Detachment: order within chaos. Creative freedom.
Nuria Carulla devotes herself entirely to creation as if she were a bird that would freely fly over the immense geography after a long journey. Far from the noise and in the intimacy of self-knowledge is where the jeweler finds order and rhythm. Even in chaotic thoughts and emotions there seems to be some kind of structure.
In the present series the artist succeeds to consolidate a new dimension that allows her to unfold her wings in a generous and safe way so she can reach full maturity and creative freedom.
