Alberto Davila is the winner of the Amber Award in the International Amber Jewellery Design Competition Amberif Design Award 2022. The sponsor of this award \u2013 in the form of 1 kg of Baltic amber \u2013 is the International Amber Association, which also offers the opportunity to organise a solo exhibition in its MSB Gallery.<\/p>\n
The artist, who participated in the Amberif Design Award competition as early as 2019, winning the Grand Prix for a piece on the theme of \u201eKairos,\u201d created the \u201eSwallows and Meteorites\u201d collection.<\/p>\n
\nA collection exploring various events perceived as cyclical or constant in my life, which at some point came to an end. I contrast the swallow as a symbol of cycles \u2013 returns and belonging with the violent figure of a meteorite as a sudden and unexpected event that changes everything. My intention is to show how endings become beginnings and how change is inevitable \u2013 says the artist.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The exhibition will feature the \u201eStill Here\u201d bracelet, which received the Amber Prize at the Amberif Design Award 2022 competition, on loan from the Amber Museum in Jaros\u0142awiec. The exhibition will be complemented by works by Alberto Davila, presented last year at the \u201eIntegrations\u201d exhibition held as part of the SILVER Festival in Legnica. For this exhibition, black and white photographs showcasing fashion and amber jewellery as seen through the artist's eyes \u2013 as part of the Fashion Symphony project \u2013 were created in the studio of Kinga Ge\u0142don-Czech (Keenys Design).<\/p>\n
