IKIIKI Rainbow Brooch

Bio:

I am a contemporary jewellery designer, based in Budapest, Hungary. I am interested in innovative materials, and I like creating new composites. My products are different series of my vision. Creating in space is the biggest passion of mine. Colors and shapes are endlessly combining and the experiment is above everything. This experiment can turn out well or wrong, but it keeps going on anyway.

Artist Statement:

Metalfoam is an innovative technical material originally developed for industrial use. My idea was to put this material in a different perspective and show the raw beauty of it in jewelry design. I apply different surface treatments and painting methods to saturate the contrast between the shiny, polished precious metal surface and the organic cell structure. The results of this process are vivid pieces ranging from earrings, pendants, bracelets, brooches to rings.
