NATALI AREFIEVA & ANASTASIA MATHIOTTE

“CODE&CRAFT” - ENCODED BODIES
2025

 

Natali Arefieva (b. 1979, Russia) is a contemporary artist and fashion photographer based in Marbella, Spain. She studied at the Belarusian State Technological University in Minsk and later graduated from the Moscow Academy of Photography. While beginning with classical photography, she has expanded her practice to encompass digital art, animation, and immersive installations.

Arefieva’s work bridges traditional craftsmanship and technological innovation, incorporating metallic foil, mixed media, and 3D-printed objects. She also creates jewelry and accessories in which gold and light serve as metaphors for transformation and awakening.

She is the creator of Light Inside, part of the 4Dverse ecosystem, which merges art, technology, and multisensory experiences. Recent projects, such as Remelting Reality, explore perception and the porous boundaries between physical and virtual realities.

Through her reflective sculptural forms, Arefieva invites audiences to encounter inner landscapes of consciousness. Exhibiting internationally, she positions her practice at the intersection of art, fashion, and technology, producing works that range from wearable objects to immersive VR/AR environments.

My work begins with light. For me, it is more than a physical element—it is an energy that mirrors transformation and consciousness. Gold, central to my practice, becomes a metaphor for inner radiance and the alchemy of change.

I move fluidly between material and digital realms, creating 3D-printed objects, sculptural forms, and wearable accessories that extend into both jewelry and architecture. These pieces function as luminous extensions of the body and space, conceived not as mere ornaments but as activators of perception. Their reflective surfaces channel invisible energies, inviting viewers to encounter their own inner landscapes.

Many of my works incorporate digital layers—VR, AR, and NFTs—expanding their presence into immersive, multisensory environments. Each object, whether worn or experienced in space, is envisioned as a portal: a threshold where matter, light, and consciousness converge.

Through this practice, I aim to awaken awareness, offering art as a living code through which reality reveals itself as fluid, transformative, and deeply interconnected.

My work begins with light — as matter and as energy, reflecting transformation and consciousness.

Anastasia Mathiotte (b. 1990, Russia) is a contemporary artist, designer, and founder of the art couture brand Maison Anastasia Mathiotte, based in Paris. She studied at the Institut Catalan de la Mode in Barcelona and at Central Saint Martins in London, where she deepened her vision of fashion as a space where craftsmanship, technology, and human awareness converge.

Since relocating to Paris in 2019, Mathiotte has developed a distinctive practice in which garments and objects function as energetic fields. Her work is infused with hand-painted neurolines, symbolic color, and digital codes, merging physical and virtual dimensions.

Her creations span art couture, digital fashion, and 3D-printed objects. Within the 4Dverse ecosystem, she produces wearable sculptures, experimental jewelry, and immersive experiences in AR, VR, and NFTs. Exhibiting internationally, Mathiotte positions her work at the intersection of couture techniques and futuristic technologies, offering fashion as an energetic interface for transformation.

My practice exists at the intersection of fashion, art, technology, and consciousness. I approach garments, accessories, and objects as energetic fields, carrying neurolines — hand-painted codes that embody the continuous flow of awareness.

Through textiles, couture techniques, and 3D-printed forms, I create wearable sculptures and experimental jewelry that act as activators. These works are not merely decorative; they are designed to reflect inner states and invite the wearer into new perceptual realities.

I extend my practice into AR, VR, AI, and NFTs, merging physical couture with virtual environments. Within the 4Dverse ecosystem, my creations become luminous interfaces of transformation, functioning as informational holographic codes that envision a new world.

Each piece is a holographic code that awakens new dimensions within the human experience.

ART WORK STATEMENT

Unique Code – Jewelry Collection

The Unique Code collection is a celebration of the singularity of the human soul. Each piece is 3D-printed in silver, brass, or stainless steel, reflecting the idea that every person carries within them a unique life program.

These individual codes are expressed through intentions, thoughts, and actions, with the light of the soul at their core — the purest energy and most precious gift of human existence.

The jewelry translates this inner architecture into luminous structures, capturing moments of connection between the wearer and their higher essence, transforming the personal unique code into a tangible, visible form.
