This alone should tell you that Corvaja is in a category of his own. A tireless experimenter melding science and traditional craftsmanship to create riddles of sublime beauty in gold. Futuristic as the techniques may be, he is an artist with a soul taking craft to astounding new levels of perfection. In Corvaja’s hand, gold becomes soft as fabric, 100th of the width of a human hair and as soft as fur. In his quest to take gold to places it has never before ventured, Corvaja is constantly evolving his techniques. The latest involves a miniature lattice-work of ultra-fine gold wire, which under the extreme conditions of the vacuum chamber, the gold adheres by contact alone.

Corvaja is the only jeweller working under these conditions, which are much like those used to grow diamonds using the PVD (physical vapour deposition) methods. ‘Most of the time things don’t work because there is air and some processes need a vacuum to succeed,’ explains Corvaja. ‘I started to realise that a lot of techniques done in the normal atmosphere like Japanese mokume goldwork try to replicate a vacuum situation through pressure and heat.’ So he built his one vacuum chamber. Version 3, sits atop version 2 and version 1 imploded.

Corvaja attributes his unique approach of science and art to the fact that he is the son of two professors of physical chemistry at the University of Padua. ‘When I had a technical problem relating to say the physics of a material, I would turn to my parents,’ explains Corvaja. ‘They would ask their colleagues and it became a kind of challenge. I also had access to the whole library of theUniversity of Padua.’

By the age of 14 he was studying art and material sciences at the university and working at the bench alongside master jewellers in Padua. Pada 18 he was accepted at the Royal College of Arts in London, an exception to the rule but his talent convinced David Watkins the head of the Jewellery Department, to accept him despite his young age.

His quixotic quest has made him one of the most collected artist-jewellers of our times with museums around the world including New York’s Met and MAD, the Swiss National Museum, Paris’ Arts Decoratifs, the Boston Museum of Fine Art and the Dallas Museum of Art to name a few of the institutions that have acknowledged his role as a leading artist of our time. His ground-breaking Golden Fleece headpiece turned 160 km of gold wire into fleece and took 2,500 hours to create. Most recently his Mandala bowl, created in the vacuum orb, was a finalist in the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2019. A near-miracle of craft, this dainty object of gnomic grace is made of 4 kms of gold wire that weighs but 82 grammes and two-thirds of its volume is thin air.
