MADONNA BOTROS
" I have been drawn to colors, textures, and imagination since childhood. Art has always been my safe space — the language I use to express emotions and stories that words cannot fully capture.I work with clay and color to create wearable art, transforming ideas and dreams into pieces that feel alive. Every creation is a small universe shaped by symbolism, movement, and emotion, where storytelling and craftsmanship come together. Through my journey, I discovered that color is healing and sculpting is my way of sharing beauty, hope, and meaning. Each piece I make carries fragments of dreams inviting you to wear, carry, and feel art beyond the ordinary."

"I was born and raised in a family of artists and studied design after high school. What began in 2012 as a hobby creating dolls gradually grew into my work, evolving into handmade jewelry using flowers, beads, pearls, and stones.
Before the war, I lived and worked in Melitopol, Ukraine, where I had my own workshop. In 2022, my family and I were forced to leave our home, and today I continue to live and create in Ukraine, carrying my passion for handmade craft forward with resilience and purpose."

"I began this journey nine years ago, at a time when my son was just two months old. Knitting has always been close to my heart, and creating by hand allowed me to do what I love while supporting my family.
Over the years, this work has grown into something much bigger than I imagined. One of the greatest joys of my journey is building a team and creating job opportunities for many women. Through craft and collaboration, I believe in empowering women to grow, create, and support one another."
