AYSA ANNA

Contemporary Jewelry

Aysa Posthuma has been working as a professional goldsmith since 2018. Having completed her studies in Art History, she decided to attend the Goldsmith Academy in Schoonhoven. Jewelry has been her childhood passion and ultimately became her canvas. After primarily working on commissioned projects, she felt the urge to express herself differently. She visited Alchimia - Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence, focusing on autonomous work. Growing up as the daughter of an artist nourished her curiosity for using ready-made and alternative materials. By intertwining her upbringing, academic background, and craftsmanship, she creates (un)wearable art. Her goal is to make artifacts that are visually pleasing, surprising viewers, and technically well-executed. The cacti and mushrooms series stems from a fascination with nature's diverse array of solutions to thrive in various environments. The designs aim to capture the essence of the world around us and reinterpret it in a timeless and modern way.
