Roberta Consalvo Sances is an Italian jewellery maker based in Florence. She graduated in Oriental Languages in 1991. After a career in the HR field, Roberta’s path changed dramatically when she discovered her passion for contemporary jewellery in 2015. She obtained a BFA in 2017 and an MFA in Contemporary Jewellery and Body Ornament from Alchimia Jewellery School in Florence, Italy, in 2019.

In her work, she draws inspiration from her surroundings and from things that emotionally strike her. Experimentation and exploration of new materials and techniques are integral and fundamental parts of her practice, which usually begins with conceptual research. She conceives jewellery not only as a decorative element, but also as something that engages the wearer, allowing them to become part of the idea behind the object and its story.

Anhelitus

Disruptive and irrepressible, a movement of rebellion arises when our freedom is threatened or questioned. Constraint can unleash a powerful energy, and its critical point generates a longing for freedom that is difficult to contain.

Capturing this moment of tension is the central theme of this body of work, inspired and developed during the lockdown of the pandemic, when our physical and mental freedom was so greatly compressed by the imposed restrictions.
