Irene Sema is known for her conceptual approach in formulating ideas from Eastern and Western philosophy into geometric shapes enriched with symbolism and placed into a life context in her photo stories.

Irene began creating jewellery in collaboration with masters from a local fine jewellery workshop founded in 1988; with particular interest in new approaches and technologies in jewellery making.
Irene creates kinetic and optical jewellery pieces by combining titanium and gold, glass and precious stones. Her pieces interact with body and light, balancing the mind and seeking to touch the soul.

Jewellery is a phenomenon going through the whole history of mankind, going a long way into the past reflecting the spirit of cultures and epochs. The history of jewellery begins in ancient times when it encompassed concepts of macro - and microcosmos. It was not only an accessory but had a sophisticated meaning.

Today, under the influence of modern art, a piece of jewellery often becomes an art object. There are intellectual games and provocation in jewellery avant-garde.

In this complicated scene Sema creates from a concept. She finds that her interaction with the world of jewellery offers new metaphors to think about reality, human being, society, life strategies and internal growth.
