The Swati ring is a reference the Swazi people, a Bantu group found in Southern Africa, harbouring the tribal aesthetic of the Evocazione collection. Its curved edges and smooth surface gives give it a highly seductive energy. The repetition of the form created by the inner gold square interjecting the ebony arouses an appealing illusionistic effect, while the monotone combination of the two materials is both natural and striking.

His works are both bold and theatrical pieces, mixing raw and precious materials with unusual proportions. Treated as sculptures, inspired by female attitude, flair and femininity, and created spontaneously from artistic gouache sketches to sensual and powerful shapes. This collection evokes a journey.
