Dörte, founder of ComCeito, found her jewellery calling in Portugal, influenced by the cultural diversity of Lisbon, the Azores, and Germany. The discovery of an ancient glass bead in Évora inspired her artistic approach, leading to the founding of ComCeito in 2009, which is now preparing to embark on a new chapter in Minho.

Dorte’s glass jewellery stands out for its symbols of faith and hope. These creations echo a deep sense of solidarity and comfort, capturing the essence of isolation times and the universality of human support. Each piece acts as a tangible reminder that we are not alone, anchoring the promise that things will improve.

Creations with glass from Lauscha and Murano display intense colors, meticulously mixed. Dörte has crafted her mathematical game, reflecting on the long human tradition of play and fun — elements deeply woven into our culture — while exploring the connection between ‘jocale’, Latin for ‘game’, and the essence of the word jewellery.

In the “Singulares” exhibition, Dörte shows that each piece of jewellery is more than just an object of beauty but a bearer of meaning and a celebration of the art of jewellery, blending tradition and innovation. Her work fosters an ongoing dialogue between the past and the present, aligning with the exhibition’s theme of uniqueness in expression through jewellery.
