Kika Prette, the artistic director of APM Monaco, has long understood that jewellery transcends mere decoration. It becomes a vessel for emotion, a tangible expression of the sensibilities that move us. Now, with painter Karine Prette, her sister in law, she transforms that understanding into something altogether more intimate: a collaboration that allows two distinct creative languages to speak in concert.
The exhibition opening November 13 to 15 in Paris represents something rarer still. It is not simply a partnership between a luxury jewellery house and a visual artist, though it is that. Rather, it is a family affair, one rooted in genuine creative kinship. Karine Prette brings a sensibility described as deeply sensitive; her painterly universe, with all its texture and emotional resonance, now enters into dialogue with APM Monaco’s refined aesthetic. The jewels themselves become different objects when placed against her work, as though each medium enriches and clarifies the other.
The winter collection will be unveiled during the same three days, suggesting that the pieces themselves carry something of this artistic exchange. When design meets painting, when the rigour of fine jewellery encounters the expressive freedom of the canvas, new possibilities emerge. Kika Prette speaks of two passions converging: the jewel and the art. In this case, they prove to be one.
The exhibition runs from 13 to 15 November at the APM Monaco space in Paris.
