Julian
Tiglat Curriculum Vitae
Julian Tiglat was born in the Ukraine in 1952, and immigrated
to Israel in 1957. After completed his military service,
he began studies of Jewelry design at the Bezalel Academy
of Art in Jerusalem, which he completed with honors.
He then continued as an apprentice in the well known
studio of Andrew Grima in London. At that time he exhibited
his work at the Electrum gallery and Argentum gallery
in London. Upon returning to Israel he set up his workshop
for the development of personal designs. Julian has
taught jewelry design and making in Haifa and in Tel
Aviv. His creativity is recognized throughout Israel.
Julian’s
work is on permanent display at the prestigious “Joya”
in Tel Aviv. His 22 karat jewelry collection is also
presented at the famous “Padani” and “Celius”.
The
vessels presented are a move towards unique sculpture
in the medium of 22 karat gold.
"I
have always been inspired by the Ancient Egyptians.
Over many years a mysterious and overwhelming attraction
drew me back, again and again, to the still, static
figures of the Ancient Egyptian statues, to the hieroglyphics
and the wall paintings.
Even as a young artist, my future was bound up in the
past, the cradle of civilization. There, in the ancient
tombs of Egypt, ! found my inspiration and ideal, which
I am constantly striving to attain and to perfect.
There are few artists today who can attain the extraordinary
artistic and technical skills of those ancient geniuses.
As ever I still passionately admire the simplicity and
perfection of their Art.
Two years ago a totally new development of ideas started
to surface in my work, in which the main emphasis was
on simplicity of form and clarity of line.
Thus was born my new collection of 22 carat Gold sculptured
Vessels inspired by the unique shapes of ancient ceremonial
flasks and ritual vessels.
I dedicate the collection as a homage and tribute to
the anonymous, highly skilled artists of the ancient
eras. Each vessel bears the imprint of my personal seal
and so, at last, I close the circle."
