Veronika Fabian is a British-Hungarian jewellery artist. She earned her BA in Jewellery Design from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London in 2018 and completed her MA at the Sandberg Instituut, Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in 2020. With a background of studies in social sciences and analysis, her series investigate the impact of contemporary capitalism on daily life and personal identity, both of which play a vital role in her work.

Fabian has received numerous awards including a Marzee Graduate prize, Cartier Scholarship, Swarovski ‘Power of Transformation’ prize and the MullenLowe NOVA, Unilever ‘Unstereotype’ Award. Her work has been exhibited internationally and can be found in collections such as the National Museum of Scotland, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim and the Museum of Applied Arts in Hungary.
