Dora Des
Hungary / Austria
I am a Vienna-based jewellery artist, classically trained as a goldsmith in Budapest, with studies in Budapest and Sweden. Active since 2011, I am co-founder of Budapest Jewelry Week and have been a member of Atelier STOSSIMHIMMEL since 2016. My work is exhibited internationally and explores themes of value and worthlessness, individual and collective responsibility, female existence, and the tension between freedom and boundaries. Inspired by the forms and textures of nature, my jewellery combines playfulness with hidden meanings and moments of irony. For me, jewellery is a wonderful medium of self-expression. I am fascinated by how a piece of jewellery can make statements, convey feelings and initiate dialogues without words.
