Julian Yehuda TIGLAT – At heaven’s gate

Description

Julian TIGLAT was born in Ukraine in 1952 and immigrated with his family to Israel in 1957. Studied jewelry design at the Bezalel Academy, which he completed with honors. Then he continued as an apprentice in the well-known studio of Andrew Grima in London; at that time, he exhibited his work at the Electrum and Argentum galleries in London. Upon returning to Israel, he settled and set his workshop in Ein -Hod village of artists to develop his personal designs. Julian has taught jewelry in Tel-Aviv and Haifa; his creativity and style are well recognized throughout Israel. While living in Israel, his 22k collection was on permanent display at the best shops in Israel. Since 2006 Julian is living in Costa Rica and continues what he started in Israel: the shift to art.

“I must admit that I have very little inspiration in modern art; I have much more in the ancient world. I found after many years as a jewelry designer that I cannot express myself enough, yet I love the work with precious metals and stone; it was a long journey since I am not a natural painter, but the desire drove me to find my way of expression, just as I did in jewelry. These works are what I think and what I feel, using and applying the techniques and skills that I did in jewelry making.”
