The show highlighted Picasso’s medallions and plates, conceived as sculptural extensions of his artistic vision and translated into precious metal through Hugo’s craftsmanship.

These limited-edition gold and silver pieces, made with Picasso’s characteristic spontaneity and produced in very small numbers, are seldom seen outside private collections or major institutions.

Each work continues Vudrag’s study of transformation and spiritual depth, showing how metal shifts from raw structure to expressive form. By blending technical precision with conceptual intention, LEGACY offers a contemporary reading of enduring themes such as creation, faith, and identity, inviting viewers to consider how these ideas persist across culture and time.
