"SAKURA"

Silviya, Italy

Cherry blossoms, or sakura (桜), are a powerful Japanese symbol of ephemeral beauty, rebirth, and the transience of life. Their spectacular yet brief (7-10 days) blooms represent a metaphor for existence: precious, transitory, and to be lived to the fullest. 

In Japan, sakura is also a feminine name, while for samurai, it also symbolizes their qualities: honesty, courage, loyalty, and purity.

Contemplating the beauty of these delicate and beautiful flowers reminds us to appreciate every single moment of the fascinating mystery called life.

To you, "SAKURA" as a sign of wealth and good luck.

I fiori di ciliegio, o sakura (桜), sono un potente simbolo giapponese di bellezza effimera, rinascita e caducità della vita. La loro fioritura, spettacolare ma di breve durata (7-10 giorni), rappresenta la metafora dell'esistenza: preziosa, transitoria e da vivere pienamente. 

In Giappone sakura è anche un nome femminile, mentre per i samurai è anche simbolo delle loro qualità ovvero onestà, coraggio, lealtà e purezza. 

Contemplare la bellezza di questi fiori delicati e bellissimi ci ricorda di apprezzare ogni singolo istante del affascinante mistero chiamato vita.

A te "SAKURA" come segno di ricchezza e di buon auspicio.







The Designer

Silviya, Italy

I am passionate about the world of Art since the childhood, which gradually involved me and the artistic passion burned within me more and more I approached to understand its secrets and mysteries, as long as it has not become an integral part of my life.

I express this feeling through ballet, painting and poetry. I was about 4 years old when I started with my very first drawings. My initial "style" was black and white, pencil or charcoal on plain paper and then, later on, as I grew up, I moved onto canvas. So I took the courage to use colors too - pastels and for about 20 years now, I've been using acrylic paint and my style has become modern abstract. 

I often experiment and create, inventing personalized techniques such as painting with sugar, for example, which requires a specific handle to be able to fix it on the canvas.

I am passionate about painting and also about product design. I am also a Product and Lighting Designer specialized in bringing together a sensitive and creative passion to light, with the ability to create quickly innovated individual superb designs that are fully functional and practical. I am interested in create design that makes a difference, always remaining extremely flexible to the needs of individuals and communities on a large scale in an international and global aspect. I find inspiration from all sources in the full awareness that what I create can even change a person's inner experience for the better and I put all my love into the process of creation. People will remember how you make them feel. And I love make people feel special, important. 

I have participated and continue to participate in many international competitions where I am often awarded for my artistic works, which are highly appreciated by critics.
