A short introduction to Yohari

October 10, 2021

Yohari is a mix of media and materials, of idea’s and inspiration, of crafts and skills that mingle into an artistic adventure, which outcomes fill this website.

MIXED MEDIA

Mixed media art

Some of the creations of Yohari can best be described as mixed media. A traditional work of art usually is made from a single medium like oil paint or watercolour for a painting, or limestone for a sculpture. In a mixed media artwork you will find many different materials. Those can be virgin, but reused materials can add an extra sustainable, or even traditional dimension to creations. The variety in structures and elements in mixed media is part of its attraction and charm. You can discover that in the mirrors, bottles and boxes by Yohari.

NATURAL DESIGN

What natural design is all about

Design has many forms and shapes. What they have in common is a purposeful creation of products. Unlike art, which is mostly about free expression of emotions or idea’s, design usually follows a set of rules. Where does that put natural design? At Yohari, we look at natural design as a creative process of crafting that leads to beautiful items of jewelry and mixed media. That process is inspired by nature and the materials and shapes it offers. It grows freely in interaction with the environment, but not random.

JEWELRY

Jewelry is precious by nature

Jewelry goes back a long time in history. In fact, it is among the oldest artefacts found in archaeological sites. Since the very beginning of the history of man special objects, metals and stones were used to express beauty, or to underline a special status. In modern times, jewelry has mostly a decorative function and is often subject to fashion. The design of Yohari handmade jewelry is inspired by natural shapes and materials, and by cultural roots.
