Giovanni Corvaja (b.1971, Padua, Italy) graduated from the Royal College of Art in London with a Master degree in the field of art jewellery. After his studies he returned to Padua where he pursued his artistic career in goldsmithing.
He has been exhibiting his work internationally since 1989 and presented his pieces in more than 150 solo and group exhibitions worldwide. He is renowned as the creator of the mythical Golden Fleece Collection, a series of five unique pieces made from hand-spun golden fur. The epical collection has been followed by the Golden Handkerchief, a piece made from hand-woven golden fabric. He has dedicated more than 20 years in developing and researching methods for making and using fine wires in jewellery.
