Atis Sáez

I am a designer by profession and a jeweler by passion and love of the craft. I have been working manually all my life, and it has been the craft of jewelry that has driven me to persist and continue experimenting with different metal techniques. Among these, my work in metal weaving has been the most recognizable aspect of my work. I have spent almost 15 years creating jewelry lines, conceptual pieces, and teaching the craft of jewelry.

Among my achievements are government recognition: as a certified artisan, preselected for the Seal of Excellence and awarded it last year. Participating in national fairs such as Pura Joya and international fairs such as Puro Diseño in Argentina, the Sieraad Art Fair, and the collective exhibition of contemporary jewelry "Migranti" in Rome have represented a significant personal and professional growth. In all these instances, I have sought to leave a mark of Chilean identity, whether through materials such as copper or the concept behind each piece, as well as a personal identity through my crochet work.
