Eduard Nikitin was born in Chelyabinsk, where he graduated from the sculpture department of the Chelyabinsk Art College and worked for almost a decade at the Chelyabinsk Art Products Factory as the chief artist. Creative searches and the desire for constant development led him to an internship in Finland in the late nineties. There, Eduard Vitalievich worked for several years at the private enterprise “Rantanen’s Artistic Fund”, creating religious objects from silver. In recent years, he has been working with gold.
– Only this material allows revealing my intention, – says the master. – Jewelry is art! Creating them requires calmness, regularity. I do many of my works for a long time, with reflection, focusing on my taste, my idea.

Eduard Nikitin has received many awards at the most prestigious exhibitions, his works are kept in museum collections in Russia, Finland, the Czech Republic, Israel, as well as in private collections in these countries and in Belgium, Germany, the USA, Luxembourg.
