(...) There is no definitive Weber-style, rather a Weber's jewelry concept, free from material constraints and conventions set by his own collections; between surreal fantasy and biting humor, but also beguiling beauty and sensual appeal, considered and reflected, often erotic or romantic, full of allusion and reference, entertaining and serious.

Artist list
Norman Weber
The first encounter with the decorative works of Norman Weber (born 1964 in Schwäbisch Gmünd) can have daunting consequences as his subtle wit, the game of irony and deceit filled with classical rankings, and his beguiling poetry with formal adventure do not allow an immediate reaction. One must mercilessly forfeit any preconceptions and, should this not yet be the case, it will only be a matter of time.
The both gold- and silversmith began as a self taught artisan and continued onto the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, studying under Hermann Jünger, Otto Künzli and Horst Sauerbruch. Compositional sensitivity and well thought-out concepts create an artistic statement that distinguishes his artful jewelry pieces from the very start. Beyond that, he can be described as an eccentric and sophisticated designer who has mastered his tools like a master juggler. Building off the basis of a perfect handwork, he ignites a vibrant display for the imagination and develops jewelry creations, inspired by and then altering traditional subjects, giving them a completely new identity.

Photographic and graphic templates, digital development of the three dimensional idea, complex design issues, color design – these pillars support the individual jewelry cosmos of Norman Weber.
