La bellezza dell’opale dipende dal fatto che l’acqua mutevole si trova imprigionata all’interno del suo reticolo cristallino, spezzando e rifrangendo la luce in mille lievi arcobaleni.
Questa pietra spinge l’animo a dare valore e considerazione agli aspetti emotivi della vita, apre una porta d’accesso verso l’inconscio ispirando nel contempo un senso di fiducia nel proprio futuro, rende il lato razionale e logico della nostra mente in equilibrio con la parte più fantasiosa e creativa.

La tendenza arcobaleno investe sia la moda che l’arte e il design, grazie anche allo sviluppo di materiali sempre più prestazionali: finte pelli metallizzate e perlate, plastiche e poliuretani in fogli ultrasottili, tessuti sintetici con effetti olografici.

Sono queste caratteristiche sia estetiche che psicologiche che mi hanno affascinato e hanno reso l’opale come una “porta di accesso” all’immaginario di ricerca interiore che è alla base della mia recente collezione “Wounds“, di cui parlo in maniera più approfondita nel mio portfolio.

The beauty of opal depends on whether the water is imprisoned within its crystal lattice, breaking and refracting light in a thousand of subtle rainbows.

colors based on white with rainbow iridescence
Opal is just a stone, an agglomeration more or less accurate than crystalline substances. Yet in its shimmering iridescence has in itself something magical and mysterious dreamily.
The man, who wants to give meaning to each particle of creation, recognizes to OPAL virtues and amazing features.
Pushes the mind to value and consider the emotional aspects of life, opens a gateway to the unconscious while inspiring a sense of confidence in our own future, it makes the logical and rational side of our mind in balance with the more imaginative and creative.
The rainbow trend the fashion that involves both art and design, thanks to the development of ever more performance materials: faux metallic and pearlescent leathers, plastics and polyurethanes in ultra-thin sheets, synthetic fabrics with holographic effects.
Are these aesthetic and psychological characteristics that fascinated me, making the opal as a “gateway“ to the imaginary of soul searching, that is the base of my recent collection “Wounds“, which I describe in more detail in my portfolio.
