Peter de Wit, Margareth Sandström and Maria Ignacia Walker at Platina Gallery

Artist list

Margareth Sandström, Maria Ignacia Walker, Peter de Wit

Margareth Sandström and Peter de Wit became pioneers for a new jewellery development in Sweden in the 1970s, both through their own works and by conveying what happened internationally. Both works have an aesthetic power that makes them timeless. Although they have worked together for over forty years, each has retained its distinctive character. Peter de Wits intellectually sharp and abstract shapes is diametrically opposed to Margareth Sandström's often organic form language. If he seeks his inspiration in geometry, she seeks her in nature. Margareth and Peter's works are collected by a number of museums and exhibitions and are bought by collectors around the world. 

Maria Ignacia Walker is a jewelery artist from Chile. She obtained her first degree in Advertising at Universidad del Desarrollo in 2007, Chile. In October 2015 she graduated from Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence, Italy and 2018-2019 she has been invited to Oslo as an artist in residency at KHIO Art Academy to Loupe Studio, PMQ, Hong Kong. Since graduating, she has impressed the audience with her unique jewelry and body-related objects. Through a myriad of small pearl-like spheres she ties together a peculiar tissue, an intricate structure of cells that becomes a kind of extra skin. The poetic work is fascinating and gave Maria Ignacia Walker the PLATINA exhibition prize at the Benaki Museum during the Athens Jewelery Week 2018.
