Jocelyn Alsira Solis, JAS joyeria

Jocelyn Alsira Solis is an interdisciplinary Honduran artist-maker based in Boston. Solis was raised between the U.S.A and Honduras where she initiated her art practice in painting. Solis is centered on creating art jewelry as adornment for the body. She stitches together her interest in nature and organic experimentations with ethical practices through the use of natural fibers and recycled precious metals. Her narratives on cultural memory and identity are stimulants to her work. In 2020 she earned a BFA in Jewelry and Metalsmithing at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, MA. Her studio practice consists of creating art jewelry pieces inspired by the Pre-Columbian ethical practices, using stones for forging silver and gold, always aiming for conscious, organic and slow making processes.
