How Did Pop Slowly Find Its Way Into My Work?

In its own way, it followed the spirit of the Pop Art movement from the sixties, which I have always loved. Not only because of its boldness, but because nothing ever seemed restrained inside it.

Strong contrasts, exaggerated compositions, unexpected pairings, everything felt allowed to exist at once. I have always been naturally drawn toward that kind of visual freedom. The relationship I have with tones goes far beyond the necklaces I create.
I notice them everywhere instinctively — in fashion, fabrics, interiors, flowers, food, old magazines, even small details most people overlook.

What slowly stayed with me from Pop was also the reminder that black and white carry as much presence as vivid hues do. They interrupt, sharpen, soften, and completely redirect the way surrounding shades behave beside them. That contrast introduced another layer into my handcrafted jewelry: visual texture. Even inside highly saturated compositions, there could still be rhythm, pauses, movement, and breathing space.

Over time, that approach quietly became part of the way I build wearable art and statement necklaces.
