Geraldina Khatchikian
Geraldina Khatchikian is an Italian abstract painter and jewelry designer renowned for her innovative fusion of art and craftsmanship. Currently based in London, she has built a distinct career by merging the worlds of contemporary art and jewelry design in a highly personal and transformative way.
Khatchikian began her artistic journey in 2017 with specialized courses at the European Institute of Design (IED) in Milan, focusing on jewelry design and metal coloring techniques. In 2018, she further refined her painting practice through a course at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in New York, gaining a deep understanding of the business side of art and career development.
Raised in a family of jewelers, Geraldina’s heritage profoundly influences her work. She blends intricate craftsmanship with vibrant abstract expression, reflecting her commitment to the interplay of art, materiality, and symbolism. Her works have garnered international acclaim, with features in prestigious publications such as The World of Interiors, Create! Magazine, New Visionary Magazine, and Art Seen Magazine.
This year marks a significant milestone in her career: the fifth consecutive year that she has presented a new collection of paintings and jewelry at Giulio Veronesi Gioielli, an esteemed jewelry boutique in Bologna, Italy, during the renowned international art fair ArteFiera. This solo exhibition has become a key annual event, attracting art enthusiasts and collectors alike. The most recent exhibition, Full Circle, is currently on view until the end of February 2025, presenting 20 circular abstract paintings, two new jewelry pieces, and her first installation.
Full Circle also represents the evolution of Khatchikian's artistic practice. For the first time, she has integrated new elements into her works, including aluminum butterflies, a powerful symbol of transformation and rebirth. This marks a further development in her exploration of materials and the conceptual depth of her work. The introduction of these butterflies into her art reflects her ongoing exploration of themes such as personal growth, cyclical patterns, and emotional connections, transforming her work into a unique dialogue between art, craft, and personal symbolism.
Khatchikian's work continues to captivate collectors, art enthusiasts, and those seeking deeper, emotional connections through her art.
“As an abstract painter and jewelry designer, my work is a continuous exploration of transformation, connection, and the passage of time. Through vibrant colors, intricate textures, and symbolic elements, I seek to capture the delicate balance between chaos and order, resilience and surrender, movement and stillness.
My creative process is deeply personal, reflecting both the seen and unseen forces that shape us. Circular canvases symbolize cycles of growth and renewal, while metal elements—woven wires and engraved details—add a tactile dimension, bridging painting and sculpture. My first installation, made entirely of hand-woven aluminum wires, extends this exploration into space, embodying the tension between fragility and strength.
Jewelry is a natural extension of my artistic language. Each piece, from sculptural earrings to symbolic rings and necklaces, tells a story of transformation and belonging. My latest collection, Full Circle, continues this dialogue, introducing new materials and forms that reflect my evolving vision.
Through my work, I invite the viewer into a space of introspection and self-discovery—a reminder that we, too, are always in motion, shaped by change, yet deeply connected to the rhythms of life.”
