ABOUT
Pınar Şahin is a designer with a Fine Arts Painting background.
She turned her attention to jewelry design by combining her experience in display and store design with traditional jewelry techniques and enamel decoration, which she encountered in 2018.
The textures in nature, the fluid forms of water and the traces of time are the most important sources of inspiration in the pieces he produces with a sculptural and pictorial approach.
Since 2020, she has been creating her designs in her workshop in Istanbul, using entirely handcrafted workmanship and traditional jewelry techniques.
MY STORY
My artistic journey began with painting. For many years, I produced sculptural forms and three-dimensional works. In 2018, I discovered traditional jewelry-making techniques that took my creativity in a completely new direction. Then, I discovered enamel decoration and re-established a strong connection with color.
The stones, seashells, eroded surfaces, and fluid forms of water I encounter in my travels have inspired my collections. In "Shorewash," I brought these traces to abstract forms; in "Ripples," I reflected the rhythm of water; and in "Colorful," I created an emotional narrative through color and texture.
Today, in my workshop, I continue to design each piece, carrying traces and emotions from life, like a small work of art, using traditional handmade techniques.
