Paula Castro - Portugal
Paula Castro
Designer biography:
Porto is my city: where I was born and where I like to live. Mountains are something from my deep soul and where I like to feel myself. I worked with and to People in some companies for twenty-seven years after studying psychology. Art, aesthetic, sensitivity to what is around me, always were present feeding my spirit. I studied jewellery for two years (2012/13) and a passion was born. Since then, I have been attending workshops and courses. Some of them, with Lucy Saarnel, Benedick Fisher, Jorge Manila, Eija Mustonen, David Clarke, Manuel Vilhena and Adi Toch. My work is organic, simple, emotional, and irregular. I have been developing projects related to freedom, identity, lightness, and resilience.
Collection concept:
Nature re-birth and re-generate every year. Despite its fragility and sometimes ephemerality, its strength and resilience are amazing. The power and the energy that this re-generation transmits to humans, can be unbelievable! How is it possible that some humans prefer to destroy Nature to have money and power quickly!?
