Berta Sumpsi is a local jewelry artist, moved by the symbolic value of jewels, their uses and the relations they establish with wearers. She carefully creates all her pieces with her hands. She considers the symbiosis between hand crafted work, contemporary thinking and design as essential. “Jewelry is a constant dialogue between the maker, the user and the observer”.
In 2016 she finally opened her own studio and showroom, located at the heart of Gràcia. Like an extension of her work, it's one of a kind place to experiment with ways of exhibiting contemporary jewelry.
Her creative vocabulary is expressed in minimal gestures and elements. Berta’s pieces are persistent exercises around a single starting shape, material or idea. By looking closely and obsessively, these ideas acquire depth and their multiple possibilities unfold. The foundation of her process is always the journey toward synthesis: to achieve meaning through simplicity in all her work.
