ALL WORKS BY ALAN HAMLIKO ARE UNIQUE PIECES. – wether jewelry or object – Some are created as part of a loose series or collection, where certain forms, techniques, or materials may reappear. Still, each piece remains one of a kind – with its own presence, its own rhythm, and its own process.
Alan works by hand. His forms often emerge intuitively and in close relation to the body – not as repetition, but as variation. His aim is to let each object speak for itself.
At the core of his practice lies a deep interest in material and tactility: uneven surfaces, textures, punctures, perforations, droplets, patterns, irregular contours, rough edges – all of these create a tangible depth. For Alan, this tactile quality is not a byproduct, but the very essence of his work. The surface becomes a language, the form becomes a conversation.
In a world where much feels smooth, functional, and industrial, tactility allows for an immediate connection to an object. Through touch – sensing structure, weight, and temperature – a different kind of understanding emerges. For Alan, this physical encounter is key: it creates intimacy, authenticity, and appreciation. An object is not just seen – it is felt, and therefore remembered.
