Elena Gorbunova’s artistic practice focusses on upcycling polypropylene and other plastics. With love and many hours of intensely working this material Elena transforms these used plastics bottles and bags into beautiful and super lightweight wearable art objects.

In her latest series “At the Cellular” Gorbunova explores the idea of identity on a microscopical level. This is shown both in the highly precise way of working as in the cell-like structure in which she composes her art jewellery.
The brooches, necklaces, rings and earrings on display all have wonderful patterns. Some pieces are decorated with beautiful gemstones. Glamour at various levels. Elena’s approach transforms ubiquitous plastic into beautiful pieces of art jewellery, each one worth wearing and cherishing.

Elena Gorbunova studied with Professor Theo Smeets at Hochschule Trier’s department of gemstone and jewelry design, in Idar-Oberstein, Germany. Her work can be found in many private collections and in the Dallas Museum of Art (USA), collection Deedie Potter Rose.

[Quote:] “We share the same biology”
Gordon Matthew Sumner
Living in a body means living through it. We all need to breathe, eat, sleep, create, love. Under the microscope, people look remarkably alike—at the cellular level. Yet those similarities don’t erase individuality. I want to explore that shared unity while also emphasising what makes each of us unique.

𝘾𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: Daniel Kruger, Untitled

Daniel Kruger is a multidisciplinary artist. He grew up in South Africa, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, and taught at the University of Art and Design at Burg Giebichenstein, in Halle, Germany. Kruger’s work really needs no explanation. His jewelry is powerful and sensual, and it captures the imagination. His art jewelry requires a wearer who is confident and self-assured. The bowl-shaped, reflective surface of this necklace catches the eye of everyone who passes by and turns their world upside down.

Mirror Mirror…
Beauty, refection, repetition, fashion, mimicking, perspectives, purity ... mirrors - symbols of vanity, narcissism, of pureness, introspection. The mirror, mirror on the wall told us that Snow White was the prettiest of them all. The mirror pool made Narcissus fall in love with his own image and turn into a flower. And Perseus’ mirroring shield was the trick for Medusa’s downfall. Mirrors and their reflections please us, frustrate us, draw us, haunt us, teach us and aid us. All artists at Galerie Door invite you to reflect on their work. Come take a look in the mirror at Galerie Door ... you are more than worth it …

The annual group exhibition is on display at Galerie Door until 16 April 2026
