Elva Blau

Elva Blau (born 1994) is a self-taught silversmith, jewelry artist, and anthropologist who works and lives between Germany and Austria. Inspired by organic structures, her work explores the contrast between flowing and clear forms. Her background in cultural and social anthropology significantly influences her work and is reflected in her view of jewelry as multidimensional artifacts. Thus, she moves between artistic craftsmanship and a reflexive engagement with objects and their meaning.
