"COR SALTUS"

Silviya, Italy


Nature, with its forms, cycles, and creatures, has always been the primary source for the creation of amulets, apotropaic symbols (aimed at warding off evil) and good luck charms. Humans have historically infused natural objects or representations of them with profound meanings for protection, strength, and a connection to the divine. 

"COR SALTUS" literally "in the heart of the forest” - it means immersing yourself completely in the wild soul of nature, in search of peace, inner answers, or fairytale adventures. Majestically crafted in ceramic, it is part of my bead collection “nature”.

La natura, con le sue forme, cicli e creature, è da sempre la fonte primaria per la creazione di amuleti e simboli apotropaici (atti a scacciare il male) e portafortuna. L'uomo ha storicamente infuso oggetti naturali o raffigurazioni di essi con significati profondi per protezione, forza e connessione con il divino. 

"COR SALTUS" letteralmente “nel cuore del bosco" significa immergersi totalmente nell'anima selvaggia della natura, alla ricerca di pace, risposte interiori o avventure fiabesche. Creata maestosamente in ceramica fa parte della mia collezione di perle chiamata "natura".


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.
