Art Jewellery Spotlight: Jorge Manilla


Today I would like to do a spotlight on one of my favorite art jewelers, Jorge Manilla.

Jorge is originally from Mexico, and currently lives and works in Belgium. His work is large in scale, and somewhat unsettling in form. Making use of wood, leather, bone, and metal, Jorge creates work which explores the finality of human life and the metamorphosis each of us go through due to emotional and personal processes.

I was able to see his work in personal at the Munich Jewellery Week 2019 this March. The exhibition is titled Consolidations and featured both Jorge, and Corrina Goutos. Below are some images from that exhibition.
