Romana Brina Gobec is a creator and the founder of Brinas Studio, a natural dye workshop where she explores the interplay of color, nature, and sensory experience. After years in the corporate world, she followed her deeper calling and became a self-taught expert in natural dyeing. Her work is rooted in the exploration of new ways to apply natural colors, textures, and pigments, revealing the unpredictability and beauty of natural materials. She has exhibited at the Textile Art Biennale in Kranj (2023), Vienna Design Week (2021), and curated her own sensory exhibition Floral Delights (2022).
At the heart of Brinas Studio lies the fusion of intuitive exploration, gentle presence, and a deep connection with nature. Romana Brina creates with trust in natural processes, where colors are not just pigments but living reflections of change, emotions, and moments. Her work invites us to observe subtle transitions and unexpected transformations. In her studio, she experiments with various natural dyeing techniques, blending traditional approaches with modern explorations to create fluid, organic patterns—completely unique, as they emerge from a dialogue between material, moment, and natural forces. She works with colors in different states—liquids, powders, ice—uncovering new textures, depths, and layers. For her, creation is a ritual where mental control gives way to curiosity and openness. Dyeing with natural pigments becomes a tool for self-connection, an exploration of inner landscapes, and a return to simplicity and the rhythms of nature. Romana Brina believes in the beauty of the unrepeatable and the quiet wisdom that comes from trusting the process. Brinas Studio is more than just a creative space—it is a living story about how colors can become a bridge between the outer and inner world, between the visible and the invisible. She shares this passion through workshops, inviting participants to explore their own creativity and connect with nature and themselves through the magic of color transformation.
BIEN Workshop: Rainbow Soul
Rainbow Soul is a sensory, experiential, and meditative workshop. Our medium will be natural colors, prepared from raw natural materials. Participants will intuitively apply these colors onto paper, using natural modifiers to alter the hues of the pigments, allowing the magic of the process to unfold. Beyond the visible, we will explore how these color transitions reflect the spectrum of experiences within us. How can we perceive ourselves and the world in full, in all the colors of the rainbow?
