‘The artist as fine jewelry maker is a long tradition: Calder, Picasso and even Rauschenburg made jewelry. I wanted to add to that tradition’. – Jason Oliva
Buddha. 2009. Acrylic on Canvas. (Sold)
Buddha Pendant Necklace
Back in 2008, while thinking about making sculptures based upon my sold works on canvas, I began to also entertain the idea of turning those sculptures into jewelry – a type of ‘wearable art.’
My painting, Buddha, generated substantial interest when I posted it on my website and so it was this image that I used for my first jewelry piece.
I decided upon a sterling silver, square Framed pendant necklace rendition of Buddha, that used the exact same line work as the original painting.
I then thought it might be interesting to free the image from its frame and create a stand alone, Cut-Out version of the painting’s image, also in the form of a pendant.
As a finishing touch, I wanted to create a unique box to present the Buddha pendant necklace in. I was able to source packaging for the jewelry that would allow it to be displayed while doubling as a picture frame to hold a miniature, signed print of the original Buddha painting.
