Prudenci Sánchez has covered just about every creative area in jewellery and gold-smithing, from engravings to burins, setting, relief, foundry, enamel, soldering, alloys, smelting... almost always in workshops, rarely at schools.

Form and purpose are quick to go beyond the borders of jewellery and form bridges, making connections with industrial design, painting and especially with volumes, the dimensions of sculptures, the way of interpreting dimensions and space, shapes, colors, the subtleties of conventional jewellery, using common materials we are well familiar with: metals; silver, copper, brass, iron, steel, bronze, wood, porcelain, materials that are sometimes opposed, but often match well.

The result of this process is visible in her pieces. They haven’t been planned to stick, fit or hang on a human body. They are useful objects, ornamental or spiritual in their closeness with art. They are objects intended to address certain new needs, containers for various new elements, defenseless in the corners of your pockets or bag… or perhaps, in some cases with the sole intention of fixing the observer's attention on an object with artistic pretensions, that other innate human need, which we who work with materials all partake in. All these concepts appear to a greater or lesser extent in this string of images of useful, or unnecessary, or absurd objects that are just trying to keep the viewer's eyes busy for as long as possible.
