(Provided by the Representative Office in France) Fax from Central News Agency reporter Zeng Yixuan in Paris, June 28, 2015 (Central News Agency reporter Zeng Yixuan’s special call from Paris on the 28th) Jewelry designer and gold carving craftsman Li Zhining won an award at a luxury goods and creative industry event in Paris. The organizer commented that her work combines the tradition of European carving craftsmanship and the connotation of Asian calligraphy, embodying a lively dialogue between endangered crafts and contemporary creation. Le Center du Luxe et de la Création (Le Center du Luxe et de la Création) held its annual summit in Paris on the 23rd of this month and issued the “Les Talents du luxe et de la création” (Les Talents du luxe et de la création) award to commend the skills and creativity of relevant practitioners. According to the official website, the Center for Luxury and Creativity is the industry’s think tank and action platform, dedicated to interpreting and shaping the future of luxury goods from the creative, social and economic perspectives. Information from the organizer shows that this year’s jury members include Hubert Barrère, the fashion art professional ambassador of the fashion brand Chanel, Alberto Cavalli, director of the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftmanship, founders of consulting companies and media people. Li Zhining was recognized by the Talent de la Séduction. She originally studied graphic design at university, and went to Italy to study sculpture in 2015, because painting on metal can preserve the pattern for a longer time, and in addition to color, light, light and shadow can also be used for artistic expression. In an interview, she said that the focus of her works has always been the connection between Eastern and Western cultures. Sculptures and materials are familiar forms in the West, while patterns and meanings can find resonance in the East. For example, in the “Whispers of Hope” series in the collection, the metal plates are integrated with Hakka rush weaving. Li Zhining said that she has been promoting carving skills for more than ten years and believes that this award not only values the overall work, but also values the creator’s contribution to the craft or the art circle. Her creative concept is to use patterns or symbols with cultural significance to make her works a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures, and to give new life to endangered crafts through her works. Li Zhining was responsible for hand engraving at the British base of jewelry brand Tiffany & Co., and established the Epona Smith brand in 2023.
