BEATRICE BROVIA / Curriculum Vitae y b. 1985, Modena, Italy; lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden y “Jewelry came to me as a meaningful code, a language, open for investigation. What triggers me is its symbolical value, its capability of identfiying and marking a body. Jewelry as a carrier of meanings. Jewelry as ritualized objects.” Essinge Brogata 16, lgh. 115 11261 Stockholm - Sweden [email protected] +46 (0)73 38 36 819 www.beatricebrovia.com www.conversationpiece.co Education 2007-2009: 2004-2007: 2006-2007: 1999-2004: MFA Jewelry+Corpus, Konstfack, Stockholm, Sweden; professors Ruudt Peters, Karen Pontoppidan; B.Sc.
