Enric Majoral captures an
essence of the
Mediterranean
in his collections of 18K gold and silver jewelry. They are
not fashion, though they reference or forecast fashion trends, but
essential designs distilled through Majoral's thirty-year career as
a studio goldsmith and designer. Many of the pieces, like
sketches, capture the purity of formal line made three-dimensional
at the bench by the goldsmith. He describes his style today as
"a primitivism that is conceptual at root," evidenced by
the paring away of decoration and the use of gems that are cut in
uncompromisingly modern form. Majoral's painted and textured 'Obras
Personales' - Personal Works - are the one-of-a-kind sculptured
jewels that express the artist's current investigations in texture
and color.
