As well as powerful female figures from history, and surrealism.

About retórica
The name retórica arises based on the idea of a strong, feminine sound, with a meaning based on language theory and studies which in this case is applied in the visual theory. Jewelry is an object that throughout history has always been given a feminine connotation and given as gifts, but also a weapon of empowerment and expression.
