STORIES WOVEN
IN TIME
tiny atelier brings moments, memories, and emotions together to create unique stories, transforming each piece into a timeless reflection of what matters most. It is a space where memories are preserved, stories find their voice, and art gains meaning.
For what is remembered, lives on. Through the fusion of photography, painting, and mixed media, each work embraces layering and transformation—connecting and separating, echoing the layers of life that we all carry within us. Playful fragments of color and rhythm invite pause and reflection, offering not heavy statements but gentle invitations to smile, to imagine, and to recognize something personal within.
At tiny atelier, art becomes more than a visual creation; it becomes a way to connect, to breathe, and to find balance in the flow of time—reminding us that we are not fixed snapshots, but beings in motion, woven of memory, feeling, and possibility.
tiny atelier creates timeless works that turn memories and universal stories into meaningful pieces of art.
WHISPERS of color
Playful fragments of color and rhythm that invite you to pause, smile, and discover your own story within. Balancing abstraction and familiarity, these works evoke a sense of lightness, joy, and the beauty of life’s small meaningful moments. In the paintings, broad fields of blues and greens open into space, while small accents—dots, strokes, and dancing lines—bring movement and playfulness. The contrast between openness and detail creates both calm and vibrancy, leaving room for imagination while sparking moments of delight, like fleeting whispers of joy across the canvas.
FRAGMENTS of memory
This collection is a mosaic of moments, where photos, texts, colors, and linen merge to capture the fleeting nature of memory. Each piece weaves together cherished details and half-remembered feelings into a timeless tribute to life's meaningful fragments.
ECHOES of time
This collection explores the theme of time by telling stories of legacy and memory—tracing the echoes of the past and their influence on the present and future. Through layers, textures, and timeless imagery, it reflects the connection between past, present, and future.
