A fine arts graduate of Concordia University in 2007, Canadian designer Arielle de Pinto developed her unique style of metal work over the course of studies in print and textiles and a series of internships. Alongside the accessory line stands de Pinto's art pieces: expressionistic metal masks rendered fluidly mutable and rough-hewn carvings exposing irregular, faceted surfaces; both of which reveal transparency in process and an embedded sense of authorship. Privileging transformative processes and unmediated realities, de Pinto's artistic exploration funds the core of all her work, commercial and gallery alike.
