FROM SCENOGRAPHY TO JEWELRY: AN INTERVIEW WITH LAURA VOLPI

A CREATIVE SOUL OPENING UP ABOUT BEING AN ARTISAN AND AN ARTIST

Laura Volpi's journey from the scenographic stages of Milan's Accademia di Brera to the intimate scale of art jewelry is a story of beauty and transformation.

Born in Milan in 1969, Laura's early career in set design laid a foundation for her exploration of space and form, but it was under the tutelage of Arnaldo Pomodoro and Davide De Paoli at the Tam Center (Centro TAM: Trattamento Artistico dei Metalli) where her fascination with the sculptural potential of metal began to take wearable shape.

We invite you to read the full interview with Laura Volpi, a philosophical artist, immensely skilled and creative artisan (as Laura speaks about herself) and an amazingly interesting person.

GREGORY LARIN: TALENTED BY NATURE, POWERED BY TABOO

JEWELRY FOR UNORTHODOX THINKERS WITH A SPECIAL SENSE OF TASTE AND AN UNRESTRAINED HEART

For the artist, creativity comes in waves: when he is happy or unhappy, going through climax or drama, navigating his ups or downs. But whatever he does, whatever he creates, it must be needed by someone, sold, used and worn. If people do not purchase it, if it is not needed by anyone, this kind of creation is unacceptable and pointless, he says.

In his vision of life and the world, Gregory is a total punk. Very lively, enjoying life, energetic and talkative, after relocating to Berlin, he talks about trying out DJing, apart from his staple jewelry and sculpture. Formerly a metalhead, he now prefers music with a peculiar, kind of distorted, "broken" rhythm, allowing it to accompany him wherever he is creating, going through the whirlpool of emotions - to finally overcome, process, reflect and produce something extremely conceptual.

PIECES OF PUZZLE COME TOGETHER IN INCREDIBLE MICROMOSAIC: MEET LE SIBILLE

THE THREE GUARDIANS OF ANCIENT ARTISTRY TRANSPORT THE WEARER TO BYGONE EPOCHS THROUGH ENCHANTING ADORNMENTS

In ancient Greece, the Sibyls  or 'le Sibille' in Italian  were shrouded figures who whispered the will of the gods from hallowed sanctuaries. These veiled prophetesses, their words enigmatic and intoxicating, spun sacred stories from the threads of destiny.

Today, their voices echo through the labyrinth of time, the cryptic enchantments of the past winding through the tapestry of history.

A modern homage to this mystique emerges in Rome, where three master craftswomen have, since 1990, breathed life into the jewelry brand Le Sibille. Guardians of the ancient Small Roman Mosaic technique, and specialists in the venerable craft of goldsmithing, Le Sibille’s founders have forged an alchemical bond between antiquity and modern artisanship.
