Tieke Scheerlinck graduated in 2021 in jewellery at St Lucas Antwerp School of Arts.
Before studying jewellery she took care of people one on one as an occupational therapist.
This personal approach continues in her artistic work. Major themes are made personal. Starting from encounters and interviews, she places seemingly small personal stories in a global context, making their importance undeniable. Her work is about connecting people and connecting with yourself.
Currently she’s exploring how jewellery can help it’s wearer to relax and heal the body.

“Het werk van Tieke Scheerlinck toont ons op een compromisloze manier hoe kostbaar het leven kan zijn. Haar werk houdt de samenleving een spiegel voor en spreekt zich kritisch uit over het migratiedebat. Een boot vol vluchtelingen, met de veelzeggende titel ‘precious people’.
Als Sint Lucas Antwerpen zetten we ons in voor een warme en inclusieve school en stimuleren we onze studenten om te connecteren met de maatschappij op kritische en artistieke wijze. Dit afstudeerwerk brengt al deze aspecten op een sterke, beeldende en poëtische wijze samen.“

Thank you for your interest in my work — I hope you enjoy my site and the work that I’m doing.
As I work on difficult themes such as trauma and human rights, I’m always interested in connecting with people who have other experiences in life than the ones I’ve had.
Get in touch.
