Ana Pina

Ana Pina was born in Porto in 1980.
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, designing and producing unique pieces or limited collections.
In June of 2015 she launches a new project and opens the doors of Tincal lab - a virtual platform and jewelry atelier, in Porto's city center.

In her work she combines 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 and feminine style.
She's influenced by drawing, color, the nature of materials, contrasts and textures, geometric relations and asymmetries.
