"TOSTY"

Silviya, Italy

Mythological animals are fascinating for their role as bridges between the natural and divine worlds, embodying virtues, vices, or uncontrollable forces of humanity and the universe. These creatures, interwoven with narrative and folklore, testify to humanity's profound connection and fascination with the animal world, elevating it to a universal symbol.

"TOSTY" is part of the bead collection we dedicated to the allure of mythological creatures.

Gli animali della mitologia affascinano per il loro ruolo di ponti tra il mondo naturale e quello divino, incarnando virtù, vizi o forze incontrollabili dell'uomo e dell'universo. Queste creature, tra narrazione e folklore, testimoniano il profondo legame e la fascinazione dell'uomo verso il mondo animale, elevandolo a simbolo universale.

"TOSTY" fa parte della collezione di perle che abbiamo voluto dedicare al fascino delle creature mitologiche.

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.
