Fell in love with a piece, but it’s not available?
Or maybe you simply love the style, energy or flow of a design and want a version tailored to your space.
I’d be happy to design something in a similar spirit — using natural shells and organic patterns that are always uniquely shaped by the sea.
Let’s create a custom artwork that feels like you.
Let’s turn that feeling into something real!

Art is always personal, it touches you or it doesn’t, you like it or you don’t, you feel something or you feel nothing.And luckily we all have different taste.
With this piece I instantly felt it, whether it’s flowers or butterflies, you have my attention, and when it is made of natural material coming from the ocean I also love so much,we have a soul MATCH.

FAQs
-
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted using sustainably sourced shells, emphasizing organic flow and contemporary design. No two shells or designs are alike, making every artwork a one-of-a-kind statement piece.
-
I work with shells as they are, embracing their natural variations. Imperfections, cracks, and textures make each shell unique and add character to my work.
I do not paint them and I use a glossy varnish at the end to enchance only their natural colors and to protect the work.
-
I carefully select and clean each shell and I use high-quality adhesives (from which I created my own formula ) and reinforcement techniques to ensure durability. Each artwork is designed for long-term indoor display, preserving the integrity of the shells.
-
Dust gently with a soft, dry brush ( an old make-up brush for blush) or microfiber cloth. Do not use water or cleaning products.
A hairdryer, on cool temperature setting works as well.
If your piece includes a frame, keep it tightly closed and dry.
Feel free to contact me for questions or maintenance tips. Your artwork is a lasting connection to nature and with proper care, it will remain timeless.
-
Lighting changes everything. Natural light brings out the soft details and textures, while artificial light can create shadows that add depth and contrast. My pieces adapt to their surroundings.
-
Seashell art integrates seamlessly into contemporary, modern chic coastal and minimalist interiors, while also complementing the intricate elegance of Rococo and the eclectic richness of Bohemian styles.
Celebrated for their organic forms and natural materials, these pieces serve not only as striking focal points but also as refined accents that elevate and enrich any sophisticated space.
Ideal for discerning interior designers and fine art collectors seeking timeless artistry with a connection to nature.
-
Absolutely! I love working with designers to create bespoke pieces that complement interior spaces. Galleries interested in showcasing my work are also welcome to reach out.
