Bio

Heidemarie Herb is trained as a goldsmith in Germany qualified in Munich. She attended various courses, conferences, and workshops. Her works have been displayed in a number of prominent exhibitions in around twenty countries, including her project "Amber Chamber" in the USA. She has also been honoured in different awards in Poland, Russia and Italy. Her works are in the permanent collection at the Museum of Amber (PL), Malbork Castle Museum (PL), Cominelli Foundation (IT), also in private collections in Austria, the USA, and Lithuania. Important in her works are the interplay of colour and form, accuracy, and imperfection to create a harmonious overall picture. Currently, she lives and works in Italy.

Statement

Opposites attract each other and therefore can be combined or joined, they are attractions in my work. The interplay of colour and form, accuracy and imperfection are fundamental to creating a harmonious overall picture.

Often find beauty in imperfection. I prefer to combine pigments with silver and to use old materials such as rusted iron, objects I found or old forgotten parts of these last. Working them out and giving them a new feeling of being is what I most likely do. I like to preserve memories and thoughts. Movements, the play of various forms, lightness, and colours in harmony with each other are important in each of my works.
