ANNAMARIA ZANELLA
poetess of jewellery art
With indescribable grief we announce the sudden demise of the outstanding artist and our friend Annamaria Zanella, she had been closely connected to the Slavik Gallery for decades.
Her wonderful creativity, the fascinating choice of material and her preference for Giotto´s lapis lazuli blue are reflecting in her sculptural and three dimensional jewellery art works. She will live forever in her great works and in our hearts.
We will miss her shining, her bubbling energy, her breathtaking inner power and human kindness.
Our thoughts are with her beloved husband Renzo Pasquale and her family.

Ulrike Kleine-Behnke and Silke Trekel are connected and very close because of their education at Burg Giebichenstein at Halle/ Saale, a traditional highschool for applied arts where the artists of our Wiener Werkstätte also got their education – quality stays on!
The two of them follow different ways of design and choice of material. So we are looking forward to an exciting diversity of form, colour and materials – a wonderful MELANGE.

Spot on
Ed and Tomas Hoke – a frame of glass and steel
33 years ago the interior design of the Slavik Gallery was created by Edmund and Tomas Hoke. This architectonic masterpiece has brought us clients from all over the world. Its timeless design is really made for presenting the extraordinary pieces of art jewellery made by our artists.
With a lot of joy we present you a clip about the gallery from the documentary of the Austrian Television ORF “Denkende Hände. Die Kunst der Familie Hoke _ “Thinking hands. The arts of the Hoke family.”
