I am a Hungarian jewellery artist.
I have lived and worked in Halle Saale in Germany since 2015.
My first name, Ildikó has two meanings: fighter and protector.
These two terms describe my character.
I am interested in the relationship between picture and object.
My jewellery pieces are contemporary amulets. They embody personal experiences, memories and stories. Contentwiese I process basic human feelings and needs which I know - for example fear, protection, security or freedom. These are brought into a symbolic language with special attention to the material, whereby they communicate and decorate at the same time.
