ABOUT MYSELF
My journey into contemporary jewelry began with my sister, who, when I was a teenager, wore elegant rings from a hidden boutique in Milan. She gifted me my first ‘real’ ring—one I still wear today.
After years in contemporary art, moving from Milan to Graz, I discovered the work of an elderly Viennese artisan whose creations captivated me. I was ready to ask her to take me on as an apprentice, but she passed away before I could. This loss pushed me to pursue a Masterclass, determined to learn the craft and carry forward the inspiration she left behind.
In spring 2020, I arrived at kunst.wirt.schaft—an intimate, creative space that immediately felt like home.
My work is deeply personal, shaped by intuition, emotion, and a lifelong connection to art and nature. Each piece is an exploration, a reflection of a moment, an instinct translated into form. I embrace experimentation, imperfection, and the endless possibilities of creation.
