My aims

• Creating working places for people in Moldova.• Developing the floral arts & design at a higher level. • Opening the School of Modern Floral Design in Moldova

supported by international, european organizations.• Cultural enriching of moldovan people by learning floral art

skills, participating in artistic events.• Creating and strenghtening united cultural community

(Moldova-EU).• As a result – cultural and economical integration of

moldovan people in european community.

Successes • Established contacts with famous european and

international floral designers and their schools (California Flower Art Academy Mr. Ken Hirano, FLORINT Mr. Mark Ward, Judith Blacklock, Boerma Instituut in Netherlands, Heather Congreve, Zen Flowers Tokyo)• Numerous of exclusive art-works bought by the people in

Moldova and other countries.• Membership in Handicraftsmen Union Of Moldova.• Collaboration with IWCM (charity events), MOLDEXPO

(exhibitions), the largest city mall, hotels, shops, mobile operators, banks, embassies, wine companies.

Challenges

• The development is complicated by economic instability in Moldova

• International organizations should be more active in supporting arts & design in Moldova

• Public administration should support actively the creative industry in Moldova.

Since we began

• The amount of clients and sales increases

• The art-works are more qualitative • Moldovan people became more

demanding• We have learned the people’s

preferences in art-works (style, palette, forms, etc.)

• We know that ideal way in our activity is to run both floral design shop and school

• “Floral arts & design” became a well-known phrase

Our plans

• Real support from the international cultural association - in starting floral arts and design school of Moldova.

• Floral Arts festival of Moldova.

• Association of moldovan floral designers in collaboration with european and international ones.

Thank you for your attention!

Hope you will be passionate about floral design too…
