Matilde Poulat
Mexico City, Mexico
"Educated as an artist and designer, Matilde Poulat of Mexico City, better known as Matl, turned her talented hands to jewelry making in 1934. Her pieces are quite unique, baroque forms with delicate textured detailing that took hours of chasing, the pieces often channel set with a multitude of tiny coral and turquoise stones. Her work is probably the most intricate that the Mexican Silver Renaissance has produced and is often beautiful."
