Ex voto DIY breast and a hand

The peony season has already started, which somehow aligns with the launch of this print I designed for @fabrique.official last summer in Lisbon.
While visiting the @fcgulbenkian museum, I came across a description mentioning that peonies are considered a symbol of good luck in Chinese culture — a detail that stayed with me. It’s also one of my most beloved flowers.
For this print, I used Japanese watercolours. I’m reposting a few images from their website — I really like how ethereal and dreamy it turned out.
Currently open to work and collaborations💫

The amethyst horse with silver details, has travelled from my hands to Greece and now to London @elizatamo.
It’s not the easiest moment to keep going, but I am.
A few amulets are available, and I’m open to personal requests.
Ring me — the song has been my ringtone for years now.

This print I created over twenty years ago has been resurfacing on my feed lately.
I was reminded a few days ago that Kate Moss danced in it in a video for Primal Scream — something I had almost forgotten.
More recently, the struggling @alexandermcqueen label revisted it, producing 'an imitation' for their Spring/Summer 2026 collection...
It’s strange to see it now considered “vintage” — especially as some pieces appeared at auction in 2020.
Over the past few years I’ve been moving towards jewellery, but I still work as a print designer and I’m open to new commissions.
If you know someone looking to elevate their motifs — not necessarily within fashion — feel free to put us in touch. Would be amazing!

Are you into dreamy, unusual minerals like me?
I’m sharing a few screenshots from the webinar dedicated to the exhibition in Paris organised by @lecolevancleefarpels — which translates to Dreams of the Stones: Poetry and Minerals of Roger Caillois.
The real curiosities are the so called ruin marbles — paesine in French or pietra paesina in Italian — which actually come from Tuscany. Can you see the grottoes, the towers of San Gimignano, and entire landscapes in the beige ones?
I’m almost certain you could find some at @bramanti.firenze here in Florence - stones for private contemplation and meditation.
My favourites were the polyhedral agates and the trapeze-shaped ones though: those come from Brasil.

December was by far the best month of 2025. A few pics to commemorate it + a few January pics to initiate a good 2026 😇

A magic day with @girolaminiatura @myzar_store. Thank you for bringing over the Christmas cheer from Rome to Florence. Michelangelo at Cappella di Principi, cacio pepe, Cracovian Nativity Scenes, Domenico di Ghirlandaio, a lot of laughs and much more.
