"I don't really aim for the moon or the stars, I prefer to be able to enjoy watching the moon and the stars, everyday. I neither see the need to conquer, nor to tame anything other than myself and my very own thoughts. I see more of the need to appreciate things the way they are, and to live without leaving too much foot prints on earth. To be able to enjoy watching the moon and the stars, you are required to have the time, peaceful heart, and a calm mind. Otherwise, you will get carried away with your train of thoughts and memories, instead of enjoying the sky. I don't have anything in life that I want so badly that it will make my whole day or my life feels amazing. I do have a content life everyday that I am happy to live and repeat everyday till the day I die." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artwo...

"Should I be remembered, I want it to happen through my creations. That people remember of what I have created, have done and have given back to life, more than they remember of who I am. I want every memory of me evokes certain feeling on them. Something that feels familiar and natural, but a bit impossible to be put into words. Something that makes them remember of who they were. Should I be remembered, I want it to happen at a calm night with no star in the sky. The kind of night when people fall asleep earlier and forget the world for once." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following  my Instagram .

"We laugh and we fight, and it will always goes that way, over and over again, until we asked ourselves, what's the point of all these things? And one day we just stop somehow. Either we accept it, or we simply understand, that we love each other too much. And we ask ourselves, does that make the pain acceptable?" --- "You do know the difference between a fight because people hate each other and a fight because they love each other?" --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following  my Instagram .

Cloisonné, which taken from French word cloison; meaning to separate, is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork object with colored material held in place or separated by thin metal strips or wire, normally in gold color. The thin metal wire will first be shaped to follow the outline of the drawing to create separations on the surface work area, which then later will be filled with crushed semi precious stones, or enamel, before being kiln-fired for several times to create the evenly colored and decorated artworks. Cloisonné technique is still being used largely these days, not only for metal works and done with enamel, but also for other kind of artworks using resin, acrylic colors, and many more. Cloisonné beads are one of my favorite items on jewelry, it somehow brings memories of my childhood. My mom and the elderly would have some jewelries made of these Cloisonné beads during special occasion. I also love the history of it, the amount of patience and hardwork given to crea...

To me, a little imperfection is what makes everything perfect. And it goes for everything in my life, including on my artworks. I always love a little imperfection on my stones, or the irregular shape of my works, or on a little imbalance on the structures. Those feel like little surprises that makes the artworks alive and have their very own characters. Like their histories, before they came into my life. It goes the same with colors, too. I always have a surprise hint of colors on my works. Color combinations that work like signature style of mine. It's true that energy is transferable, and that in everything that we do, we invest our energy on it. Those imperfections are also the result of the energy that being invested into them. Whenever I run my fingers through a stone and found a crack or a fine line, I would rub it and think, “What have you gone through before you meet me? What cracked you but didn't destroy you? What a strong stone you are.” And that's how I am bei...

It is always interesting to find how people mostly will be divided into two groups of the hardcore-believers VS non-believers, whenever we talked about natural stones as healing crystals that have different healing properties. I am actually in the middle. I believe on the healing properties, firstly because I can sense them. The other reason was simply because I believe in the nature and I know that the nature has energy, vibrations, and frequencies on every element of it. In today's world, most of us have already known that everything in life is vibrations (as Einstein once said cmiiww). Or the fact that everything is energy based and energy couldn't be created or be diminished, only could be transformed. Or the fact that atoms are in a constant state of motions and depending on the speed of these atoms, things are appear as solid, liquid, or gas. Or the fact that almost everything in the universe resonances at different frequencies. To me, this is where the healing properties...
