Marrying static art and fluid art

Roberto is unstoppable, here is the next example: Another collaboration was back in 1998 with Grupo Corpo, a flamboyant modern Brazilian dance troup. Journeying into the universe of modern dance, our jewellery design team studied all aspects of their renowned productions, from the conceptualization of each ballets theme and its choreography to costume and set design. This was something entirely new to our team, a very exciting process. The resulting group of avant-garde jewels transcends the concept of jewellery as objects, and creates an ensemble of unique artistic interpretation. Each piece in this collection expresses fluidity of movement, and has its origins in a complex world where imbalance can be more important than planned, rehearsed steps. Roberto sits back and clearly remembers some of the events during the creation of this collection: Expressing the energy of dance in a solid form required a new approach to tri-dimensionality and presented a unique dilemma when working with metal. We had so much material to work from, to work withtextures, depth and movement that are dynamic, ever-flowing but needed to be captured. He adds: This project required a level of intuition, of feeling and improvisation we had not experienced before. Enduringly innovative Roberto continues to innovate. With his collections, his target groups and his technology. He is constantly on the look out for ways to change the industry, including new gemstone cutting and polishing techniques. Time and time again, youll find his rethinking established processes and relearning centuries-old techniques from different points of view. With his courage, innovative strength and creativity, Roberto Stern has turned the world of jewellery upside down. We cant wait to see what he comes up with next. 2011 CoolBrands
