A pair of 18K gold and pigments earrings, by Giampaolo Babetto Giampaolo Babetto by Naïla de Monbrison Giampaolo Babetto is a man of culture endowed with insatiable curiosity and great artistic sensitivity. For him, manual skill has no value unless attached to an idea; creation cannot exist without the thought that gives it meaning. With his predilection for geometric shapes and their simplicity, he wishes to convey his creativity with an absolute minimalism free of unnecessary decoration. Babetto's jewelry is akin to constructivism in art. The tension created by his austere yet rigorous forms is heightened by the use of sumptuous gold, which his technique makes particularly luminous - white or yellow gold - for brooches, rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces. He works this gold like a painter, often adding color pigments, methacrylate or glass. With exhibitions all over the world, in museums and foundations, Giampaolo Babetto is considered one of the most important contemporary jewelry artists. Giampaolo Babetto has been exhibited many times at Galerie Naîla de Monbrison, including - Monographic exhibition in 2016 - Thematic exhibition "Architectures" in 2020 - Le Fil d'Ariane" thematic exhibition in 2023 Giampaolo Babetto by Naïla de Monbrison Giampaolo Babetto is a cultured man endowed with insatiable curiosity and a deep artistic sensitivity.
