ONDINA LISETE VIEIRA TAVARES PINTO MOURÃO
Island:
São Miguel - Ponta DelgadaBiography:
Born in Porto and resident in São Miguel, Ondina Vieira started working in costume jewelry with volcanic stone in 2008.
Under the trademark InnOVare-artesanato her creations add several natural materials and local traditions, with volcanic rock being the main element.
Her contemporary costume jewelry with the so-called "noble" materials of the Azores - basalt, volcanic slag and sand - has opened up new horizons, which with the mixture of other materials, silver metal wire, copper or brass, transforms them into exquisite handicrafts.
