FLORIAN MILKER
Florian Milker, 1984, Weimar, Germany. After training as a goldsmith and three years in employment, Milker began studying at the Burg Giebichenstein Halle Art Academy. After graduating in 2015, he was "Meisterstudent" of Prof. Daniel Kruger. Milker now lives and works in Leipzig.
Florian on his work:
In my work I try to elicit a symbolic character from the objects that surround me. There is a meaning in their source that refers to our needs. The objects of my inspirations are already jewelry before I transfer them to the body. The transformation, however, creates a new context that can be amusing but also questionable. Making jewelry is my search for the fragments of our lost naivety in the sandbox of life.
