Alicia Penalba
Alicia Penalba was an Argentinian sculptor and jewelry designer who was born in 1913 in San Pedro, Buenos Aires Province. She initially studied drawing and painting, but later turned to sculpture, studying under French-Argentinian sculptor Antoine Pevsner.
In 1948, Penalba moved to Paris, where she established her career as a sculptor and began creating jewelry designs as well. Her jewelry pieces were characterized by their bold, abstract shapes and use of unconventional materials such as copper, bronze, and leather.
In the 1950s, Penalba gained international recognition for her sculptures and jewelry designs, and her work was exhibited in major art institutions and galleries around the world, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Throughout her career, Penalba continued to experiment with different materials and techniques in her jewelry designs, including using natural materials such as shells and stones, and incorporating movement and sound into her pieces.
Penalba passed away in 1982, but her legacy lives on through her stunning sculptures and innovative jewelry designs. Her work has inspired generations of artists and designers, and her impact on the world of art and design continues to be felt to this day.
