My name is Liliana, I am an artist and designer, born at the foot of Vesuvius volcano and raised in the luminous shadow of Mount Erice. My studies in theatre in Naples and performing arts in Rome taught me that beauty is not an ornament — it is a language, an act of truth.

A period in Berlin, within an international collective, introduced me to the idea of the total artist: a free identity, able to cross disciplines and transform them into expression. From that moment on, I explored singing, dance, craftsmanship, fashion, and design, following instinct as my only compass.

Back in Italy, I produced performances and music while creating hats and sketches. Then, in 2012, a journey toward Paris paused in London: I was modelling for a shoot by jeweller Jocelyn Burton. There, I met Gaetano Chiavetta, a goldsmith at Bentley & Skinner. The light of the jewels surrounding me and his authentic passion for the craft changed my path. I stayed a few days longer. Twelve years later, London is still my home.

Together, we founded two small jewellery ventures, and from this journey EveAndTheSnake was born: my creative universe, my declaration of love for metamorphosis, freedom, and inner strength.

EveAndTheSnake is the woman who cannot be defined. She is the woman who transforms, who rises, who renews herself. She is the woman who listens to her instinct and honours it. She is the woman who chooses with courage, who loves without losing herself, who lives without asking permission.

EveAndTheSnake is her new skin.
