Peter Machata
Peter Machata is a Slovak jewellery artist known for his sculptural approach to contemporary jewellery. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava under Jozef Jankovič, he transitioned from traditional sculpture to jewellery, treating each piece as a miniature sculpture. His work combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, using CNC milling and digital scanning to challenge conventional jewellery design. Emphasising relief and form, Machata explores themes of identity, spirituality, and personal narratives, often incorporating religious iconography. Through his innovative practice, he redefines the relationship between jewellery, art, and personal expression.
