Artist list

Akis Goumas, Vivi Touloumidi
The Atelier Martina Dempf is presenting the works of international contemporary jewellers since more than ten years. The old renovated coach house in a back yard near the famous Admiralbrücke is a very special location in the vibrant area of Berlin-Kreuzberg.


Theoretical and practical research is developed through a constant reflection of the world around me. In my jewellery practice I investigate the multifaceted meanings of the medium and look through its lenses at the human nature. Understanding jewellery as phenomenon is my way of negotiating and commenting on society and history. Thinking of jewellery not as an add-on, but as a put out. / Vivi Touloumidi
 
My involvement for more than a decade with the study of prehistoric finds from Aegean region has affected significantly the way I express myself through the contemporary jewellery. The creative process develops as a conceptual excavation into my inner self, which brings to the surface emotions and impressions from personal or communal memories. In some sense, this process resembles stratigraphic  archaeological excavation, in which every section - layer has the characteristics of a certain period of time. / Akis Goumas
