"CERBERUS"

Silviya, Italy

Mythological creatures are fantastic beings born from folklore and legends around the world to personify fears, feelings, or inexplicable phenomena. They include monsters, zoomorphic deities, and spirits, ranging from the dragon and the unicorn to complex figures such as Cerberus, Medusa, and the Krake. 

In ancient times, monsters often had a dual function: enemies who destroyed gods and heroes, or guardians endowed with superhuman strength to protect sacred places. 

The bead "CERBERUS" is a tribute to the famous dog (often depicted with three or fifty heads) that guards the underworld. It is endowed with superhuman strength. 


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

Le creature mitologiche sono esseri fantastici nati dal folklore e dalle leggende di tutto il mondo per personificare paure, sentimenti o fenomeni inspiegabili. Comprendono mostri, divinità zoomorfe e spiriti, che spaziano dal drago e l'unicorno a figure complesse come Cerbero, Medusa e il Krake. 

Nell'antichità, i mostri avevano spesso una doppia funzione: nemici distruttori di dèi ed eroi, o guardiani dotati di forza sovrumana a protezione di luoghi sacri. 

La perla "CERBERUS" è un omaggio al famoso cane (spesso disegnato a tre o cinquanta teste) che custodisce gli inferi. E dotato di una forza sovraumano. 

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.
