Dorothée Potocka

Dorothée Potocka’s creations are rich in symbolism and craftsmanship, reimagining the history of forms and techniques. Drawing from a vast iconographic repertoire, she designs jewelry that, without a hint of nostalgia, weaves together a narrative, rooted in distant origins. Influences range from Russian icons and Italian primitives to Renaissance painters, along with divine and mythological figures, particularly Venus as an archetype of femininity, and the queens of ancient Egypt. These fragments of collective memory find meaning and vitality in her work. The natural world profoundly inspires the artist.

By linking ancient techniques with contemporary artistry, Dorothée’s Murano glass, serves as a bridge between the past and the present, reminding us that craftsmanship is not only about creating objects, but also about connecting different eras and traditions. Each piece becomes a dialogue between old and new, a celebration of human creativity and resilience that transcends time.
