ULRICH REITHOFER - he was born in Austria, but currently lives and works in Amsterdam. Jewellery maker. Graduated from Technical College for Civil Engineering (Linz, Austria), University of Applied Sciences Trier, Department Gemstone and Jewellery Design from Idar-Oberstein, Germany (prof. T. Smeets) and Institute of Sandberg, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (prof. M. Unger). He works  with metals and gemstones, but mostly takes his inspiration from more unusual materials like wood , bones or glass.

Jewellery is the most important medium for him, and his works are almost always associated in some way with sculpture. However unlike sculptures, jewellery is based on the body rather than on a static surface. The author treats it as a way of communication: as a dialog between the artist, his work and recipient. He believes that the jewellery generates strength and expression through the person who is wearing it. Although the works of Reithofer are not always suitable to be comfortably worn, he emphasizes this very important aspect of body-relation; their jewellery nature and tangibility are speaking of his admiration for humanity and beauty.

The artists took his part in many international symposia, jewellery workshops, published articles in catalogs for exhibitions and magazines for designing jewellery.
