Introducing Our New Donne D’Arte Collection
When I was envisaging this collection in my mind, I thought of the feminine, of women and of artists. From this, I created 6 new colours; tonally of the same strength, they are very complementary and work well when grouped together. They are calm, fresh, and serene, and they remind me of colours used in Renaissance art with a softer, feminine twist. Art has always been a point of inspiration and influence for me. Impressionism, Minimalism and Futurism styles have been a constant, but the period that touches me the most is the Renaissance. It’s the beginning of everything; a…

And here we are in April, already. One of the most beautiful months of the year, when nature really starts blooming and the colours are a great inspiration.
