In various periods I have been interested in various techniques, there is no fixed favourite. I have designed souvenirs, completed works ordered by private persons and institutions, and sometimes participated in exhibitions in Estonia and abroad.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am inspired by nature with its structures and forms. I like fine graphical patterns, which I oppose in my works to large empty surfaces. Sometimes I become fond of architecture, its volumes and proportions. I have been fascinated by the forged items of the Old Town \u2013 vanes, wall anchors. These motives have found way also into my jewellery.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes jewellery is like a process, constantly changing and developing in the course of its completion. Therefore it may happen that the original idea is lost in the process. I try to make jewellery that make the wearer happy. As simple as that.- In the book \u201cA-Gallery.

They could be fleeting, cognitive impressions or moods, but also forms which speak to me. Sawed patterns and ornaments repeat rhythmically in their logical regularity. Sometimes I create orderly systems from these patterns, and at other times, disorder and chaos. It\u2019s like a game with patterns, which I enjoy. On occasion, this results in a piece of jewellery. For me, the most meaningful jewellery is that which I\u2019ve made very personally for someone; perhaps they\u2019ve been created for someone very special to me. This gives it meaning.\u201d \u2013 Margus T\u00e4nav at the A-Gallery exhibition <a href=\"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/?p=3174\">MEMORY CARDS\u00a0<\/a>(2019)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":33104,"template":"","class_list":["post-33643","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/33643","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\/33104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
