Shatush

"Shatush" - a Persian word meaning "Pleasure of Kings" -

Inspirational drive...

"The world we live in today expects very little in terms of quality.

Disposable consumption fuels the world's economies."

My work aims to find recognition for the value of "unique" handmade

objects that, eventually, last longer for the pleasure and benefit of our

senses, as well as the promotion of individual creativity leading to the

development of new original styles and techniques.

Fuel for thought

"The world we live in today expects very little in terms of quality. Disposable consumption fuels the world's economies."

My work aims to find recognition for the value of "unique" handmade objects that, eventually, last longer for the pleasure and benefit of our senses, as well as the promotion of individual creativity leading to the development of new original styles and techniques.

In addition, this kind of activity can also be an effective stress management aid, as it allows for a balanced and harmonious personal development to take place.

This can act as powerful creative outlet, simultaneously leading us to an exploratory self-discovery process, leveraging our imagination, making art a key part of our lives.
