Connecting worlds

  • • Nenad produces jewellery based on ecological principles
  • • Jewellery helps him to understand how personality is linked to the environment
  • • He strives to emphasise interconnections between the body and outer space

Nenad Roban graduated in jewellery design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. At the beginning of the 1990s, he founded his own jewellery workshop, working in various materials. He teaches Jewellery design, Body and Space Objects, and Design: History and Modernity at the Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka, Croatia. In his artistic statement, Nenad says “The causal and ensuing link between art, nature and society in jewellery media is realised in a very direct way. One of the prerequisites is the production of artistic jewellery according to an ecologically based concept. I believe that, given the relationship with nature, society is in the adjustment period to many of the visible changes that we feel directly and almost daily on the body."
