Pavel Opočenský

The individual materials have their own language, and learning to understand it is a precondition for a successful solution and insight into all aspects that they offer.
Born 1954 in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
In my perception of an object – either jewelry or sculpture – there are three important principles. First of them is to change the well-established perception of matter through the technique of removing material to the limit of the force of cohesion. The second one is the utilization of different layers and their properties. The third fundamental principle with recycled pieces is to change their original purpose and put their fragments into a new possible use.
