Artist list

Guntis Lauders

“Nature is my inspiration and one of my greatest teachers. 
In order to create something, I need to be in the silence of nature from time to time. Being there allows me to access thoughts and feelings that are deep inside me; and the more I look, the more I see…
Symbols, metaphors and images appear in front of my eyes – all I have to do is take note of them and turn them into jewellery.
I like to work with my hands; I like to see the results and I know that everything depends solely on me. 
Beauty makes me feel good and happy about life.
I feel that many people have lost their connection with the natural world. I invite them to return to their roots through my jewellery.”
