Annika Ingelaere (Belgium) - Designer (Plus One Group Exhibition)

Brooch, enamel, copper, steel wire.

Annika Ingelaere (° 1971) has been fascinated since childhood by Applied Arts and in particular jewellery. First she studied graphic and advertising design at Sint-Lucas Ghent, later Jewellery Design at the Academy of Sint-Niklaas. This year she will get her Master degree in Jewellery Design, Gold- and Silversmithing. By continuing to train herself, her work is constantly evolving.

She loves creating but also passing on her knowledge. That is why she regularly exhibits her work and organizes workshops. For several years, she searched for a link between jewelry and graphic design and thanks to enamel, she found this link. She can paint with the powders, the colors, the transparencies with a technique she learned in Idar-Oberstein (Germany). In the beginning, she searched for the boundary between art and kitsch. By combining several materials (raw stones, wood, silver…), she retrieved the balance.
