Michele Milano
I am in LOVE with the infinite colors, shapes and textures that
gloriously surround us in Nature! The height, depth and spectrum of all
this makes me break out into song!
“Music {ART} expresses that which cannot be put into words and that
which cannot remain silent.” Victor Hugo
My belief is that Art is otherworldly. It is something remarkable, which
stands apart from our ordinary, daily routine. Call it a mirage, a
dream, fantasy or a vision. This is the precipice from which I seem to
work. I surround myself in “audio art” as a musician in a forested
studio setting, while striving to create Beautiful, tangible Art as a
Jewelry Artist.
My work features Organic Materials, as I love the natural integrity of
metals, glass, and crystals; precious and semi-precious stones. My goal
is to showcase these natural elements in a design, which best shows
off their innate characteristics: all the while
remaining-hopefully--“outside the box”.
I am a classically trained Metalsmith-Jewelry Artist and Musician who
has lived and trained on both US coasts as well as in Germany and
France. My belief is that an artist is ever striving for perhaps the
unattainable perfection of the craft—therefore, we continually seek to
improve our skills.
My favorite materials are Sterling and Fine Silver, Bronze, Brass ,
Copper and Precious Metal Clay, Precious and Semi-precious stones:
Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst,White Topaz and Quartz Crystal.
