Maura Biamonti

With her origins in a small village in Northern Italy, Maura Biamonti passed her childhood in close contact with nature. Her life then took a very clear direction toward the arts: dance, theater, photography. At the end of the 1980’s she began her research and creation of jewelry. From 1992 to 2010 she created in her Italian workshop. In 2010 she moved her work to Antibes on the French Riviera and in 2011, she moved to nearby Biot, an artistic village, where she works today. Her experimentations in jewelry are founded in the natural textures, forms and colors of the metals she uses. Flora and architecture are the seeds of her inspiration, though her heart is still in Ventimiglia Alta, the old upper town, in front of Ligurian sea in Italy.

I feel the Earth as a living organism, where the mineral kingdom, seemingly lifeless, is deeply related with the plant and animal kingdoms.
