What started with a fond memory of childhood objects like plastic toys and irresistible curiosity about the immersive world of the internet, was reflected in Hansel’s graduation collection ‘Dirt Container.’ Since then, his distinct artistic style has sharpened even further and has materialised through a number of iconic collections like ‘Jade Pierced,’ ‘Baroque Pearl Pierced,’ and ‘Neo-Genesis.’ We are talking to Hansel at a pivotal moment in his career, as he decided to devote himself to his jewellery practice full time, dividing it between his commercial and artistic practice, while figuring out the rhythm and nuances of both.
