A Barcelona-based artist, Maribel Luque trained in abstract painting, and this background is evident in her vibrant, colorful jewelry. Luque believes that abstraction allows for the activation of senses other than sight, transporting the viewer or wearer in unexpected ways. Whether making large-format paintings or wearable art, she starts without clear images in mind, allowing the paint to drive her process. For her jewelry, she uses acrylic and layers of resin to create pieces that are ultralight and hard to break. Each piece is handmade and unreproducible, a small dose of abstract art.
