My name is Sylvia, I am a french-colombian artist and designer, living in Palma de Mallorca.
I have been a maker and a weaver since my childhood with a pronounced artistic vein, but I also have a mathematical, rational brain, with a taste for observation of our modes de vie. This led me to focus my career on Design and later in Art direction for the creative industries, fashion, and luxury sectors; a trade I have performed for 15+ years between Bogotá, Barcelona and Paris.
I have been a founder {Warmi} an Artist {Moiras} and a creative consultant for all kinds of brands from niche beauty Loto del Sur, to massive ones Nike or Louis Vuitton. This wide range of experiences have given me a deep knowledge of the market and the ability to understand first-hand the challenges facing a founder or any creative; and the importance of connecting with the deepest self to create value based on uniqueness and personality.
This I how I decided to found supersstudio, a creative office to accompany soulful brands and individuals in their creative journey, and also a laboratory to edit and create experimental projects in the continuation of what has always been the quest on my practice: to awaken sensibility and emotion towards materiality.

things that drive me
A fresh take on the world
I am cheerfully curious about the world, always keeping a bright eye on culture shifts and the way in which they shape our “modes de vie”. Looking at philosophy, traditional practices, new expressions in art & pop culture, poetry, essays, cinema, astrology, the weather, the stars! Going all-out to decode the whispers of our time.
Celebrating a material world
How we relate with material culture, how we come to bestow value on things; how beauty and emotion contribute to building a more conscious and sustainable world.
Honoring time
Time to make room for thought, for planning and accomplishment. Time to establish broad and lasting relationships with my clients, my collaborators and my lab projects; to provide the steady guidance that things need in order to thrive in the long run. I believe good things take time.
Making things
I celebrate the process of making; I enjoy experimentation, allowing accidents to light up new paths and being hands on across all our projects. I love to infuse my work with the breath of my atelier in Mallorca, brimming with colours, threads, smells, samples, books, paintings and inspiring thoughts… that allow me to cultivate a spirit of creative ebullience.

kind things they say about my work
“I’ve known Sylvia since her first entrepreneurial adventure. And together we have collaborated both on our respective projects and accompanying other minds from the creative industries. She knows perfectly how to capture the essence of talents and brands, and build unique languages. She is one of those rare professionals who knows how to understand the image globally. Diverse. Sensitive. Without losing sight of business and societal issues.”
—Astan Konaté, business direction & creative vision consultant
“Working with Sylvia is always a pleasure for her graphic eye, her knowledge of digital mechanisms and her agility. She is a talented and fresh artistic director who always poses an identity that is both accurate and renewed whether it be fashion or lifestyle brands. We have also collaborated to develop strategies for social networks on which she brings a specific visual know-how but also a real knowledge of new technical tools, which she uses in a relevant way. Sylvia also cultivates a strong culture of new influential artistic currents, which is very valuable for our trend forecasting office. And regardless of the complexity of the project, our interactions are always easy and pleasant”

Her way on how she goes about topics & views, opens new ways, thoughts and spaces. Her hands on approach translates the existing to new appearances accompanied with finely designed visuals with a clear vision - this is a unique and truly inspiring combination. In addition to the workshop I appreciated to connect with her beautiful network during our personal branding workshop in Mallorca.”.
