FOUND OBJETS: a collection of concept jewels by Paul Syjuco
Confident. Self-assured. Gutsy. This is how sought-after jeweler designer, Paul Syjuco, likes to describe the kind of women his creations were intended for.
“They have their own sense of style and don’t subscribe to trends”, the designer declares, “Exuding self-confidence, they are aware of their own strengths and what they can do”.
As homage to these women, through a unique exhibition rarely seen in art galleries, OWG will have on view Paul Syjuco’s latest concept jewelry collection—stand-out pieces that elevate jewelry from simple adornments to higher forms of art.
Here, Syjuco touches the earth—imbibing its energy—as he turns to objects endemic to nature for inspiration.
“Basically, I was taken by things we literally see on the ground such as rocks, pebbles, sand, shells…objects we normally tend to overlook in our everyday lives.”
With an imaginative use of metal, (sterling silver, vermeil or gold in varying hues) radiantly colored gems, (both faceted and beads) infused with skilled craftsmanship that adheres to exacting attention to detail, (the artisans in his family’s workshop have been doing it for years) the nuances of the earth and the richness of its textures are well evident in his necklaces and rings.
“A reverse engineering of sorts takes place to make rigid materials as metal take on organic shapes”, he adds.
Each one luxuriant and sensuous, Paul Syjuco’s works of art are without doubt true masterworks to behold: complimenting, transforming, the women who wear them. When the pieces touch the skin, one can hear or feel the drumbeats of the earth. When the light touches the gems, the colors begin to glow.
FOUND OBJETS will be on view from August 19 to August 31, 2006.
One Workshop Gallery is located at Ground Floor 2241 La Fuerza Plaza II, Don Chino Roces Avenue corner Sabio St., Makati City. (Walking distance from Magallanes MRT and Mazda Showroom) Gallery hours are from 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday. For more information, call 8105094, fax 8192074, email owgallery@yahoo.com or visit www.owgallery.com
Paul Syjuco has a graduate gemologist diploma from G.I.A. Thailand.
