The Eye in Contemporary Jewellery. Spotlight Artworks by Klimt02
Published: 02.07.2024
We often say that the eye is the window to the soul. The intriguing organ of sight is far more than a mere biological mechanism. This vitreous sphere, with its iris and pupil, carries complex and multifunctional symbolism. Sometimes a symbol of foresight, protection, love, and providence, the eye embodies not only vision but also the depth of each individual. It serves as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, a mirror separating oneself from others and enabling access to spiritual enlightenment.
From prehistory to the present day, the eye has been symbolised and highlighted to captivate the viewer across all artistic domains. It symbolises observation, understanding, and the capacity to question and create.
In this article, we will adopt the collector's eye to present a selection of artworks and artists who utilise the eye as a symbolic figure devoted to all kinds of allegories.
