Artwork Description

In these brooches Pavel Opocensky explores the properties of fabricated Corian, a dense, opaque material he extensively works into delicate, transparent jewelry. The artist’s minimalist approach to design reveals his fascination with “forms that reflect the inner harmony of an underlying geometry, both as they exist in space and as they relate to the human body.”
