In silence you meet awareness.

With knowledge you’ll want silence.

Selvaggia Domitilla Biondi DeRossi  |  heartist

 

Domitilla is an artist of Harmony, guided by spiritual research. Her artistic journey began in 2013, alongside her practice of sound healing, through an innovative carving technique designed to explore Consciousness via active meditation. In 2016, she chose to leave behind a twentyfive‑year career as a digital/graphic designer to dedicate herself fully to the mathematical aesthetics of Harmony, seeking to translate the frequencies of sound, visually.

Her bas-reliefs are sculpted with a surgical blade only, in meditative state — each is unique and unrepeatable — to investigates the scientific meaning of Beauty (which is harmony made visible).
She mixes her family’s heritages into visual poetry made of paper, porcelain and embroidery.

 

In 2025 she has been recognized as Maestro Artigiano d’Eccellenza, winning the prize by LVMH group.

How harmonic frequencies influence the output

« As a sound healer and spiritual researcher, the relationship between lifestyle and environment is the research that I express through the medium of my Art, on matter, be it the material to be carved (paper and porcelain) or the human body (harmonic sessions). »
