Pilar Agueci

Inspired by interstitial space and nature’s raw materials, Pilar Agueci’s work plays with contrast and volume. In paring dissimilar elements together—stone and gem, pearl and metal—her work has a unique balance and timelessness.

Raised in British Columbia, Pilar received her bachelor’s degree in Design from the Ontario College of Art and Design and continued her studies with an Artistic Residency in Jewelry and Silversmithing Department of the Glasgow School of Art.  During her time in Europe, she developed her production skills, started her career as an educator and furthered her practice with workshops, studying at the renowned Alchimia Contemporary Jewelry School in Holland with jewelry artist Ruudt Peters.

On her return to Canada, she worked with contemporary jeweler Janis Kerman further honing her technical skills, before launching her own line and opening her flagship boutique in 2017.  Drawing on her artistic training, Pilar’s designs focus on the singularity of the material, highlighting its natural magnetism.

Inspiré des espaces interstitiels et des matières brutes, le travail de Pilar Agueci joue avec les contrastes et les volumes. En combinant des éléments distincts — pierres et pierres précieuse, perles et métaux — son travail présente l’équilibre et le caractère unique de ce qui est intemporel.

Élevée en Colombie-Britannique, Pilar a reçu son baccalauréat en Design de l’Université de l'École d'art et de design de l'Ontario avant de continuer ses études avec une résidence d’art au département de Joaillerie et d’Orfèvrerie de la Glasgow School of Art. Pendant son séjour en Europe, elle a développé ses compétences de fabrication, débuté sa carrière d’enseignement et approfondi sa pratique à travers des ateliers, étudiant à la célèbre Alchimia Contemporary Jewelry School en Hollande avec l’artiste joaillier Ruudt Peters.

À son retour au Canada, elle a travaillé avec la joaillière contemporaine Janis Kerman, perfectionnant la maîtrise de son savoir-faire technique, avant de lancer sa propre ligne et d’ouvrir sa première boutique en 2017. Tirant son fondement de sa formation artistique, les créations de Pilar se concentrent sur la singularité de la matière, mettant en évidence son magnétisme naturel.
