Patina Gallery’s Allison Buchsbaum is thrilled to announce our newest curation with artist Roc Majoral from the Majoral Atelier.

Founded in the 1970s on the island of Formentera by artist Enric Majoral, the Majoral Atelier was born from a life experience developed in his ancestral Mediterranean culture, rich in his interpretations of the island’s flowers and plants and the endless sea that surrounded him.

Joining Majoral in 2005, Roc Majoral, son of Enric, has continued the artistic legacy as a metalsmith with his fresh and dynamic creations, always maintaining a connecting thread with the work of his father through the influence of the light and color, cultural diversity and natural richness of the Mediterranean world.

Fluid & Timeless.

Roc’s collections reflect his passion for design, interpreted through his own creative language.

He creates an array of works that can be identified for their profound sense of harmony, including those unfolding a formal language conceived from his experiences of nature and landscape as well as the ones inspired by urban culture and architecture. The results are as pure and majestic as nature itself.

Roc seeks out the limits of the material, creating light and delicate constructions. He combines traditional construction techniques with the inclusion of new technologies.

Across the collection, textured oxidized silver and high karat gold possess a vivacious energy, imbued with innovation and creativity. Without ever losing the elegance of refined and timeless taste, the artist composes work that are timeless and of the Minoan traditions that make us dream of Etruscan princesses.

Understanding jewelry as a meaningful element of expression of the personal image, Roc creates works of wearable art that are built upon lifelong explorations of beauty and his own creative journey.

Roc was awarded the Couture Design Award for Gold in 2012 (Las Vegas, USA) for the design in gold of the Tresor necklace (codesigned with Abril Ribera) and received the Couture Design Award for Silver in 2015 for the design in silver of the necklace Marina.

Roc has taken part in Espai Joia 2013 (Barcelona), the conference “Mediterranean-inspired jewels” at EASD (School of Art and Design of Gran Canaria), at the third edition of Design Habitat (Madrid) and has exhibited at the Kyoto Handicraft Center for the Catalan Arts and Crafts week in Japan, among others.
