"OCTO"

Silviya, Italy

In Greek literature, the octopus is often associated with the sphere of metis, or wisdom, and this is no coincidence, as the octopus's primary quality is its intelligence. In mythology, folklore, and symbolism, this fascinating marine creature has been described as a wise, protective, or even divine creature.

In Mediterranean symbolism, the octopus is seen as a marine animal of great charm and strength. In Japan, giving a gift of octopus jewelry is a good-luck gesture, especially for those facing challenges, exams, or new life paths, symbolizing support and good luck.

Our "OCTO" has a deeply captivating design, made of glass. 


...........................

Nella letteratura greca troviamo spesso il polpo associato alla sfera della metis, cioè della saggezza e non per caso, poichè la principale qualità del polpo è la sua intelligenza. Nella mitologia, nel folclore e nel simbolismo questo affscinante essere marino è stato descritto come creatura saggia, protettiva o addirittura divina. 

Il polpo è visto nella simbologia mediterranea come un animale marino di grande fascino e forza. In Giappone regalare un gioiello con polipetto è un gesto beneaugurante, specialmente per chi affronta sfide, esami o nuovi percorsi di vita, simboleggiando il sostegno e la buona sorte.

La nostra "OCTO" ha un disegno profondamente affascinante, fatta di vetro. 

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.
