Yozi Prasnikar Emotion in motion


Mark Nicholl Firehorse Jewellery


Aurora Organic Forms My painting is fictional.


The main theme is figurative. I am focused on the female body, illustrating its inner energy.


To express this I use strong contrast, bright colours and freehand strokes.


My characters are touched by the spirit of sensuality.


The energy, release and satisfaction I feel while painting are my reward and motivation.


My fashion degree is clearly evident in my recent elongated figures.


In the future I want to combine figurative with abstract to create an unique style with a strong signature.


Yozi Prasnikar


I trained, initially, as a sculptor, specializing in cast bronze, then as a blacksmith and a medal minter but jewellery is an area of artistic metalwork where all techniques converge as the noble metals are uniquely responsive to the entire repertoire of working methods.


Within Jewellery making I explore my fascination with form, exploring many techniques and design styles and developing methods of ‘free forming’ metals, allowing them to interact with the forces of nature according to their properties, as modern painters ‘let paint be paint’.


My recent silver pendants capture elusive moments in the ever-changing forms of running fluids or billowing layers of soft semi-solids and are set with jewels, chosen according to the form and composition of each.


Each of these pieces arises from chaos and is truly unique. I hope you enjoy their


forms as much as I enjoy their formation. Mark Nicholl B.A(hons) Art and Social Context.
