Flowers as a jewelry motif is nothing new, but some designers have a special way of adding a sense of modernity and youthfulness to their floral designs while also maintaining a timeless beauty.
“Flowers are kind of my signature,” affirms Mădălina Marinescu about her work. “I use them on almost every item I make, so I choose to experiment with the shape of the jewelry and the colors I use to always get something new.”
Love for femininity, beauty and tenderness can be found in every piece of jewelry Mădălina designs. We wanted to know what is the secret ingredient of her creations and the artist replied simply: “Passion! Everything I create comes from an inner place of peace and joy. I devote a lot of time to each piece of jewelry and do not make series products. Each petal and every leaf is modeled by hand from polymer clay without using molds or micro-cutters. Even the middle of the flowers is lovingly created in a preliminary stage.”
Looking back at the beginning of her creative journey, the artist recalls: “I would have liked to describe myself like this: I have been creative since I was born; I intuitively knew how to hold a needle and how to shape flowers. But the truth is different: for too long I believed that if there is no talent, the hands cannot be trained to work something that does not come naturally.”
Mădălina confesses that she has always appreciated and admired creative people, the ones who draw as if their soul holds the brush, who write texts so inspired that the emotion is palpable, who sew stories with a needle and thread, who take make-up to the level of art. And taking a closer look at their work, she realized how much effort is required to reach that level.
“I was lucky enough to have close friends who supported me continuously and with every attempt I received encouragement,” she unveils. “I bow before each of them and I am thankful from the bottom of my heart! If there weren’t so many extraordinary people who had kind words for me, I wouldn't have found happiness in a piece of clay.”
Mădălina is a lover of all things playful and fun, florals included. We can definitely admit that every pair of her earrings is one of a kind and if you choose to wear such a piece of jewelry you must be prepared for compliments, because it adds to your uniqueness!
