After graduating The Interdisciplinary course of Art and Design at the Huddersfield University, UK, Victoria Tonu chose jewelry, print and collage as main areas of interest. Vika Tonu Design was born in June 2013, concurrently with the first ring series entitled ‘Dimiourgia’, revealing a universe of jewelry loaded with symbolism and power.
By using the four basic shapes – the triangle, the square, the circle, the semi circle – and by associating them with the four universal forces – fire, earth, water, air – Victoria wishes to create a cognitive process for the wearers of her jewelry, by offering them objects as totems, which elusively remind about the elements that form our personalities. Her style can be described as minimalistic, geometric, one of simplification striving to achieve the essence of things.
‘Urban geometry’ collection is inspired from the shapes of the urban buildings, having the mirror as main element, emphasizing the reflection of the environment and of the human soul.
