Italian contemporary jewelry artist and designer
PROFILE
Artist Francesca Mazzotta, graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in visual arts in Lecce, Italy. She lives and works in Puglia, in southern Italy, her interest in art and design is mainly focused on the creation of jewels and contemporary objects, she experiments also other forms of art, such as photography, design, graphics and interior decoration. She has exhibited extensively in different events and fairs in Italy and Europe, winning a 3rd prize in the jewels and fashion category at the Florence Biennale in 2019. Her artwork is the outcome of the use of different kinds of materials that interact with each other, like cellulose fiber, metals and stones. She uses symbols to talk about the introspective world of women, the society of modern man, the poetic nature of places and times that are gone. In her constant research and in her artwork, she combines tradition and technology, using both artisanal processes and current means of production, such as 3D printing.

Natus Jewelry Collection
Natus Jewelry Collection 2019
"The Natus jewelry collection represents to me, man immersed in modern society. Man that is depicted by a thick vegetation. A vegetation where he finds himself immersed into, as in a mysterious jungle full of pitfalls. He is in fact measuring himself everyday with a harsh reality. His mechanism, is defense. A defense, which leads him not to see the hidden messages that life puts in front of him. He is blind. Thus, he acquires the appearance of a chameleon. By camouflaging himself, he adapts to the environment and defends himself against hostilities, while trying to eat the little fly: seen as an annoying insect that must be eliminated. The metaphor in life is clear and evident. The fly, actually buzzes around you only to be heard, it pokes you, it stares at you, it excites you, it persuades you. The fly is provoking a reaction and this leads us to reflect on all the things that are in fact causing damage to our daily existence, such as yielding to the pressures of society, or to indifference and ignorance. However, it reminds you that you reap what you sow; a clear reflection on actions, thoughts and words. At last new answers and a different awareness prevails, the dragonfly is seen as an evolution or metamorphosis. The symbolic change of position, now on the bracelet, now on the pendant, or its transformation into a brooch, is the clear expression of that thought. Its lesson in life, is for me to go beyond appearances, encouraging us to change. The introspection and the expansion of consciousness, is vital in order to find our own identity and in order to affirm our own personality."
