During the period of higher education I improved myself also in UK, Birmingham University. After graduation I started work in O\u00dc Aurum as a goldsmith-designer. After a couple of years of practising and self-development I chose the career of a freelance artist.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have exposed my creation in exhibitions in Estonia and abroad, and received also several speciality awards.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I make jewellery for the wish to share my personal stories as well as for just experimentation and playing. I am interested in different materials and their usage possibilities. In earlier creation I was fascinated by the play with colours and textures, while now I have started to feel appeal towards more classical materials and techniques, which value is lasting in time and in longer perspective also more wearer-friendly. I appreciate technical completion of the works and clarity and purity in design.- In the book \u201cA-Gallery.

But in my eyes, Grete Annikve\u2019s creations are a kind of\u00a0<em>non grata\u00a0<\/em>jewellery. \u201cFrom another opera,\u201d as per the Estonian expression, non-pretentious. \u201cGrete\u201d was born from the situation that I was at home with a baby and wasn\u2019t able to get anywhere creatively. I still wanted to work on something and my hand demanded a job. I thought, \u201cAh, I\u2019ll make some little flowers.\u201d Grete Annikve (an anagram) is not a complete secret, but I don\u2019t explicitly \u201cadvertise\u201d her as myself. Even though she now even has her own Instagram account, and creatively is still active with intermittent success. Grete is good and easy to cooperate with, she doesn\u2019t overthink.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was interesting to hear from my colleague Keiu Koppel, that she did not previously know that Grete and I were one person. All the more humorous was thereby her telling me that while looking around the gallery she was wondering who was copying who. I myself have considered \u201cour\u201d handwriting to be very different, but the source of all inspiration must secretly reveal itself. A more attentive eye and spirit are able to perceive it.\u201d<span class=\"fontstyle0\"> \u2013 Katrin Veegen\u00a0at the A-Gallery exhibition\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/?p=3174\">MEMORY CARDS\u00a0<\/a>(2019)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32288,"template":"","class_list":["post-33595","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/33595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
