About Sinta Margot Spector, and Nomadixx
Sinta with her sister Maya in Japan, and South Africa.
The name Sinta is derived originally from the Hindu name Sita, from the ancient mythology of the Ramayana, from India. Sinta is the name rewritten for the Indonesian translation of the same name, meaning the daughter of the earth goddess, Bhumi and the adopted daughter of King Janaka of Videha and his wife, Queen Sunna. Sita in the end marries the Prince and hero of the story, Rama. The Ramayana goes farther back than Greek Mythology. Sinta was born in Singapore, and lived 3 years of her very young life in Indonesian. Margot the second name her parents gave her, is French, where her great grandmothers, grandmother and her aunt from her mother’s side, carried the same name. The prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn was her mother’s inspiration for the name Margot. Her father’s mother, was hoping, with this unusual name, she would one day become a fashion designer. As for Spector, the name is originally a Russian name from her father’s side, which was once Spectorovitch, most likely changed when her Jewish- Russian, family escaped the Holocaust, from the Germans.
As for Nomadixx, Nomadixx derives from Nomad, which describes almost everyone on this planet, for we all have come from all parts of the world, and live a nomadic lifestyle. Nomadixx is the modern context of nomad as travelers. Sinta came up with the name in 2003 when she was in the process of researching her family background, for her Masters in Fine arts written thesis, and research. Nomadixx just like its name offers a verity of skills Sinta has accumulated over the years. Music, in the genera, of production, music composition, piano, and vocal. In art, skills such as painting, and graphic design, have has been a tool for expression to use in gallery spaces. Interior decor is another one of Sinta’s passions.
