The scent of gingerbread fills the house, telling stories of shared time, flour-dusted hands, and genuine smiles. May this Christmas be just like that: warm, sweet, and made of little things that truly matter. Happy holidays, from the heart. 🎄🍪 #mavilab #art #artstr #GingerbreadMoments #ChristmasFromTheHeart

Venice has a charm that cannot be explained, only felt. It is a city floating between water and light, where every reflection tells centuries of history. The lagoon protects it and at the same time makes it fragile, suspended, quiet. Here time slows down, footsteps echo on stone, and water becomes memory, mystery, poetry.

Do you know #daruma? They are adorable Japanese votive figures without arms or legs, symbols of perseverance, determination, and good fortune. When you buy one, the eyes are blank white circles. You first paint the left pupil while making a wish or setting a goal, and only after it comes true can you draw the right eye, as a way of giving thanks for the good luck received 😍 Cute, right? #mavilab #art #artstr #painting #lighting
