Sana López Abellán is an anthropologist and jewellery maker from La Bisbal, Spain.
“Jewellery is a feature which all societies have in common. Even though its expression may be quite different, adornment is used in all cultures.”
Playing with the limits of what is ´beautiful´ and what is ´waste´, Sana works with found materials, especially those from nature, and transforms them into ´gems´ giving them value through their use.
Combining her diverse backgrounds is a feature of Sana’s work; Spanish or Dutch, anthropologist or jeweller, historical or avant-garde, a work of the mind or of the hand? The end result is silver mixed with other materials - often wild, always wearable.
ArteSana does not only refer to her first name and her art, in Spanish 'artesana' means 'craftswoman'...
