"Botanic jewelry"
My name is Viviana, I am a mother, I live in Brescia, a large city in northern Italy. When I was a child I loved drawing sheets full of butterflies or flowers. Then I played the violin at the conservatory for 4 years. I studied chemistry and biology and finally I graduated in architecture. The work that has chosen me is the restorer of works of art. From the first day I loved the smell of lime mixed with incense and the atmosphere that is created on site with the light of the spotlights ... My relationship with this art is of hate-love: the working conditions are physically heavy, uncomfortable positions to keep for hours, hot asphyxiating, unbearable cold. Not to mention the economic and contractual conditions that almost always border on exploitation. So I approached my experience as an artisan - designer of "creations for people". I try different techniques, resin, crochet, semi-precious stones and finally copper! I realize I adore him, to appreciate all his shades of color, the degree of brilliance, the infinite patinas he can take. I close the circle then looking again, as I did as a child, butterflies and flowers! I have a visceral passion for all types of mosses, lichens and ferns. Nature gives me the raw material, I let myself be inspired only by her, the rest comes after failed chemical experiments, welds and tests on evidence of ugliness to throw away. Despite my age registering to be close to half a century, I always feel at the beginning of new adventures. My sense of inadequacy hampers me a lot, but thanks to yoga and the beautiful people around me I do not give up, I want to turn into beautiful objects what passes in my hands! If you want to follow me in my path. I need encouragement and stories of beautiful people! Hari Om
