Ana Pina
Ana Pina was born in 1980, in Porto, Portugal, city where she studied, still lives and works.
She graduates in architecture (FAUP, 2004) and works in an office for a few years, until she founds her passion for contemporary jewelry and decides to work as a jeweler full time. Her background in this area includes a workshop in school Contacto Directo and the professional course in school Engenho e Arte, besides some specific complementary workshops.
She develops her personal jewelry brand since 2012 and Tincal lab is since 2015 the workshop and showroom of the brand, exhibition space, meeting point with colleagues, friends and customers.
In her work she combines her background in architecture with traditional jewelry techniques and contemporary concepts of design in the creation of jewels with a strong abstract and geometric inspiration, in search of a modern, versatile and feminine style.
Unique pieces or limited collections combine elements of a common vocabulary in a game of contrasts and textures, geometric relations and asymmetries, as if they were letters building words inserted in a bigger text.
Some of her favorite things include: cats, the color red, chocolate, shoes, books, music, cinema, travels and yoga.
