- When did you start dedicating yourself to the world of contemporary jewelry?
When I started my education as an engraver at a school for jewellers - that was also the first time I get in contact with contemporary jewelry. But at this time I actually was more excited about engravings and print techniques, before I fell in love with jewellery.
- What do you take inspiration from when you start creating a new collection?
My inspiration is nature - especially the colors of flowers and structures.
- What kind of work or material do you prefer?
I love to work with glass because of the brightness of the material! And porcelain because of all the patience you need to get a result.
- What are your points of reference in the world of contemporary jewelry and art?
The galleries and exhibitions in Vienna are my favorites and I love to see the old art nouveau jewellery there.
- Three words with which you would describe the Artistar Jewels project.
Innovative. Exciting. Italian. :)
-What do you think of the jewels that were on show this year? Have you been fascinated by any particular creation?
I was fascinated about all the fantastic ideas and materials - there were not only the metal/ gold and silver stuff but even a lot of exciting materials!
- How would you define the atmosphere created on the 22nd and 23rd February nights of Artistar Jewels 2018?
It was a familiar and very casual atmosphere were I could make a lot of new contacts and great talks!
- Would you recommend to other artists to take part in Artistar Jewels?
Seeing so many people from around the world and all the contacts - even if you wont win, it is a great experience!
