I am Johann Nikadimus,
a Russian designer and embroidery artist working with historical techniques of pearl and gold embroidery. My studio is based in Serbia.
Since 2015, I have been exploring the possibilities of traditional craftsmanship in contemporary design. Working with pearls, metal threads, and other materials, I create headdresses, tiaras, and jewellery. In my work, historical forms and ornamental motifs become the foundation for new, original interpretations.
My work has been presented at a Cartier exhibition in St. Petersburg. I am featured in the Homo Faber Guide by the Michelangelo Foundation and have participated in XTANT in Palma de Mallorca.
