1. Author’s Anodizing Technique Adapted for Artistic Purposes
The color in these pieces is not achieved with paint, but through a special technique — anodizing the metal surface using electric current.
At different voltages, the surface takes on different shades: for example, blue appears at 20–25 volts, while green (the most difficult to achieve) requires nearly 90 volts.
Although this method is known in technical fields, the artist spent years experimenting to adapt it for artistic use — creating a personal approach that allows precise coloring of very small areas in multiple tones.
2. Creating Sculptural Jewelry
- In complex, one-of-a-kind pieces, the artist applies methods similar to those used by traditional gemstone carvers — where a volume is carved from a single solid block. In this case, the material is titanium.
Some pieces required several uninterrupted months of precise, labor-intensive handwork.
- Each detail is refined manually, using techniques such as chasing and engraving, performed only under a microscope and high magnification.
3. A Distinct Approach to Designer Jewelry
- Each piece begins with careful work on composition and form — both on paper and in three-dimensional space.
A drawing alone is often not enough to fully understand the shape. To develop the design volumetrically, a preliminary model is often hand-carved in wax.
- Modern technologies such as 3D scanning and laser sintering of titanium powder are also used in the creation process.
