Ana Hagopian is a Barcelona-based artist who makes exquisite vibrant jewellery. Her work oscillates between two constant factors: the allusion to the natural world where she finds organic shape and limitless colour; and the materials which she uses - papers and different types of textiles like cotton and felt which are recycled and can in turn be recycled.
Ana says, "Since I was a little kid I liked to cut all types of materials with my favourite red scissors, and to play in the forest taking home all kind of leaves, seeds and stones as treasures. I'm still fascinated how nature makes incredible shapes and colours that people can never create as perfectly. I believe we should never stop playing and that's what I keep doing in life."
Ana's jewellery is incredibly lightweight yet sits beautifully; contains no metal so is ideal for people with metal allergies; and is robust despite looking fragile.
