Since the 1960s, Elisabeth Defner has been one of Austria’s most prominent jewelry artists. Nowadays her works are displayed in museums in e.g. Vienna, Graz, Pforzheim, Cologne, Prague and London. Defner sees jewelry not merely as an aesthetic matter, but also as a form of complementary healthcare for body, soul and spirit. The energy radiated from the metals and stones is in holistic harmony with the forms of the jewelry and can bring about an inner transformation of the wearer. <\/p>\n
Brooches, earrings, rings or pendants are combined with moulded plant leaves, so that the beauty of the jewelry can merge symbolically with the magical effect of the plant. Her understanding of art is reflected in a famous remark by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer: ‘Truly art is firmly fixed in Nature. He who can extract her thence, he alone has her’.<\/p>\n
