Hey, I’m really happy that you’re interested in visiting my website! I am Silvana and I live in Berlin. I would love to say that I am a very experienced watercolour artist, but unfortunately I cannot. My journey only started last year when I discovered loosely drawn floral watercolour art. It was the beginning of a big change and journey.

Watercolour art is so beautiful and impressive. But at the same time also very difficult, once it’s on the paper it’s there, every stroke has to be right. You can’t paint over or erase anything. Wow, what a challenge.
But when I saw this apparent ease with which floral artists conjure up flowers in a loose abstract way, I also felt the desire to experience this ease and looseness when painting the flowers myself. To get simply be loose and relaxed. The colour blurs in the water and allows spontaneous events on the paper. You can control it somehow, but in the beginning I just played with water and colour and saw what happened.

I think I generally wanted to feel a sense of looseness in my life and work again. Without pressure, without “what do I have to draw to please my customers” in the back of my mind. Ultimately, that was just pressure and pushed me to my limits. It restricted my creativity instead of developing it.

I think it all has to do with my personal development, of course. Now that I’m a bit over 40, I’ve experienced some things that have changed me. Some things make you a bit scared and sometimes freeze you up. But you grow with every task that life throws at you.

Design and art is my passion. I studied design, worked for several years in a design agency in Berlin and have been self-employed for over 10 years as a surface pattern designer and Embroidery file digitiser. And after all these wonderful years of creative work, I realised that I needed a change. An extremely important realisation and step in my personal and creative development.
I want to feel the tingling in my hands, get up early because I can’t wait to keep painting … and grow.

I love creating patterns and seeing them in a finished end product. I have designed patterns for children’s fashion in the textile sector. Many fabrics with my designs have been printed and sewn into self-made children’s fashion. So many beautiful things have been created and I am proud to be a part of this creative sewing world with my fabric designs. 


Now my daughter is getting older, the feeling for cute children’s drawings is no longer there. Rather the feeling of having stood still.

I want to continue as a surface pattern designer because there are so many opportunities to create beautiful designs in patterns and bring them into the world. There is so much more artistic life bubbling inside me that want to get out. In a new kind of motifs – floral art.

I`m in the phase of finding my style. I feel tendencies towards the kind of art that I really like, where my heart beats and that immediately appeals to me and also flows out of me, I think something is developing that I also feel inside.

I really like impressionist art. The pictures are so calming and beautiful.
And using flowers as a motif is also something gentle and beautiful. I want to depict something lovely. But the reality is more like a Jackson Pollock … The characteristic and expression of his paintings has fascinated me since my youth.
And that’s why I find the combination of the contrast between the delicate, beautiful flower motif and the gestural expressionist strokes totally interesting.

This is my little space to collect my works. For the first time I have the feeling that I fully identify with what I show – that I’m expressing myself. Not just offering work for sale because it’s my job and always having to think up great things to sell. That was sometimes so exhausting and I lost myself in it. I no longer recognised myself in my work. 

I want to feel passion and show my work that comes from my heart. 
I am grateful for every step I take with the help of experienced wonderful artists who share their experiences via tutorials, workshops or classes.

 I know that I still have a long way to go to be able to call myself a watercolour artist. Maybe that shouldn’t be my goal at all. At the moment it’s “just” enough for me that what I’m doing feels just right for me <3 And that alone is worth so much!

So, I look forward to you coming with me on my journey to discover the floral watercolor world.
