Hannie Goldgewicht
Hannie Goldgewicht grew up surrounded by natural beauty, nestled in the mountains of Costa Rica. Since childhood, her fascination with all forms of art has led her to explore every creative medium. The artist's passion for color, design, and nature has all come together with this line of simple clean forms that have the rustic feel of the earth combined with the repetitive texture of pine needles.
Each piece is first hand-thrown on a potter's wheel, then trimmed, fired, and finished with painting techniques and patinas. Then, the artist starts the weaving around the rim. The pine needles are hand-picked and cleaned, and woven with wax thread using the coil method.
Hannie Goldgewicht graduated with honors from the School of Fine Arts at the Universidad de Costa Rica, with an emphasis in sculpture. She then traveled through Europe, the Middle East, and Central and South America, observing and being influenced by different cultures. It was on a trip to Argentina that the artist first came across pine needle basketry and began learning the technique from master fiber artist Delfa Deriu. The artist currently lives in Los Angeles, where she continues to learn and experiment.
Customer Reviews
"Diffraction" is beautiful and perfect for its location in our home. The instructions for installation are clear and we had no issues hanging it. We are delighted with our new artwork.
REALLY NICE PIECE
We love the piece it ties many colors and tones in our room together.
I recently received this piece of artwork. It came packaged perfectly with very simple instructions for hanging it. It is a little challenging to get up on the wall straight because of the awkwardness of holding it and the organic nature of the copper pieces but the end result is magical. I bought it for my new home, which has a gallery style entry, and it looks perfect in the space. It is also across the hall from my study and I can't stop staring at it. I have had great success with everything I have purchased from Artful Home.
The artwork is beautiful and very high-quality.
The colors are deep, bold, and vibrant and express a radiant sense of pure joy and whimsy.
When I placed the artwork on my wall the colors really popped, and it looks very beautiful and
contemporary in my space. Diffraction brings a happy feeling and a smile to my face every time I see it!!
