Art Nouveau Influence
The frog trinket boxes embody the essence of art nouveau, a style that emerged in the late 19th century and celebrated organic forms, flowing lines, and a harmonious blend of nature and art. Keren Kopal's creations capture this aesthetic with their intricate enamel work, delicately painted details and the incorporation of Austrian and Swarovski crystals that mimic the iridescent quality of a frog's skin.
