Dawning in a new year, in a new project to create with my hands is one of my main motivations. In this case, a collection that means a new dawn for me as an entrepreneur, as a mother, as a new routine to create and deliver from my company that fulfills me as a designer and artist but with the determination of a woman who wants to continue materializing this dream. In this collection, color contrasts are represented, for the first time exploring a palette that I am in love with, a deep palette of dark tones very different from what I have been working on and organic shapes as always, those are maintained. We bring very feminine lines to the product in blocks of black and deep blue, here and there a metallic ochre and whites with textures appear. This new creative dawn has kept me in that range of colors.
It all starts with the idea, something that gets into my head and resonates perfectly with the requirement of launching a new collection. I knew for a long time that the brand needed something new and different, not only the brand but me, taking into account a two-year maternity that had me immersed in another dimension and my creativity was focused on maintaining those two lives that I “made” in my belly and that definitely changed my world. So I'll tell you a little about how this creative process has been for me. I've been sharing a lot about how important it is for me to have moments of solitude to be able to work on my ideas, so the perfect moment was at the end of last year. After making all the deliveries and Christmas logistics, the truth is that the last week of the year is quite quiet and the perfect time to take the softer days and give Jess, my assistant, a vacation. That's the key, in the best sense, in Jess's vacation.
I love working in a team. Leading and discussing ideas, problems and dreams with someone has been a wonderful tool for me as an entrepreneur and for the growth of Bosque & Cielo. But this has also made it very clear to me that I maximize my creative spaces much more when I am alone. Sometimes, in the daily routine of arriving at the workshop when we are in production, I have to solve problems, answer calls, etc., and that definitely goes against any creative process. Well, the truth is that problem solving is in itself a creative process, but you know what I'm getting at. I need peace, tranquility and, I repeat, solitude, to let my imagination fly. Arriving at a workshop just for myself is a stimulus for my creativity, so in December this whole ritual of creating a new collection began, between sketches, references, reviewing the products that are most requested to deliver a complete portfolio, images that I have in my head, this path begins.
This is how Amanecer was born, a capsule that took a little longer than I expected in terms of design. I made many iterations of the pieces until I found an aesthetic that seemed coherent between the pieces, a color palette that somehow unified each product. Amanecer is inspired as always by nature for my collections, in addition to my time of life, nature is present in this spring when plants are reborn. This time I managed to unite that new air of spring with the elegance of the night in color, it was very natural how all these concepts became one in the products. Although I am totally in love with each product, I am a little nervous about straying a little from the Bosque & Cielo aesthetic line that normally uses very different colors, but I guarantee that it was made with all the love and curation that I put into everything I do as a designer and artist.
Dawn also comes with a new website that I hope will work better for everyone, for our users and for us by feeding it and keeping it alive. Thank you for coming here and being part of this new Dawn, I know that there will always be changes and challenges, but dawn means that resilience with which we face everything that comes our way, it is falling in love with life and its processes because that is what we came for and I do not intend to waste a second of this that passes so quickly.
