A mixed, multi media and three dimensional artist, Flavia’s signature pieces are made from coiled paper. She is a pioneer sustainable artists before these terms existed or became popular. Her work is mostly made with repurposed materials.

In her words: “I love the freedom of creating what I want from random objects. I am held to no parameters, I am sold to no particular media, I like them all and love to cross breed them. This allows me to create many fun pieces and allows me the ability to awe the viewer with a piece of disposed material that is turned into something so interesting when multiplied exponentially”.
