Together they have combined their creativity and created a brand inspired by nature and various literary characters they admire. Their brand is not just the final products that can be seen on their website, but the entire universe created around them.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Tell us about yourselves and your work. Where did your vocation begin?

Inspired by nature and the colours of the islands, we decided to pool our creativity and share a project that spans not only our personal lives, but also our professional sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What do you find most satisfying about your work, and is there anything you are particularly proud of?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developing a concept and being able to bring it to life, whether it's through the pieces that Marc makes one by one, the website itself, the photographs... is something that gives us a great deal of satisfaction. We would never have thought that the two of us could become so integrated in the creation of an entire universe that revolves around our brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/entrevista_elida_2.png\" alt=\"\u00c9LIDA C: Nature-inspired jewellery | Monapart \" class=\"wp-image-1207\" title=\"elida_interview_2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/entrevista_elida_2.png 600w, https:\/\/www.monapart.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/entrevista_elida_2-300x214.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What is your creative process like, what are your sources of inspiration, any particular music while working?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The creative process when making a piece is very artisanal. After rescuing the pieces that we will use, whether from antique markets or small local shops, Marc gets down to work and that is how our final product emerges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote alignright is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspiration comes from everywhere, whether going to an art exhibition, watching a film or even listening to music.
