Raluca Buzura

 

Raluca Buzura was born in a northern province of Romania in 1984. She graduated the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca, Romania in 2007. After completing a master degree in ceramics in 2009, her main focus becomes contemporary jewelry design.
Her interest in jewelry comes from the fact that this area has not been given much attention as frequently people use to see it only as an over plus brought to the human body, that has a value depending only on the material used. Therefore, it was a challenge to change viewer’s angle and to reveal an alternative: that jewelry can be considered a work of art in its own right, having an artistic understanding, concept and message that can cover a wide range of fields.
With an experience in ceramic jewelry for over 15 years, her most representative artistic activity include: “AUTOR" – Contemporary Jewelry Fair, Bucharest, Romania (2009-2023), personal exhibition “IRREVERSIBLE”- Popeye Loves Olive Gallery, Athens, Greece (2016), “LOOT: MAD ABOUT JEWELRY” – Museum of Art and Design, New York (2017), ”COLLECTIVA MEETING” International Exhibition, Collectiva Gallery, Porto, Portugal (2018), “MateriaMetamorphosis” International Exhibition, Creativity Oggetti Gallery, Torino, Italy (2018) , SCHMUCK – Munich Jewellery Week, Germany (2019), BIJOUX! West Palm Beach, USA (2020-2023) and a collaboration with the spanish porcelain brand Lladró.

Her work has been shown by publications such as New Necklaces by Nicolas Estrada (cover), Metalsmith Magazine or Vogue Japan, and rewarded with following prizes: Autor Awesome Award (2018), Collectiva Meeting Award (2018), Faire Magazine Award (2018), Joya Barcelona Award (2019) and gold medal in International Design Award (2020).

Currently, she lives and continues her artistic activity in Tortosa, Spain.

 

Collection details
Name of the collection:
SUBTERRANA

 

Description of the collection:

Beneath the earth’s surface, unseen forces shape and reshape the world. Layers of pressure, heat, and time fracture and fuse, creating landscapes of destruction and renewal. SUBTERRANA emerges from this underground narrative, a jewelry collection crafted in black porcelain with gold luster, evoking the raw power of tectonic movement—where charred ground cracks open to reveal the molten glow of transformation.
This interplay of darkness and light, of fragility and strength, mirrors the very essence of our planet's dynamic, being an aesthetic exploration and a reflection on the fractures within our own society. Just as the Earth's crust is in constant tension, shifting and colliding in unseen turmoil, so too does our world exist in a state of perpetual disruption—political conflicts, technological upheaval, cultural collisions, and existential uncertainties. Moments of instability, rupture, and resistance define both geology and human experience, but from these fractures, something precious emerges. Within these fractures, there is brilliance—new ideas, identities, and possibilities.
These pieces are not passive adornments but artifacts of a world in flux, echoing the tremors of our time. They ask us to embrace the fissures not as an end, but as a beginning, to find brilliance in the rupture, and to honor the forces that reshape us, within and without.
