Martina Lončar
Designer biography:
I was born and raised in Ljubljana. After graduating in Art History at the University of Ljubljana I moved to Italy where I studied at goldsmith school Scuola Orafa Ambrosiana in Milan. Then I moved to Florence the Cradle of Goldsmiths where I attended several corses, among others I did one year apprentice with Alessandro Dari and Marco Garezzini. Since 2014 I had the opportunity to work in jewellery co-working space Officine Nora, where I worked and collaborated with artists from all over the world. Today I live and work between Ljubljana and Florence. I have exhibited in various curated shows in Europe among others in Ljubljana, Rome, Udine, Einthoven, Amsterdam, Vienna and Bratislava.
Collection concept
The Animalier collection brings to the fore the dimensions of precious metal working and traditional techniques. This time I am exploring the physical properties of metals, the colour nuances of different alloys and their patinas. The aim of these experiments is to find solutions to create animal patterns on the surface. The collection is still a work in progress.
