About Iris De La Torre

My name is Iris De La Torre and I design colourful and playful graphics which I transform into jewellery, accessories and objects. My work is inspired by Mexican Folk Arts and Crafts and the magic of 1960s graphic design. I was born in Guadalajara in Mexico and in 2003 I travelled from Mexico to London to attend university followed by one year of the two-year Jewellery MA Degree at Central Saint Martins. During my Jewellery BA at London Metropolitan University, I started developing a graphic language inspired by my love of graphic illustration, Mexican Folk Arts in combination with the simplicity and fun of 1960s Graphic Design. At University, I was introduced to non-traditional techniques and materials produce jewellery. I immediately fell in love with acrylic sheet and rubber because these materials translated my graphic style successfully. The design process of my work is a lengthy evolution from research, to the development of initial ideas (sketching, illustration and prototyping) until I reach the final stage of the process. My jewellery is mainly made by Perspex sheet; a recyclable material. I plan my work very well so that there is absolute minimum waste of materials. My aim is to produce an innovative graphic design narrative through my work and make a finished piece of jewellery design, object of illustration of which I am proud and embodies fun hope and optimism.
