Michaela Barochová is an artist jeweller based in London, born in the Czech Republic.
With printmaking as her background, she works on the edge of both, combining printmaking and goldsmithing techniques while currently expanding her skills in silversmithing. Metal is her main material, while wood, textile, and recycled plastic can also be seen in her artworks.
Creating by the grace and for the glory of God, her artworks are inspired by the human subconscious, nature, and faith.
She studied art and professional art techniques from an early age and naturally continued studying printmaking and graphic design at Václav Hollar College of Art in Prague, Czech Republic. She later earned a BA in the Metalmaking and Jewellery Department at the Faculty of Design and Art in Pilsen, Czech Republic. She sharpened her jewellery skills through a study internship at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, Israel, and later also at K2 Academy of Contemporary Jewellery in London, UK.
In 2022, she launched her jewellery brand, NUMINOUS.
Her gold and silver jewellery pieces carry a sense of awe, mystery, and the presence of the divine, created either as unique bespoke pieces or as collections with a narrative.
Since 2024, she has been part of Tower Collective, which she formed together with Karolina Brodnicka and Maria Stella Lydaki. They create annual immersive exhibitions in unique historic spaces, where their work enters into dialogue with the architecture and its layered histories. Inspired by the character of each building, they cultivate peaceful environments that encourage visitors to pause and reflect.
