Julia Maria Künnap is a jewellery artist known for her contemporary approach to gem cutting and stone carving. For more than ten years she has used natural stones in her artwork, shaping them into touching pieces of jewellery that speak of time. The conceptual core of Künnap's artistic practice lies in the contradiction between the persistence of a stone and the disappearance of a moment.
Artist list
Julia Maria Künnap
On a human level, we are all connected by living the same life, including everyday joys and worries, love and loneliness. Sometimes the joy emerges from good weather, a specific moment of time when the shadows of clouds are sliding above the ground, a slight gust of wind in the branches of a tree behind your window, a moment of lightness. When I succeed to include some of these moments of lightness in my artwork, then perhaps they will also touch other souls.
