Ana Ferrari to exhibit her brand ANK Jewellery at The Museum of Arts and Design in New York
Art has got an in-depth historical significance in the field of design. Especially, the artwork and creations in jewellery design are rooted in history. Representing physical and spiritual experiences through art, Ana Ferrari has earned a reputation for being one of the finest sculptors and jewellery designers. The artist and designer is the creative director at ANK Jewellery, an artistic space representing sculptural jewellery.
Ana’s passion for becoming an artist goes back to her graduation days when she was pursuing Business Administration and Fashion Designing. However, she had a creative flair for designing jewellery pieces having an ancestral legacy as she understands beauty in symbology rather than only in form. Leading by her enormous curiosity and profound questions about humanity, Ana Ferrari has explored five continents to find the perfect gems, metals, stories and cultures.
While her designs and sculptures depict spiritual growth, she studied the crystalline systems of different gems in Brazil, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal. Having visited the biggest fairs in Hong Kong and Tucson, she has monitored the extraction of gold in Oman, witnessed the mining of tanzanite in Africa and perfected her artistic skills in Italy, Germany, Austria and England among others.
With the global exposure Ana Ferrari holds with her work, she will represent ANK Jewellery at The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York. The exhibition will bring acclaimed artists from across the globe under one roof.
“Fine art jewellery is at the very heart of MAD’s history, permanent collection, and future,” said Tim Rodgers, MAD’s Director. “Aligning our RE:FINE store event with our exhibition, Jewelry Stories, helps our supporters recognize this fact and encourages them to curate their own jewellery collection made by some of the most acclaimed artists working today.”
In addition, The Museum of Arts and Design is by far one of the most desirable shopping destinations in New York.
“It’s a chance for the MAD community to interact with and invest in fine jewellery artists who are redefining the modern heirloom,” said Sathya Balakumar, the Director of Merchandising.
Founded in 1956 by Aileen Osborn Webb, MAD celebrates the creativity of contemporary jewellery design, and the exhibitions promote rich cultures and traditions.
Speaking about exhibiting ANK Jewellery on an international scale, Ferrari said, “MAD curatorial and heritage interested for the most relevant jewellery in history is remarkable and I feel honoured to showcase my artwork there.” A majority of jewellery designs at ANK Jewellery celebrate the rich diversity of cultures in the world.
Earlier this year, Ana Ferrari had an opportunity to represent Brazil globally. The prolific artist exhibited her sculpture called ‘Wind’ at the 59th Venice Art Biennale which began on April 23, 2022. The sculpture explains the meaning of wind in the creative context and was developed during her artistic residency at the Azulik City of Arts – Uhmay, Mexico.
