GUARD[ARTE]
Guard[arte] begins with a simple gesture: a child’s drawing.
Drawn with intention rather than technique, children’s drawings have a unique honesty. A house may float above the ground, a portrait may have uneven arms, a heart may sit in the middle of the page simply because that is where it belongs.
Their value does not lie in perfection, but in the meaning they carry.
Guard[arte] was created to preserve these gestures and give them permanence. Starting from a drawing shared by you, the original artwork is carefully prepared and transformed into two complementary pieces: a minimalist print and an engraved medal.
DIE SAMMLUNG
Guard[arte] is a collaboration between Raquel Poço Jewellery and RIMA lab, bringing together two ways of preserving a gesture.
At its core is the transformation of a drawing into a piece of jewellery. Raquel Poço Jewellery engraves the original gesture into a medal, allowing it to be worn and kept close to the body.
Alongside this, RIMA lab works the drawing so it can exist as a print, preserving the richness and character of the original illustration.
