"My work is a fusion of my fascination with natural patterns and geometric form. Growing up in Iceland, a place of great natural beauty, I was surrounded by natural motifs and organic designs that continue to shape my creations. The contrasting elements of warm and cold, imagination and order, inspire me to create jewellery that is both wearable and can function as stand alone art.”
Anna Maria Pitt was born and raised in Reykjavik, Iceland. After relocating to the UK with her family, she studied Silversmithing and Jewellery Design at the Bucks New University, where she graduated with honours. Her jewellery embodies the opposing elements of experimentation and order, where she mainly employs cold connection techniques to handcraft each individual piece. Anna Maria’s work has been displayed internationally in private and group exhibitions alike. In 2017 she was awarded the ‘Artistar Design Prize’ for her necklace ‘Backbone’ and in 2019, she was selected as an artist-in-residence at the Icelandic Museum of Design and Arts. Alongside her practice, she taught creative jewellery design at the Technical College of Iceland. Anna Maria lives and works in Antwerp, where she is currently undertaking an MA in Jewellery Design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
