"NEMEAN LION"

Silviya, Italy

The Nemean Lion was a monstrous beast in Greek mythology, the son of Typhon and Echidna (or the dog Orthrus), renowned for its impenetrable skin by any weapon. It was raised by the goddess Hera.

It represents the supreme challenge against arrogance and internal conditioning. Its impenetrable skin symbolizes human difficulties that cannot be overcome with conventional methods, but only through direct confrontation.

The myth also serves as a pillar of heroic courage, celebrating man's ability to overcome challenges deemed impossible, and the "NEMEAN LION" bead is a tribute to it. 


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

Il Leone di Nemea era una mostruosa belva della mitologia greca, figlio di Tifone ed Echidna (o del cane Ortro), famoso per la sua pelle impenetrabile a qualsiasi arma.  Era stato allevato dalla dea Era. 

Rappresenta la sfida suprema contro l'arroganza e i condizionamenti interiori. La sua pelle impenetrabile simboleggia le difficoltà umane che non possono essere vinte con metodi convenzionali, ma solo con il confronto diretto. 

Il mito si colloca anche come un pilastro del coraggio eroico, celebrando la capacità dell'uomo di superare sfide ritenute impossibili e la perla "NEMEAN LION" è in suo omaggio.

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.
