Mai Solorzano

My commitment with contemporary jewelry is to observe the world, to find small details and outline them, reflecting and approaching ideas through the pieces. I enjoy working with different materials, transforming them until the piece is truly finished and acquires meaning and emotional value. I think a piece of jewelry should be a friendly object, which is our accomplice, in which we express something and sometimes we get questioned by his mere presence.

I'm Maria Solorzano, I was born in Mexico City and have lived in Buenos Aires for eight years. Also, I lived in Paris and Valencia. I´m an industrial designer, studied at the UNAM in Mexico City, contemporary jewelry specialist, attended the workshop of Maria Medici and "the ship” with Jorge Castañon. Over 6 years ago, I dedicated myself to jewelry, this is what I love the most! It allows me to work with any material, design are based on concepts and reflections. I think a piece of jewelry should be a friend, our accomplice. We express or question by their mere presence. I sell and exhibit my work in design shops, art galleries, museums and online on Etsy. In my workshop I teach creativity and jewelry, and furthermore realize pieces by request. All my work is made with love, devotion, introspection and is the expression of a certain thought or feeling. I do it from my heart to my clients. I am inspired by life itself, by a sunset, an autumn walk, reflection of beauty, or society, the pieces can be a poem or a call of attention. When working my main professional values are: value of the concept and social responsibility. I enjoy team working considering others, in an environment full of proposals without neglecting the products quality. All my work is the result of reflections, games and sensations.
