About

Annika Leistikow is a German fine artist and goldsmith.
Born in 1989 she grew up in the fading spirit of the 80s which is still connected with a lot of impacts to her art. Since childhood she was always engaged in creative activities. As a teenager she drew, made her own cloth and jewelry and in 2011 during her Interior Design studies which she graduated with Dipl.-Ing. (FH), she started selling her first jewelry on her shop called Paranoia mit Sahne. The jewelry was mostly made out of Polymer Clay and was kind of creepy and kind of sweet. After a few years working as an Interior Designer in the private sector she decided to follow her passion for jewelry and started her studies at the renowed goldsmith school Staatliche Zeichenakademie in Hanau, Germany. When she graduated as a goldsmith in 2019 it was also the beginning of her independent work as a goldsmith.
She launched her new jewelry brand Mountain Moth Jewelry where she sell handmade fine jewelry. Besides this she is also doing graphic designs and she made corporate designs for different companies. In the beginning of 2022 she decided to work more in a artistic way with her jewelry and she wants to sell her drawings and arts on this website soon.

"I always struggled with myself with the fact doing so many things at the same time, because I thought I will never be good enough at one thing. But I noticed that I need all this different things to be creative, to be who I am, to be happy. I am the sum of all my creations. I am all these things."
