ANDREY BONDARENKO

Private Goldsmith · Sculptural Jewellery

Andrey Bondarenko is an artist who creates jewellery as miniature sculptures. Based in Vancouver, his practice is rooted in traditional goldsmithing and the discipline of hand fabrication.

A purist at heart, he works exclusively with natural, untreated gemstones and without the use of CAD or digital manufacturing. From concept to finished form - each piece is designed and illustrated, fabricated and finished entirely by hand, with an emphasis on precision and quality.

With an established artistic background, he pursued his technical foundation at Vancouver Community College’s Jewellery Art & Design program, followed by an apprenticeship under master goldsmith Dariusz Bebel, his former teacher, and years at the bench working for and alongside esteemed Vancouver jewellers.

Today, Bondarenko maintains a private studio practice while teaching at VCC’s Jewellery Art & Design program, continuing the craft through which he was trained.

He accepts a limited number of private commissions by appointment.
