Samuel Guillén

“My Inspiration Lays On The Everyday Experience Of The Urban Landscape.”

Samuel Guillen seeks to transform the structures of the city found all around us, often a mixture of rough and sleek technical elements, into a visual vocabulary for his designs. Modernity, as understood through architecture and industrial design, is the basis of Guillen’s discerning style. Crafted of sterling silver and vitreous enameled copper, Guillen employs hollow construction and cold connection techniques in creating his jewelry collections.

Guillen studied jewelry at the 92nd Street Y Jewelry Center and has been a member of Brooklyn Metal Works since 2014. In 2017, Brooklyn Metal Works presented the exhibition Ping Pong | David Hardcastle & Samuel Guillen, a collaboration between the two artists inspired by working in close proximity within the studio. Guillen is currently based in Brooklyn, NY.
