SAMALIANTE

‘Originally from Bulgaria and based in Amsterdam for the past eight years, Samaliante is a multidisciplinary artist and storyteller whose work moves through painting, sculpture, and cooking each a reflection of her deep passion for beauty, connection, and transformation.

Her paintings express emotion through color and movement, capturing the hidden poetry of everyday life. Alongside her partner, she creates hand-sculpted clay lighters intimate works of art that unite functionality and imagination. Each lighter is entirely handmade, shaped and finished with care, inspired by the people who order them and by spontaneous bursts of creativity. No two pieces are ever alike; each sculpture is a one-of-a-kind embodiment of light, warmth, and individuality.

For her, creation is a way of living a continuous journey through color, clay, and flavor. Every piece she makes becomes a vessel of light and emotion, inviting others to see the magic that exists in the everyday.’’
