设计师简介
俄罗斯珠宝艺术家NikolaiBalabin，1955年出生于前苏联列宁格勒,现定居于芬兰拉彭兰塔。他的作品创作灵感来自生活中的观察和感受，有些是来自虚幻的无法触及的幻想与印象，Nikolai Balabin擅长金属工艺和石雕，他偏爱使用砂型铸造，他认为这就像生活——虽然不会永远如你所愿，但不会让人绝望，把握好转机，就会享受到不一样的精彩生命！
Nikolai Balabin的作品被世界众多公众机构收藏，其中包括：意大利The Cominelli基金会的当代首饰永久收藏；芬兰首饰艺术协会收藏的珠宝系列；芬兰Jyväskylä工艺美术馆；世界宝石展览协会，俄罗斯圣彼德堡；以及芬兰，丹麦，法国，荷兰，美国，以色列，俄罗斯等国的私人收藏。
Artist’s statement: Without the past there is no future.
