"Sophistication" December 6 - 31, 2008 After her successful show at Galleria Duemila in 2001 the German jeweler Ursula Woerner has created another exclusive collection called “SOPHISTICATION “ which will be on show in December 2008. This presentation is her third show in the Philippines. Ursula Woerner had her technical training at the renowned Goldschmiedeschule in Pforzheim in the south of Germany and continued her studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Friends know her for her jewelry objects inspired by organic structures, little treasures that seem to have secretly grown on a coral reef. For her new collection Ursula has explored a new field of creative experience. She combined organic structures with traditional motives from the European Alps and lock elements that convey a sense of mystery – and glamorous sophistication. Beneath this contrast you will discover a hidden harmony, a composition carefully balanced out by the artist. Her favorite material is silver, which she often combines with pearls, corals and stone beads. The particular surface of handmade silver is another quality of her work and - while the process of creation remains always visible - it evokes the pleasure and joy of wearing individual jewelry. Having restarted to create sculptures five years ago, one of them has recently been acquired by the city council of Amsterdam to adorn a room for wedding ceremonies. Good luck and happiness – who could ask for anything more?
