Italian term

combinando con armonia ed originalità

Homework / test Italian to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Painter biography
I'm not satisfied with what came up so far, sounds too literal:( Any help appreciated.
Here's the context:
"XY, nasce a XX nel YYYY, dove vive e lavora. Autodidatta, dipinge in modo professionale ormai da più di 10 anni, ***combinando con armonia ed originalità***, sia quadri, sia sculture ed oggetti d’arredamento."

Thank you in advance

First I put Catherine's suggestion and was satisfied but then I went for "in original and harmonious fashion" which for unknown reasons struck me:) I like them all and thank you all. I'll grade tomorrow with a fresh mind after a good and deserved rest:)

it refers to combining painting with sculpture etc. and he does this with harmony and originality
esoft May 19, 2005:
it reads to me that the artist is combining media...although it may not make any difference with art ....
esoft May 19, 2005:
what is "combinando" refering to? is the artist combining sculpture with painting? or is the artist combining harmony with originality?

harmoniously and imaginatively combining

I don't know what you've put, but this would work. If you don't like "harmoniously" you can put something else... delightfully, charmingly. It would help if you can take a look at the artist's work.
