The interest in art was stronger and the piano was forgotten, now I\u2019m missing it.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My teacher and supervisor of the diploma project in SAIE was Salme Raunam. With her firm support I learned early to appreciate strong sense of style characteristic to a creator. \u201cStyle is remaining yourself,\u201d said the famous fashion designer Oscar de la Renta. I believe in it. In jewellery I appreciate genuineness, I\u2019m not interested in artificial and false.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love traditional jewellery materials and characteristic colour shades of metals \u2013 the technique with beautiful and romantic name\u00a0<em>marriage of metals<\/em>\u00a0is my steady favourite. I feel myself rather a jewellery designer than a jewellery artist, my works are intended for specific type of wearer \u2013 independent and self-confident woman.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I work in the jewellery studio of Katariina Guild \u2013 an open studio. I am a member of the Artists\u2019 Association, founder member of the artists\u2019 group ON-grupp and also a member of the Jewellery Artists\u2019 Association.- In the book \u201cA-Gallery. Estonian art jewellery gallery for 20 years\u201d (2014)<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn jewellery as well as in life, I\u2019ve always appreciated individuality and a clear minimalism.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I discovered \u2018Marriage of Metals\u2019 about 25 years ago as I soldered metals into patterns in which, after polishing, they presented their many hues. So my first collection for an ON-grupp exhibition came into being. I stayed true to the technique and honed it into something of a personal handwriting.&#13;\nThe pieces have changed in shape and improved in level of craftsmanship, but the stripes have remained. I\u2019ve never been one for mirroring topics of the day in my work or attempting social critique. For me jewellery is an abstract art form that\u2019s inseparable from the wearer, endowing them with self-confidence and amplifying their unique self.\u201d \u2013 \u00dclle K\u00f5uts\u00a0<span class=\"fontstyle0\">at the A-Gallery exhibition <a href=\"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/?p=3174\">MEMORY CARDS\u00a0<\/a>(2019)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32808,"template":"","class_list":["post-33703","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/33703","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\/32808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
