Yaksh Verma – The touch of gold
When Yaksh introduced me to the Collection that was going to be exhibited at Galeria Reverso, I had the impression that it was something extraordinary and I was not wrong.
I have known him for many years and we have often had occasion to talk about his art and his artistic sensitivity. I have always appreciated his calmness, his polite but decisive, unstoppable character.
I had the privilege of being one of the first to know his latest collection, Unspoken-1.
He presented it to me as it suits the artists, as someone who opens his heart and his life to a person of trust. I welcomed his action with great respect and gratitude, approaching on tiptoe the discovery of his creations.
While Yaksh was telling me about his collection, the genesis of the various pieces and his artistic research, I understood that it was not just a collection of jewels but a story that has its roots in ancestral times to find new life and vigour to face our present.
All pieces of the Unspoken-1 Collection are rings. I have always had a weakness for this type of jewelry because, in my opinion, it is among the most intimate of all. The ring is an object in our hands, adhering to the skin, veins and in direct contact with our heart.
The pieces that Yaksh creates are recipients of our deepest thoughts; impulses, moods but also intimate sensations and personal reflections. The unspoken, in fact.
