Yu-Chi Chien

Growing up in Taiwan with jeweler parents, he was encouraged to develop his own interests in art from early childhood. As an undergraduate, he studied industrial design which improved his ability in many aspects. Influenced by his design background, he strives for distinctive characteristics and a practical spirit in his work. He draws inspiration from every story he encounters and the minor details of life around him. He enjoys combining different materials and explores many different possibilities in his work. He expresses his ideas not only in jewelry forms but also in sculptures and more daily objects and tries to not limit himself.
