About Aline

Aline Berdichevky, portrait

I am a jeweller born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico, but formed professionally in Barcelona, Spain.

Being a migrant as well as a descendant of several generations of migrants, my work focuses on the meaning of identity in our ever-moving and ever-changing world.

Through artistic jewellery I reflect upon traditions, which can and cannot be broken. I also try to decipher the forms that accompany us along our permanent transcience — what can be rescued and reconstructed after mixed feelings have been drawn and blurred between places.

At the present moment, I am trying to capture and set the boundaries of the void that remains after a chaotic displacement has taken place.

I am also part of a collective of contemporary art jewellers based in Barcelona but spread all around the globe.

If you want to learn more about the Bórax08001 collective, please visit www.borax08001.com.

Oh, and in case you are looking for something more "traditional" and "down-to-earth," but made with the exact same passion for detail and craftsmanship, you might want to take a look at my work with Limonella.
