Aria Aradia Nista
Blending ancient art and crafts with modern design is a hallmark of Atelier Ikigai.
Aria' s artwork combines her classical Florentine and Parisian background with new innovative technologies and her studies on Eastern aesthetics and philosophies.
With her work, she brings European design and techniques to a new level by embracing this awareness
of Japanese skills and 21st Century views.
The essentials of both worlds are combined to bring a unique take on art and design that results
in timeless art jewellery, canvas mixed media art and sculptures.
