About me
So, here we are, I’m Beatrice – Bea, if you prefer to make things simpler – and I hope you’ll have a good time here.
Me, in a nutshell? I love nature and animals; I like to walk in nature for hours, lose myself in the wild. I’m kind and friendly. I am into music and cinema: everything for me is Art. I pour my life and soul into creativity, at every opportunity I keep pushing my limits! For me every single moment is perfect for capturing inspiration; colours and shapes are my muses. I want to be 360-degree creative! But let me dig deeper, to tell you something more about myself. I want to start with my dreams…
-
To find somebody with who to share my emotions, my time and my doubts.
-
To give Life to my projects, to experiment and to think about how to create a better world
-
To build my place, like a creative house in the middle of nature, open to anyone who wants to dream
I reckon I’m a lucky woman because I realized a part of my dreams. I have a lot of special friends with whom every day I share my thoughts and feed my curiosity; they make me feel inspired. On my way I found a lot of people that gave me a chance to voice my ideas, with no limits. I’m working on my third dream… who knows!
My Vision
This all starts with my passion for art, creativity and doing things well
After ten years training as a wood restorer in a Florentine laboratory, decorator and illustrator, as well as in the field of contemporary art, I decided to put my skills at the service of those who can appreciate them. My goal is to warm your heart with my creativity, to value the place where you spend your time, where you share emotions and feelings. I want to help you to customize your home and events, make it an extension of yourself, ready to welcome, like a hug from the people you love. Cre.Art.S. offers this: care and attention to the world around you, in order to create new emotions and feelings, based on the exaltation of colours and shapes as an actual part of your life.
In this 22 years of experience I’ve met different artists and artisans, experimenting with different materials, techniques and thoughts. Little by little something has come up and I was feeling really close to the environment and pollution issue: after that I decided to change all my materials and techniques to organic and recyclable. Natural pigments combined with lime and oil paints, contemporary art made with recyclable materials and sustainable techniques. I have thus reached my mission: PROTECT NATURE AND ENDANGERED ANIMALS, giving life to works that talk about what we are losing, thus nourishing the memory and trying to sensitize people in order to save what is still possible. I’m a dreamer and I’m sure anything that you want can be achieved, WE SHOULD TRY TOGETHER.
