About Patrik Kusek

"The beauty of a single leaf, the symmetry of a starfish, the structure of a sea horse, the beauty in nature never fails to provide infinite sources of inspiration." says Patrik. With silver being his primary medium Patrik shapes his designs with an eye towards fusing elements and textures from the natural world. "I enjoy exploring the answer to 'What would happen if...' What would happen if a sea urchin crossed with a daffodil?" or "What would happen if two twigs symbolizes friendship?" I incorporate into my designs the elements that speak a visual language; that explore the answers to these types of questions.
