Mehma K.

I'm mehma. I use oil paints to disrupt the purity of the blank canvas with abstract shapes and lines. I feature very loosely interpreted seascapes and sunsets prominently. I've lived my whole life steps away from the ocean, and I find it the most meaningful inspiration. My pieces attempt to join the joy of abandon with color to create bold, bright, daring pieces. Living in Miami, I am no stranger to vibrancy and create works that transport others to this magical space. Life is a fragile, beautiful thing. I work within this fragility to craft original, handmade heirloom pieces to last for generations. I have been attracted to the idea of jewelry as art since I was a child, inspired by my grandmother's small but deeply meaningful collection of one-of-a-kind pieces brought to America with her from Ukraine. My jewelry line balances the delicacy of life and the resiliency within each of us. I use the minimal yet powerful: a thin gold strand, a single diamond. Simple but never basic.
