Katja Micus

Katja Micus, born in Stuttgart in 1956, is a goldsmith and curator. She trained as a goldsmith in Neugablonz and later studied at the Academy in Hamburg. Since 1985, she has worked independently from her own studio on Ibiza.

Her work combines traditional goldsmithing with an open and experimental approach to materials. Alongside precious stones, she incorporates found objects from nature and everyday life into her jewelry. Her wide-ranging craftsmanship extends from delicate early works to bold, sculptural rings and lightweight acrylic pieces set with precious metals.

In 2000, following the death of her father, artist Eduard Micus, she took over the direction of Espacio Micus on Ibiza, the exhibition space he founded. Since then, she has continued to run it as an independent space for contemporary art alongside her own artistic practice.
