Liz’s Diamonds explores the strength and vulnerability of Elizabeth Taylor through a silent, frontal portrait, where the softness of the pose contrasts with the powerful intensity of her gaze.

 

The necklace, recreated identically and adorned with a crystalline heart, becomes a central symbolic motif. Crafted with the precision of a master goldsmith, it reinforces the material singularity of the piece and asserts its status as a studio work, where brilliance and fragility coexist. A quote by Elizabeth Taylor, discreetly concealed within the artwork, further extends its sensitive resonance:

 

“You can’t cry on a diamond’s shoulder, they won’t keep you warm at night.”

 

It appears as a whispered truth, reminding us that beyond the myth remains a human element, composed of emotion, desire, and solitude.

 

Through this piece, Gregory BAÔO does not merely freeze an icon: he restores her breath and depth, in a subtle dialogue between memory, matter, and contemporary sensitivity.
