ABOUT

  • Denise Reytan is a Berlin-based artist. She’s been creating jewellery as well as installations and art objects for over 20 years.

  • Reytan´s work is an exploration in contrasts –
    between materials, values, colours and personal
    content. She is questioning conventional
    boundaries and is interested in resizing and the
    transformation of precious into non-precious and vice versa.
    But the question is also one about the ideal and
    intrinsic value of objects and their importance.

  • Reytan’s jewellery making is like material painting. She’s creating wearable collages in a very picturesque way by combining various materials in a wide range of colors: for instance, precious gemstones, textiles, silicone and her own casted plastic objects. Thereby, Reytan’s pieces become unique compositions that all have a story to tell. They become »poems on the body«.
