bio:
Simplification. Abstraction. Articulation. Variation.
Ana Pina combines the background in architecture with traditional jewelry techniques and contemporary concepts of design in the creation of jewels with a strong abstract and geometric inspiration. Unique pieces or limited collections combine elements of a common vocabulary in a game of geometric relations and asymmetries, as if they were letters building words inserted in a bigger text.
Former architect, now jeweler and gallerist, dividing her work between her personal brand, launched in 2012, and Tincal lab, a contemporary jewelry work+shop space founded in 2015, in the city of Porto, Portugal.
