German jewelry artist Jil Koehn takes inspiration from Surrealism and nature to create pieces that bridge the tension between art and design. Her designs are an homage to nature and an appeal to dreaming. Using natural materials like bark, branches, and stones in combination with precious metals and artificial materials, she makes works that have an earthly and at the same time supernatural appearance, creating a high contrast between reality and imagination. Her jewelry acts as artifacts of distant worlds, a means of communication between the artist and the world, dream and reality, wearer and viewer.
