“The rich diversity of life in my country, Brazil, has always been my greatest source of inspiration. I am fascinated by the many colors, shapes and materials that nature gives us. My work is based on this diversity and versatility, combining different metals and gemstones with varied types of natural products like straw, feathers, leaves, seeds and wood.” - Sandra Frias
