Jewelery by Olga Kazakova
Uncommon contemporary jewelry & art objects from common / uncommon materials
I create series and collections to explore a theme and the properties of different materials.
About the series/collections
My name is Olga Kazakova, I am a professional artist who creates art jewelry and contemporary objects from common/uncommon materials and things (without restrictions), which vividly reflect the modern urban world. In my work, I combine modern materials with the infinitely beautiful shapes and textures of nature. I love exploring the concept of spiral forms, and creating new forms based on the spiral. That's why I named my brand Formeconcept. The whole creation process from the sketch to the final result for me is an endless creative game without beginning or end, just like the spiral itself with its transformations.
