The Collector’s Edition: Casa Negra x Amina Lei

February 04, 2026•1 min read

This Valentine’s Day marks a historic moment for Casa Negra Collection: our first-ever artist collaboration, created with celebrated multidisciplinary artist Amina Lei. This limited-edition release is a true collector’s object—a rare fusion of art, intention, and craftsmanship that will never be recreated.

Amina transforms our Two Wild Roses candle into a hand-painted vessel that carries both delicacy and power. Her practice—rooted in storytelling, truth, and the courage to confront personal and collective challenges—infuses each piece with a narrative of love, resilience, and beauty. Every candle is individually hand-painted, ensuring no two are alike and honoring the fleeting nature of artistry and time.

Amina’s artistic journey began at an early age and has evolved into a multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, illustration, and education. Her work champions honesty, empowerment, and the transformative role of art in shaping cultural dialogue. Today, her creations serve as meditations on growth, courage, and emotional truth.

For Casa Negra, Amina designed an exclusive rose motif that reimagines love as strength, vulnerability, and intention. Together, we present a once-in-a-lifetime collector’s piece that celebrates modern romance, artistic storytelling, and the beauty of limited creation.
