Daniela Villegas, travel to Mexico with the Chromatic Paradise collection ♦ ︎
That Daniela Villegas is attracted by the colors of her country of origin, Mexico, is known. Her jewels are always based on contrasts of shapes and colors strong, cheerful, uncompromising. Add to this a fantasy that gallops like a wild horse across the plains of Texas. Combine these two aspects and you will have Chromatic Paradise, a collection that appeals to the wild nature of those lands, but also to the traditions born beyond the Rio Bravo. Daniela Villegas, who works and lives in Los Angeles, not only does not forget those harsh and enthralling atmospheres, but continues to observe them under a microscope. Her jewels are fanciful reconstructions or interpretations. This is also the case for the Chromatic Paradise collection, where for once the insects (her main source of inspiration) become a subject that is always present, but secondary. Instead, snakes and coyotes emerge with the difficult art of stone carving, with the classic mix of precious stones, semi-precious stones and natural elements. In this case, an even more effective formula. Giulia Netrese
