The serenity of Lucas Restrepo designs lies in the amazing force with which flood the space. In its eventful presence, jewels by Restrepo go through the line of mundane and transported to a different, imaginary, metaphorical and rich in substance place.

The line between the disciplines of sculpture and jewelry is almost imperceptible when we see the pieces of Lucas Restrepo. The jewels are small sculptures of the artist with a wealth of creative, specialized manufacturing and a unique intimate style.

We can say that his passion for art was born in the family. The designer tells us that since he remembers, his mother has always been painting while his grandmother was engaged in the filigree.

To this traditional artistic side must be added the family members dedicated to the manufacturing technique: a dentist grandfather, a engraver father, and his brother as industrial designer, subject also studied by Restrepo.

Consequently, we can not deny that the family amalgam with great creative inspiration has greatly influenced the artistic spirit of the designer, forcing him to not neglect the technical part of the manufacture of his pieces.

Although he has participated in the construction of several sculptures in the city and exhibitions dedicated to this discipline of art, jewelry is where we find a more intimate Lucas Restrepo.

Nature and the vision of pre-Hispanic inhabitants of his country (Colombia) are the two greatest inspirations, always with a minimalism style and getting a very authentic expression in each of his jewels.

A Lucas Restrepo likes to work with lost wax and resin, continually experimenting to discover new ways of texturing metal. The vitreous enamel is another ornamental techniques that he loves, perhaps for the chromatic versatility that it offers, because the artist is a researcher of the jewelry, which is evident if you study his work.

The peculiar interpretation of Lucas Restrepo about the world around him makes him a strong exponent of the international jewelry. His future evolution in this art will be fluid, we are sure.
