Rike Bartels
Rike Bartels was born in Munich. After graduating from high school, she went to Spain and in 1989, during her one-year studies at the Escola Massana in Barcelona, made her first experiences with the goldsmith’s art. One year later she first attended the goldsmith school in Pforzheim and following the University of Design and Applied Arts, FHG, in Pforzheim studying industrial design. In 1993 she give up study to move to Manfred Bischoff in Tuscany. She lived and worked with him in San Casciano dei Bagni for over ten years. There she is surrounded by the important things of her live: art, Etruscans, cats, dogs and the vast landscape around Monte Amiata, which is always reflected in her work. For Rike Bartels, gold becomes the most important material during this period, and it determines her works. Today she lives and works in Munich again – with husband and dog.
