Statement

For me, the pleasure in jewelry design and creation is in using my hands, the tactile to express a concept, an idea, a sensation, an emotion. The freedom of allowing the execution process to lead me into altering and developing what I want to express. It is not always a lucid idea in the beginning, but it inevitably evolves and transforms, until it reaches a point where I sense balance. Having the final piece in my hand is something that never ceases to amaze me.

When I share my work, I absorb how others react to it, how they interpret it and what it evokes in them.

CV

Rana Mikdashi, 1973, Beirut, Lebanon.

After completing her M.Sc. in mathematics in 1997 at The University of Ottawa, Canada, Rana formally took up her interest in jewelry making. She commenced her training in Ottawa and developed it through an apprenticeship at a silversmith’s workshop in Khan El-Khalili in Cairo, Egypt in 2000. She then pursued her education by joining the Alchimia School for contemporary Jewelry and Design in Florence, Italy, where she completed the specialization programme with Manuel Vilhena in 2003.

Shortly after, Rana moved to Barcelona, Spain, where she trained and worked for two and half years.
Has held solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions, in Egypt, Lebanon, Italy and Spain.
Currently works from her own studio in Beirut, Lebanon.
