Meze & Wine Tablescapes Collection, 2025

This piece is a tribute to the "meal before the meal" — that sacred, informal window of time where food preparation and conversation become indistinguishable. Meze & Wine captures a kitchen counter in the heat of the moment, not as a workspace, but as a gathering point.

It highlights the intimacy of preparation — the stolen bites of food and the glasses of red wine that sustain the cooks and the companions alike.

Through an expressive and high-saturation approach, the scene feels light-drenched and nostalgic. It is meant to evoke the feeling of standing in a sunlit kitchen, leaning against a counter, and realising that the simple act of snacking on olives while talking to a loved one is, in itself, a feast.

The goal is to make the viewer feel the warmth of the room and the deep, uncomplicated connectedness found in these fleeting, ordinary moments.
