Judit Patkos
Judit Patkos is a Hungarian-born, UK-based jewellery designer and maker. Having studied enamelling and jewellery making in Budapest and London, she has developed her distinctive creative voice through self-directed exploration and years of hands-on practice.
Working primarily in silver and enamel, Judit's contemporary jewellery is characterised by clean geometric forms, expressive surface textures, and carefully considered colour accents. Her work is inspired by the visual language of abstract art, drawing influence from painting, photography, and architecture, with a particular interest in composition and the interplay between colour and monochrome.
Her Splash! Collection showcases an instinctive enamelling process developed through experimentation. Layers of enamel form the foundation before liquid enamel is introduced in spontaneous, painterly gestures, creating expressive patterns shaped by the interaction of material, heat, and timing. Small areas of colour are added instinctively during the making process, emerging as intuitive responses to each composition rather than predetermined design elements. These vibrant accents animate the predominantly black and white surfaces, creating a dynamic play of contrast that brings rhythm, balance, and visual tension to every piece. Each enamel surface evolves intuitively, making every work entirely unique. The finished enamel artworks either stand alone as small, self-contained pieces or are incorporated into Judit's contemporary silver jewellery designs, where clean geometric forms frame and complement their expressive surfaces.
