Constellations, molecules, elderflowers, fireworks… Lidia Marti takes inspiration from a myriad of sources to give life to small sculptures to be worn, characterised by moving and three-dimensional components.
Lidia Marti discovered ceramic on a school trip as a young girl, when for the first time she saw the clay slip in and out of the hands of the potter and become an object made of geometrical shapes. Today, after many years of study, she continues to cultivate this longstanding love, making contemporary sculptures and fashion jewellery inspired by the world of nature.
Lidia’s ceramic stems from her research on shapes that are on the move and unstable, observed from different viewpoints. The pieces she makes are the result of a painstaking study striving to achieve dynamism, experimenting with the plastic properties of the materials used: bulges, sudden tensions and balances express not only precariousness, formal tension and the rupture of all symmetry, but also the breadth of the potential enclosed in the creative techniques used.
In her recent research, the artist’s central themes are sculptures that can be worn, a collection of jewels inspired by the structure of the molecules and of the constellations in the sky.
