Peter Machata

Artist Statement 

Peter Machata is a Slovak Jewelry artist known for his sculptural approach to contemporary jewelry . Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava under Jozef Jankovič, he transitioned from traditional sculpture to jewelry, treating each piece as a miniature sculpture.

His work combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, using CNC milling and digital scanning to challenge conventional jewelry  design.

Emphasising relief and form, Machata explores themes of identity, spirituality, and personal narratives, often incorporating religious iconography.
