates ceramic pieces that range from jewellery to sculpture; these pieces being so authentic and unique that they have brought her national and international recognition. Julieta Álvarez's creations can be found in fashion shows, museums or in major fashion epicentres such as London, Paris, Vienna or Tokyo.
Her pieces have silence and abstraction as a starting point. A passionate encounter with clay, a passion she demonstrates in her own life, which has led her to set aside the rational aspect of creating art and has made her work in a more instinctive fashion, using form and colour simultaneously, and letting herself be inspired by nature, art and the internet.
People who make a connection with the brand reject the factory-style way of making things, and search for the poetry of the imperfect and irregular, of what's straight-forward, the art of eliminating whatever isn't strictly necessary.
