ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Jewellery
• Photography

My name is Gonzalo Marinone. I am a self-taught jeweler maker and photographer, continually inspired by nature and the lifestyle of travel. Over the past 13 years of traveling, I've found myself unable to carry memories others than little materials and photographs; Through the creation of art with these materials, I've discovered my way of preserving these memories, akin to little time capsules wherever I go.
My journey into photography began long before my exploration of jewelry making. However, it wasn't until a few years ago that I began to truly pay attention to my urge to capture the essence of my surroundings and the natural world that I love and fell so inspired for. My jewelry pieces are crafted from a diverse array of materials and textures, respectfully collected during my travels. These include woods, shells, seeds, stones, silver, and an assortment of natural textures."

Gonzalo Marinen is a self-taught jeweler, craftsman, and photographer whose artistic journey is deeply rooted in a profound connection to nature and a passion for travel. Over the past decade, his work has evolved into a captivating exploration of memory and beauty, with each piece serving as a tangible tribute to the experiences and landscapes that have shaped his artistic vision.

Uploading your images

The process has changed a little this year;

Step 1 – Add 1 image that best represents your work for the printed Event Guide

Step 2 – Add an additional 9 artwork images and studio portraits for our marketing team

Step 3 – Add up to 10 images for your website listing – they can be the same or different to the images above

Step 4 – Add one main image for your website listing.

Each image must be 300dpi, between 2.5MB and 5MB, and formatted as a jpeg file.

Re-name all files to include your name, artwork title, year created, medium and size before uploading e.g., Jane Doe_Wild Seascapes_2018_Oil on canvas_10x10cm.

Please ensure the filenames contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens. Special characters such as punctuation will cause the upload to fail.

Please add a photographer credit to the file name if required by the photographer.

(Note: we love to use smiling, welcoming studio portraits to promote MRROS on social media)

Studio Details

The studio its at home, at the moment, where I feel free to express myself as I want whit little distractions, a bit chaotic between materials on the workbench but I find my own "chaos-order" a need, almos always whit music and sometimes taking space between jewellery making and moving to photography alternative printings methods to find more creative moments and feed both passions in the right way and balance. but sometimes this creative space fit all in one medium box and I take it whit me for a travel to create elsewhere, like at the beach or to the forest.

I will be creating new crafts and also im working on a photography project whit a hand crafted camera obscura made out of recycled materials, if the visitors are keens I could make them part of this project taking some portraits of them whit this camera and chating about this process and having tea we might be able to know each other a bit and connect.
