My name is Ismael Conde Ruiz, I am a silversmith and designer. In my work I tackle the human desire for quality, beauty and grace in everyday things. My formal idiom focuses on the essence of things and by a reduction of form epitomises dynamism and peace. I was inspired to work creatively at the Staatliche Zeichenakademie Hanau, where besides my training as a silversmith I also trained and qualified as a state certified designer and master craftsman. I have been self-employed since 2011.
