The Gems series features five unique sculptures (1/1 editions), each conceived as a singular jewel, where color, texture, and relief are in constant dialogue. The female figures, modeled as three-dimensional busts and embedded in frames filled with graphic signs, evoke both the sacred and the urban, the classical and the contemporary.

Each piece is marked by a distinct color palette — explosions of neon, vibrant gradients, and metallic tones — transforming each sculpture into its own universe. However, the true richness of this series lies in its invisible dimension: under ultraviolet light, hidden layers emerge, revealing patterns and secret inscriptions that expand the aesthetic experience beyond what the eye can normally perceive.

Just like gemstones shaped by time and light, the Gems reveal themselves to be multifaceted and inexhaustible. The viewer is invited not only to observe but to actively explore—discovering what remains hidden and questioning the value of the visible and the invisible, the ephemeral and the eternal.
