ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My artistic journey as a jewellery maker is steeped in the exploration of time and the beauty of natural ageing processes. I imbue each piece with a sense of life and growth, using hand-carved amber and wood, symbolising the timeless allure of nature. Deeply rooted in my Baltic identity, I'm committed to sustainable sourcing, aiming to redefine the use of amber in contemporary jewellery.
In my creative palette, I also extensively work with precious metals and gemstones. My "We Are All Dreamers" earring collection is a tribute to the shared human spirit of dreaming, weaving intricate silver designs with vibrant gemstones to mirror the colourful range of our collective aspirations.
Inspired by the dynamic volumes of the sea, my 'Flow' collection breaks the mould of conventional jewellery. It explores large, statement pieces that extend the traditional understanding of a ring, reflecting the fluidity and ceaseless rhythm of ocean waves.
Over time, my pieces, like nature, evolve gracefully. Their surfaces change, revealing the traces of time and the cyclical journey of nature. Through my work, I invite wearers to embrace this transformation, encapsulating the cycle of life and time in each unique piece.
