NATAŠA DRUŠKOVIČ
Designer biography:
After completing her studies in painting, she worked as a draughtswoman of archaeological objects, which led her to become interested in jewelry making. In recent years, her artistic practice has been dedicated to the design and creation of unique, one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces. Her work is driven by an ongoing exploration of form, material, and spatial relationships, guided by a personal vision of beauty and contemporary artistic expression. Clean geometric structures and organic forms serve as the conceptual foundation of her work.Positioned between wearable object and small-scale sculpture, her jewellery transcends conventional notions of adornment. Through an experimental approach to materials, she frequently combines metal with a diverse range of other elements, allowing greater freedom in the processes of research, construction, and artistic articulation. Texture, balance, and spatial tension play a central role in shaping each piece.Her work invites the viewer to reconsider jewellery not only as an accessory, but as an autonomous artistic object — a tactile and visual experience that occupies the space between body, sculpture, and contemporary art.
Collection concept
Rings from the Cuperra collection combine copper and clay, two seemingly different materials. Soft, rounded forms combine metal elements embedded in the clay surface. In this dialogue between shine and soft lustre, and between metal weight and clay sensitivity, a harmonious relationship of two substances is created, which complement and visually balancing each other.
