Born in Riga, Latvia in 1975, Elizabete Ludviks developed her perception and love of art while growing up in a design community.
At the age of thirteen, her family moved to Canada where she began her arts education at arts high schools in Toronto and Ottawa. She graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in ceramics and jewellery in 1998. During her studies she began developing her style of portraying a precious lightness in her pieces made from weighty materials. She continues to experiment with contrasts in her designs, creating wearable 3D jewellery that strikes a balance between geometric and organic, fragile and strong, precious and non-precious, traditional and playful.
Elizabete’s pieces are enjoyed not only because they display her unique imagination but they also give the wearer the opportunity to use their imagination in wearing them. Ordinary stones cast in silver boxes are turned precious. Simple, linear three-dimensional cubes are strung into a playful necklace. All of Elizabete’s pieces are hand-made from sterling silver and are truly one of a kind works.
Today, Elizabete Ludviks lives in Toronto, Canada, but her cultural roots continue to influence her work. In addition to using organic themes, she often re-interprets traditional Baltic jewellery design elements in her lines.
