SORELINA: Handcrafted Luxury with a Wild Spirit
Jewels
"Nature is never delicate. It is bold, unpredictable, and unapologetically opulent. That is the energy we channel into every piece."
Defiance is elemental. A reaction between heat and pressure which creates something new and beautiful. Marrying lava and other natural elements with precious and semi-precious stones — diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and beyond — Sorelina necklaces and bracelets uncover a never-ending truth about nature: that it is rebellious, luxurious and amplified. Each piece is uniquely designed and handmade in Los Angeles by artist Priscilla Franco Asturias and her sister Andrea. Founded in 2011 for private clients and exclusive boutiques around the world. sorelinajewels.com
Sorelina's signature collection embodies the studio's core ethos: the marriage of raw natural materials with the most precious stones.

Greatest inspirations or influences?
Life! Nature! Our whole existence inspires me. Every experience, every encounter, every moment leaves impressions that shape my creative process. Different aspects of my work are influenced by Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, Jackson Pollock, but nature, mood and senses, music and harmony are some immediate factors that significantly influence how I develop my relation with the piece being created.
"For me, painting is an inner state of mind where I am actually free of all thought and just let my energy be expressed onto the canvas. I want to give viewers something pure and deeper to their sight."

Music you listen to while working?
I like a broad variety of music, though while painting I like to listen to new age or "chill-out" music such as Schiller, Sam Popat, Oliver Shanti. Music that lets me emerge into the realm of my imagination.
Favorite art galleries?
There are so many galleries worldwide, it is too hard to choose. But at the moment living in LA I like Honor Fraser and David Kordansky.
