Artists, Claudia and Sergio Olivos Present Their Namaste Collection to Welcome the Spirit of Zen Into Your Life

Washington DC, November 4, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​​​Artists Claudia and Sergio Olivos have been hard at work creating a special collection of ARTwear based on the meaning of the word Namaste- "I honor the Divine spirit within you."

This Internationally renowned artist couple are inspired by native cultures, nature and our spiritual evolution. The Namaste Collection is a focused four-part series that has the artists exploring the teachings of the Buddha and the symbolism of the Sacred Lotus.

There is a Hindu story about two gods, one lesser, one higher. The higher god greets the lesser god with "Namaste" and says, "Although you are my slave, I greet you as such because our souls are equal." The impetus behind our upcoming Namaste Collection is an honor to our journeys of personal evolution through mindfulness and gratitude. Especially for me, it is about forgiveness and letting go… we are all one and there is a place where we dwell together in understanding, peace and love and in One. I further acknowledge the struggles within these journeys as represented in the mantra that I fell in love with and soon adopted for the collection: "No Mud, No Lotus." ~Claudia Olivos

Namaste is the acknowledgement of the Divine within all of us. It is a salutation that means that “the spirit within me, welcomes and honors the spirit within you”- it recognizes that we are all Divine and unique beings.

It is the hope of Claudia and Sergio that this Namaste ARTwear collection be not only an adornment, but that it also be a tool for you to reflect on your spiritual connectedness to the Sacred Divine as you move through your day, being reminded of the qualities that you seek in life and that influence the choices you make and things you do.

The Namaste Collection has been broken into four parts with four separate releases. Products range from hand-painted leather handbags to darling little onesies for your little laughing Buddha. There is something for everyone in this collection and any of these pieces large or small would make for an excellent gift this holiday season.

The Namaste Collection opens with Claudia’s Boddhisattva’s Petals, a collection of genuine leather handbags embellished by the artist, each hand-painted creation inspired by the Buddha . Using an inspired color palette that is soothing and exhilarating in the same breath, she has taken what many consider commonplace items and transformed them into divine pieces of wearable art, or: “ARTwear”—the term Claudia coined for their OlivosARTstudio accessory and clothing with art ARTwear line, launched Summer 2015. These handbags are their most luxurious ARTwear items offered to date—uniquely yours, celebrating the beautiful meaning of the word Namaste: I bow to "the divine" in you.

We then move unto the “Mantra Necklace Collection” by Sergio Olivos- these are Chakra Healing Crystal/Stone Necklaces each featuring mini archival reproductions of Claudia’s Namaste paintings encased in a glass pendant, delicately hand wrapped by Sergio in sterling silver and suspended from a Mala-inspired design of Healing Crystal Stones. These gorgeous healing stone mini painting necklaces are a unique and lovely statement piece with highly energized stones inspired aesthetically by the gorgeous meditative Mala/Rosary , they can be used for meditation and to inspire calm and peace. An unusual and beautiful necklace to showcase and empower your inner and outer beauty!

If that’s not enough delight for one holiday season, then OlivosARTstudio has two more collections coming to you just in time for gift-giving and to treat yourself too!

No Mud, No Lotus is a collection which showcases another collaboration between Claudia and Sergio, as she has created ink drawings of the Buddha, and Sergio has perfected them in photoshop for his silks screening skills! There are also color full hot pressed t-shirts and bags, mini art pendant necklaces, and canvas reproductions that make ideal gifts for all the Namaste lovers in your life.

Claudia and Sergio have not forgotten about the littlest laughing Buddha in the family with their Little Buddha collection. This charming collection of Buddha themed onesies and gift sets will help spread the spirit of the laughing Buddha all around as smiles are sure to flow!

These will make wonderful gifts to celebrate baby’s first Christmas as well as excellent stocking stuffers for a mother to be.
