A tea ceremony is a sophisticated ritual in which art, spirituality and hospitality merge. In a quiet, carefully decorated space, guests are welcomed with an atmosphere of peace and attention. The gentle sound of running water, the scent of freshly washed tatami and the gleaming surface of carefully chosen tea bowls set the scene.
The host or hostess moves with graceful precision: cleaning the instruments, scooping the green matcha powder, pouring hot water and beating the bamboo whisk rhythmically. Each action is a gesture of respect and devotion, as if time itself is slowing down.
Guests receive the bowl with both hands, bow slightly and take a sip thoughtfully. The taste of the frothy, bittersweet matcha opens the senses and invites silence and reflection. It is more than drinking tea; it is an encounter with harmony, purity, respect and inner peace.
The ceremony is a living work of art where simplicity and beauty reinforce each other, and where even the smallest details - from the flower in the alcove to the pattern of the tea bowl - tell a story. It is a moment in which the mundane is elevated into something timeless and sacred.

I am inspired by the endless possibilities of art and technology. The creative process starts with an idea, which is then refined by Ai to come to life in unique artworks. Each piece tells a story and invites the viewer to participate in a visual journey.
