More About Astrid
In the depths of an enchanting tale, where the echoes of Armenian and French heritage intertwined, a peculiar soul was born. Nurtured in the embrace of orthodox religious upbringing, Astrid's formative years were filled with the rituals and traditions that shaped her spiritual foundation. Yet, as she grew, her path diverged from the confines of organized religion, and her heart found solace in a deeper, more personal connection to the people and the world around her. This seeker of beauty found inspiration amidst the grandeur of sacred spaces, in the ornate embellishments that adorned churches, and the ethereal iconography that whispered secrets of divine mysteries.
Astrid, a name that resonates with celestial origins, was destined to manifest a cosmic connection through her artistry. As she embarked on her educational journey, she delved deeper into the realms of creative expression. With a devotion to her craft, she immersed herself in the study of fine arts, honing her skills and cultivating a profound understanding of the intricate language of artistic creation. In the
hallowed halls of knowledge, she discovered a reverence for the architectural marvels that spanned centuries, and the Arts and Crafts movement that celebrated the union of art and craftsmanship. The allure of Art Deco's sleek geometry, aroque's opulent drama, Rococo's delicate extravagance, and Gothic's soaring arches all danced within her dreams.
For a few years, Astrid nurtured the souls of young minds as a teacher, imparting the sacred knowledge of poetry and the mystic of creative writing. Yet, within the depths of her being, a longing stirred—an insatiable desire to bring her own poetic visions to life, to transform language into tangible expressions of love and devotion.
It was in 2008, as a mere hobby, that Astrid birthed her eponymous brand. Each creation bore the imprint of her evolving artistic journey, a fusion of punkish rebelliousness heart and delicate femininity. But as her passion deepened and craftsmanship flourished, a gravitational pull towards more symbolically filled, emotionally fuelled pieces started to emerge.
With each passing year, Astrid's dedication to reinvention grew, blending traditional and modern techniques to weave a tapestry of wearable poetry. Each piece, an embroidered verse upon her heart, held a story, a poem waiting to be whispered into the ears of the worthy.
Astrid's passion for the darkness is an enigma, contrasting with her outwardly bubbly nature. She holds a fascination for the delicate balance between life and death, gloom and light. Her heart beat with a profound love for taxidermy, finding beauty in the preservation of nature's ephemeral forms. The juxtaposition of the deceased and the living, the macabre and the enchanting, all blended within her creative visions.
It is this paradoxical harmony that infuses her creations, lending them a captivating allure. Noble silver intertwine with ethereal gemstones, creating an interplay of shadows andluminescence. Each piece reflects the intricate dance between the beauty of life and the elegance of mortality.
