Silk Bloom Fashion Accessory

The driving force behind Cherinadded is the innovative combination of three distinct materials to craft something unique, something that embodies both functionality and movement. Our designs consistently feature the circular shape as the key design element, an homage to the timeless and universal symbol of unity and wholeness.

One of our standout designs, Silk Bloom, draws inspiration from the pioneering concepts of Vladimir Tatlin. Known as the inventor of the collage technique in fine arts, Tatlin was an artist unafraid of charting new territories. Despite facing opposition, he firmly held on to his conviction that art should not be a mere act of plagiarism, but rather, it should incessantly seek new shapes, new expressions. He had a daring vision to liberate art from the constraints of wall-mounted canvases, bringing it into the dynamic space of the viewer.

Tatlin experimented with a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and glass, and conceived the idea of art as something "hanging" – a notion that naturally leads to the concept of "dynamism." His audacious approach resonated with me profoundly, and I sought to embody his philosophy in my work.

The Silk Bloom brooch is a direct tribute to Tatlin's vision. Its design breaks away from traditional conventions, as if the brooch is defying gravity, floating in mid-air. This is art that is not merely to be observed but interacted with, it "hangs for movement." By blending three types of materials, we've imbued the Silk Bloom brooch with a distinctive identity that tells a story—a story of innovation, audacity, and meticulous craftsmanship. It's a testament to the ethos of Cherinadded: We're not just creating accessories; we're bringing to life new chapters in the evolving narrative of art and design.

My primary aim is to redefine art—to make it accessible, comprehensible, and affordable, a daily source of inspiration for everyone. I admit, there are artworks, especially some paintings, that are challenging to grasp. Their complexity often hinders the inspirational connection that should exist between the art and the observer.

My studies in fine arts opened my eyes to certain preconceptions that I found too restrictive. I recall a professor once saying, "if it's too perfect, it's not art." But who gets to define these boundaries? In my view, both perfection and imperfection can birth art, as long as the "object" stirs the audience, provoking thought or emotion, it's art.

I dream of a world where the realms of art and design converge, which led me to the concept of intensively studying and blending three types of materials. There's a certain allure inherent in each material, and I believe the techniques used in fine arts can be adapted innovatively in applied arts. It would be unfortunate if these techniques, often viewed as esoteric, were used in ways that most people couldn’t appreciate.

So, I selected three well-known materials, and I applied my fine art skills to them. The result? The materials, under my guidance, naturally reveal their perfection and imperfection, creating unique pieces that are both art and design. It’s my way of pushing boundaries and making art a more inclusive, engaging, and inspiring experience for all.

Looking ahead, I envision Cherinadded flourishing and establishing a strong foothold in Europe. We aim to showcase our handcrafted jewelry and accessories on an international platform, reaching audiences who can truly appreciate the dedication and heart that goes into each piece. Winning this award has not only validated my work but also fuelled my drive to push further. It's a constant reminder that my efforts have not been in vain.

Therefore, positioning my creations, and indeed myself, in the right places at the right time and before the right audience is crucial. My hope is that we'll soon have the opportunity to sell our products overseas, allowing our brand to reach new heights and, in turn, let more people experience the blend of art and design that Cherinadded embodies.
