Heart Evangelista unveils jewelry line featuring her artworks
The actress-painter turns her artworks into wearable jewelry.
Love Marie Ongpauco-Escudero, more popularly known as Heart Evangelista, shared on Instagram today, July 5, her new jewelry line featuring her previous artworks, in collaboration with jewelry company Royal Gem.
“For me, painting has become an outlet to express my inner emotions. In a way, it also serves as my form of therapy when dealing with depression and anxiety, and this is why I am truly grateful that I was able to pursue this life-long passion through my Modern Muse Collection with @royalgemph,” she said on her Instagram post.
The Modern Muse Collection, according to Royal Gem’s website, is “inspired by the different facets of the modern woman as expressed in paintings from Heart’s 2018 In Full Bloom Collection.”
“These pieces have been carefully selected and naturally handcrafted to come out as one-of-a-kind wearable artworks,” Royal Gem added.
“In Full Bloom” was her 7th painting exhibit, showcasing a 21-piece collection culminating two years of completion, with her painting focusing on women as subjects.
Her works were exhibited at Ayala Museum’s ArtistSpace on April 6, 2018.
