Padma

Alida Manieri, nata in Umbria, vive e lavora a Milano. Da oltre trentacinque anni conduce una ricerca personale sui metalli e sulle pietre, sperimentando tecniche e accostamenti che hanno nel bronzo uno dei suoi materiali distintivi.

Alida Manieri was born in Umbria and lives and works in Milan. For over thirty-five years, she has developed a personal exploration of metals and stones, experimenting with techniques and combinations in which bronze has become one of her defining materials.

Nel suo lavoro, elementi naturali e materia preziosa convivono senza gerarchie. Superfici irregolari, pietre, tracce e variazioni cromatiche diventano parte di composizioni nelle quali il gioiello conserva una forte presenza scultorea.

In her work, natural elements and precious materials coexist without hierarchy. Irregular surfaces, stones, traces and chromatic variations become part of compositions in which jewellery retains a strong sculptural presence.

Il contrasto è al centro della sua ricerca: luce e ombra, opacità e riflesso, ordine e irregolarità. Da questa tensione prendono forma oggetti intensi e riconoscibili, nei quali il processo creativo rimane visibile.

Contrast lies at the heart of her practice: light and shadow, opacity and reflection, order and irregularity. From this tension emerge intense, distinctive objects in which the creative process remains visible.
