Dalia Katavic
"A world of creativity from a young age. With my children ā those were games without limits. Christmas cards, for 10 years of creativity we made our own Christmas game.
Christmas cards are a concrete project, Valentine's Day, Halloween, masquerades. For good or bad reasons ā our house has always been a creative workshop. I find the creative power that leads to new ideas literally in everything that surrounds me, primarily nature, and it has always been like that. I graduated in Agronomy, so I am also professionally connected to nature, but the path, here, led me to jewelry."
āWhen the heart is inspired, the brain works, the hands work even better. The coordination of these three forces gives rise to the fourth element ā āāskill. Skill makes us all the same.ā
