Based in Dresden, Silvi is an artist and art and brand designer whose work lives at the intersection of creativity, identity, and self-expression. Drawing on a background in corporate innovation and business development, she has co-founded several ventures, including Hookie, Miakone Coffee, and miinuc, an art and retreat space devoted to creative practice as a path of personal exploration.
In her miinuc workshops, Silvi uses self-portrait as a powerful artistic tool to help participants strengthen their voice, presence, and self-confidence. Rather than focusing on technical drawing skills, her sessions invite a deeper kind of clarity: how we see ourselves, how we express ourselves, and what emerges when we create with honesty. Her two-part practice, Self Portrait as Refusal — NOT YOUR MUSE and NO ROLE — encourages participants to question expectations, release fixed roles, and allow a more authentic expression to come forward.
