Pallavi Verma / India
Coming from a background of traditional Indian goldsmiths, Pallavi moved to Europe at the age of 19 to pursue a BA & MA Degree from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp in Jewlery Design & Gold and Silver Smithing. Pallavi’s work involves personal experiences from both eastern and western culture. Jewlery for her is about hidden revelations, the exploration of boundaries, emotions and identities. Her work aims to take jewelry beyond expectations by creating interactive pieces, through which she tries to involve or touch the wearer and the observer physically and psychologically. In 2018 Pallavi started her own jewelry brand, journey from being an art graduate to making a living through art and how to remain relevant to the present times.
