Michael Becker
Michael Becker is a German jewellery artist renowned for his sculptural and architectonic designs that blend geometric precision with organic forms. Born in 1958 in Paderborn, Germany, Becker began his training as a gold and silversmith from 1975 to 1982. He then pursued studies in sculpture and precious metal design at the Fachhochschule Köln under Professor Skubic from 1982 to 1987.
Since 1988, Becker has operated his own studio in Munich, where he creates jewellery that often resembles miniature architectural landscapes. His work is characterized by severe, ascetic shapes, distinct lines, and a harmonious interplay of static and dynamic elements, exploring the tension between order and chaos.
Becker’s creations have been exhibited internationally, including at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. His pieces are also part of esteemed collections, such as the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
