the Filigree

Martin Obakke & Celena Cavala met eachother in Florence, Italy in 1999 while Martin, originally from Denmark was studying Art and Celena, from Nashville, was a Ballet dancer. They shortly after started making Fairy Tales and haven't stopped since! Their dolls & stories are in private collections throughout the World and their exhibitions have spanned 2 continents. After living many years in Europe they recently moved to the States and currently reside on an old town square where they are self-representing artists. Martin does the illustrating and sculptures while Celena writes the world they live in, in their Fairy Tale Newspaper, the Filigree. They are inspired by the Invisible world and Imagination and the points in between that they refer to as 'the Filigree'; thin, gossamer strands that connect everything. They hope to bring Inspiration to you and your Life!
