Vienna 4

Artist list

Claudia Steiner, Eva Tesarik, Michelle Kraemer, Viktoria Münzker Ferus

Four jewelry artists from Austria, Luxemburg and Slovakia, each of whom lives and works primarily in Vienna, present their new creations at Schmuck 2014 in Munich.

Michelle Kraemer creates her jewelry by directly feeling and playing with the materials. They’re simultaneously her inspiration and her challenge, and she continues to transform the materials until the result is a piece of jewelry.
Viktoria Munzker is inspired by nature: for example, by the movements of water, which is constantly drawn to and fro, seemingly weightless, and never motionless. The open field of the imagination from which her jewelry results also reveals the feelings and emotions of its maker.
Claudia Steiner’s pieces describe the various facets of the personality and the changes it undergoes. Her jewelry guides its beholder’s gaze toward what has been concealed, while the forms embody a sleekly simple aesthetic and the colors refer to the essentials.
Eva Tesarik is influenced by the “chambers of marvels” of the Renaissance. She combines amber (“the gold of the north”) and various other materials to create contemporary “chambers of marvels.”
