Fanni Nagy - Hungary



bio:

I hold a Master’s degree in Jewelry Design and Metalworking from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, following a Bachelor’s degree specializing in metalworking and a vocational metaldesign certification. I attended masterclasses with Caroline Broadhead, Gesine Hackenberg, and Manuel Vilhena. My work has been exhibited internationally at prestigious events including Münich Jewelry Week (2023, 2025), the Jewelry and Freedom Challenge by Tincal Lab in Porto (2024), the Israel Biennale of Contemporary Jewelry (2024), the Hungarian National Museum’s “Shine!” exhibition (2024), and the 33rd International Jewellery Competition “WOW Effect!” in Legnica (2025). In 2024, I presented my first solo exhibition, How Was It? My Road to Being an Applied Artist, and participated in notable group shows such as InFlow and Design Without Borders, to mention some. I have been honored with awards including the Mydaybyday Gallery Award, Cluster Craft Fair Award, and the Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence.


statement:

My work plays with the quiet tension between wanting to be seen and needing to remain hidden. Like little drawings on foggy mirrors, moments appear and vanish, revealing hidden messages that linger just beyond clarity. Who hasn’t traced a finger across a steamy window—leaving a mark both playful and revealing, only to watch it fade? I’m drawn to these fleeting, childlike gestures—fragments of truth that surface briefly before disappearing. They speak to something deeper: our need to connect, express, and exist. My necklaces explore this phenomenon by reflecting the messages we tend to say to—or feel within—ourselves, capturing the delicate balance between vulnerability and protection, and the ongoing search to be understood while protecting our inner worlds.
