The seventh jewellery collection by TOSKA, titled TRAHIMORY, is also the first collaborative one—where artistic director Anna Ziemniak invited artist Mikołaj Moskal to join the creative process.
In her search for inspiration, Ziemniak began to analyze ancient jewellery as well as the works of Alexander Calder, Harry Bertoia, and other artists whose designs involved cutting shapes out of metal sheets. During conversations with Mikołaj, she connected his primary medium—collage, made by cutting elements from hand-dyed paper—with these same ideas. She asked him to prepare shapes cut from paper, which were then digitized and translated into silver sheet forms. The scale and final purpose of these elements she kept for herself, adding her own signature motifs sculpted in wax and later cast in silver.
The resulting collection is a dialogue between sharp, flat silhouettes and rounded, organic, fluid forms. Some pieces resemble mobiles, hanging delicately from the ears or neck. From Mikołaj’s flat shapes, Anna also chose a few to wrap into rings and bracelets. The elements she added herself are always smaller and more discreet—almost hidden—serving to support and balance the main motifs of the collection.
Trahimory is a proper name — an invented word that does not exist in either Polish or English as an independent, commonly used term. It is a distorted form of another, similarly sounding word or a blend of words such as trajectory, territory, or chimera.
Mikołaj Moskal is visual artist, creator of drawings and installations, he studied graphic arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków and at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Frankfurt/Offenbach am Main. He primarily creates tempera paintings on paper, focusing on the process of gathering information and inspiration, which allows him to construct contemplative, harmonious worlds. He pays particular attention to the properties of the materials he uses, as well as to sensory and emotional experiences. His synthetic figures and forms, while reflecting reality, are ideograms of emotion — abstract creations on the border of imagination, suspended in a transcultural, historical void.
Please note that this piece is made to order. All pieces are handcrafted by Anna Ziemniak together with the Todoro and fresar.pych teams. The production time is 15 working days, delivery time depends on the country.
