concept
The most beautiful creatures in nature often are the most poisonous. A dangerous allure of good and evil, beauty and beast. Anabela has always been mesmerized by the jewels and gems of nature. From the sculptural forms of flora and fauna to the vivid array of intense colors of insects, shimmering and fluttering in unison. A compelling, inimitable beauty engrained in her mind. Through the exploration of natural and man-made materials, she created pieces that are seducing to the touch. Like the setting of precious stones, lustrous beetle shells and butterfly wings are intricately set in a combination of casting and etched picture frames.
