Lázaro Bonixe, educated at António Arroio Secondary School and mentored by artist Valentim Quaresma, is an emerging talent in Portuguese jewellery. With a self-taught and innovative approach, Bonixe merges geometric precision with organic fluidity, drawing inspiration from nature’s complex forms and fungi macrophotography, challenging the norms of his craft.

“Flowerbed” merges the intricate beauty of Valencia’s ornate doors with the organic elegance of a blooming garden. This silver creation symbolizes rich cultural heritage and natural charm, encapsulating both tradition and innovation in one piece.

Bonixe introduces a set consisting of a necklace and a bracelet, inspired by the serpent’s fluid and captivating form. These pieces celebrate the graceful movements and seductive beauty of this enigmatic creature, embodying empowerment, allure, and the eternal cycle of renewal.

Bonixe’s work resonates with the central theme of tradition and innovation, deeply linking jewellery art with the natural world. His pieces, rich in narrative and detail, encourage reflection on the intersection of culture, nature, and personal identity, thus reflecting the innovative and exploratory spirit of ‘Singulares’.
