So colorful!

I really enjoy the geometric forms and minimal compositions of these paintings by Katia Borges. Every work is a stunning colors and textures celebration too.

Minimal style!

I just love the creations by the Greek designer Olga, full of bright color combinations, simple and chic. Her necklaces are made by polymer clay, in addition she uses other materials as cotton, leather, wood and paint.

The minimal final result is stunning and I couldn’t resist, so I bought a necklace for me! As you can see from the pictures above, I received a nice packaging and a perfect necklace. You can find her on Etsy, the shop is called Floti.

Super cute design!

The balanced minimal style is totally unique, I love the way she creates simple but eye catchy compositions. You can find her shop on Etsy, you can also follow her “work in progress” projects on her Instagram account.
