Ana Hagopian

Ana Hagopian is a Barcelona-based jewelry artist who began creating her first paper jewelry collections in 1994, transforming an unconventional material into pieces of striking beauty and quiet originality. Guided by inspiration drawn from nature, travel, and the philosophy of arte povera, she cuts and assembles paper by hand to create necklaces and adornments that feel at once sculptural, weightless, and deeply expressive. Designs such as the Amazonas Necklace and Donuts Necklace reveal her instinctive approach especially well, using color, rhythm, and volume to turn jewelry into a small wearable composition. Her work brings a sense of play, individuality, and artistic presence to the body, offering pieces that feel less like accessories and more like intimate objects of expression for a customer drawn to design with soul.
