A multi-talented and expressive artist, Silviya Georgieva – Sellvida, brings her rich cultural and practical experience to the London art scene.

Silviya was trained and educated in Sofia, Bulgaria where she mastered textile and graphic design at the country’s most prominent art and design universities. An artist himself, Silviya’s father nurtured her artistic side from an early age and raised her in a highly creative and inquisitive environment.

Silviya’s passion lays in making multi-media collages – piecing together memories and extracts of her experiences on a canvas of colours, textures and shapes. Silviya collects mental and visual excerpts that she then puts together in a puzzle that reflects her perception of the world. Silviya views our beloved city London through her positive and curious eyes – the power stations of Battersea, sunset in Fulham, a stranger’s demeanour.

Silviya is equally intrigued by the man-made and the natural – from seascapes to still life settings and Parisian rooftops, her pieces are guaranteed to leave a lasting impression with the viewer.

Sellvida is a sensitive and very conscious artist, reflecting her own experiences and observations as a woman and a mother. She is very conscious of the impact of living in a fast-paced technology world and feels that she is a contemporary representative of the new urban society, again, portraying this in her work.

Over the past few years, her works have been exhibited in a number of galleries, primarily in London. Sellvida’s work is now present across Europe as well as in the US, Canada and Australia.

A multi-faceted creative, Sellvida is always exploring ways for creative self-expression. Alongside a long and fulfilling journey in art and design, she recently launched her own contemporary porcelain jewellery line – MIS LAB_LONDON. Sellvida has an extensive experience in ceramics and is now applying this knowledge to her contemporary line.

Silviya Georgieva is a representative of the young generation of artists, who reflect today’s culture in their art, teaching us valuable lessons in beauty and sensuality with every piece they create.
