Felieke van der Leest Felieke van der Leest
Dutch artist living in Norway.
In 1986 she began training as a traditional goldsmith and in 1991 enrolled in the jewelry class at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Here she finds a way of creating her work that combines her childhood loves of knitting and crochet with the techniques of jewelry making, combining art and a sense of humor. She began her career as an artist in 1996 after graduating.
She was born near a zoo and grew up hearing elephants and giraffes being carried away by the bulldozers of her parents' company, and she incorporates figurines of her favorite animals into her work. Invent something. She orders figures from toy manufacturer catalogs, disassembles and welds them, dresses them in carefully woven knitwear, and combines them with jewels and parts skillfully made from silver and gold. We are making it into an art piece.
In her more than 20 years of activity, she has held numerous solo exhibitions at museums and received worldwide acclaim.
The unique animals have a sense of wearable art.
