Hans Brumann, Swiss-born and bred, today a Filipino citizen. An experienced goldsmith and designer, he has successfully established his very own brand which specializes in gold, silver and platinum, artistically embellished with diamonds, precious colored gemstones and pearls.
Arturo Luz, printmaker, sculptor, designer and art administrator, held fort at an often-visited modern art depository. A founding member of the neo-realist school in the country, he dabbled in a variety of styles and techniques. He created playful whimsical forms and figures, an artist extraordinaire, a National Artist for visual arts.
Impy Pilapil, multimedia artist, sculptor, serigraphist, muralist, stage designer and columnist. A master of solace and tranquility, she invokes on the inner self and the spirit. She weaves various materials into large-scale reliefs and sculptures in revered areas within our islands and in foreign shores, which have all stood the test of time.


Together, this exceptional trio embarked on a quest to unravel the thin line between fine art and exquisite jewelry. They experimented with materials which sparked inspiration over conformity. This spawned a couple of collections, which drew in the art world at large, populated by discerning collectors who adored modern aesthetics.
Now, with the launch of "After the Masters III," Brumann once again has handpicked a sterling trio of individuals to carry on the torch through glistening and sparkling accessories.
"Just like a beautiful accent can enhance an outfit, a unique piece of jewelry reflects personal style and character. Enter the ongoing "After the Masters III" exhibit, showcasing sculptural jewelry crafted by four artists. These wearable sculptures transcend traditional design, prioritizing artistic expression over mere adornment," said Pilapil in an exclusive interview.
