Statement
Since I was young, I have always loved art. However, as I am also interested in the combinations of geometric shapes, I have decided to study geometric compositions of artistic jewellery, using beads and Swarovski crystals
Artworks
Every star is formed from five elements, themselves composed of rhomboids
(While I discovered these for myself, similar stars have been shown by Jean Power).
The planet is a star icosahedron: it has 60 faces. The colors represent the sea and the sky (blue), the trees (green), volcanos (red), fields of wheat (yellow), and the earth (brown).
I love the geometry
Triangles, rectangles, pentagons…
But is it possible to use them to exalt the delicate poetry of the Swarovski crystals?
This is a tribute to Euclid, the father of geometry
