The quest for “intensity and enchantment” is one of Mirjam Hiller’s central themes. Some of her brooches look as if they were species of plants or organisms that have not been discovered yet. To craft her jewelry, she first saws a piece of sheet steel or brass by hand and then bends or folds it into the desired shape. For Hiller, limiting herself to only one single material is a challenge that at the same time inspires her. Her goal is to create pieces of jewelry which, when worn, exude a charming vividness. Mirjam Hiller has been honored with numerous awards and prizes, for example the Grassi Prize awarded by the Slavik Gallery and the Inhorgenta Europe Innovation Prize. Moreover, her pieces are exhibited in several museums and are highly sought after at art fairs.
