Pulse of the Four Winds

“Pulse of the Four Winds” – A Handpainted Decorative Plate by Anna Tsetsos 
One-of-a-Kind | Collector’s Ceramic | A Rhythm of Balance, Color & Direction

Introducing Pulse of the Four Winds, a radiant handpainted ceramic plate by Greek artist Anna Tsetsos. A hypnotic interplay of color and rhythm, this piece explores movement, direction, and harmony through an ancient-modern lens—where every dot beats like a drum.

At the center, four quadrants of bold primary colors—cobalt blue, sunflower yellow, crimson red, and pure white—intersect to form a wheel of balance. Each segment is composed of meticulously painted dots, arranged in a concentric geometry that vibrates with motion and intent. The outer rings ripple outward in alternating sequences of color, creating a visual tempo that feels ceremonial and cosmic.

The dot technique—precise, meditative, and rhythmic—invites comparison to traditional Indigenous art forms, yet remains distinctly Tsetsos in its balance of contemporary boldness and ritualistic depth.

Anna describes Pulse of the Four Winds as “a compass made of color—a guide not for where we are going, but for who we are becoming.” It evokes elemental forces: earth, fire, air, and water. North, south, east, and west. Unity through contrast. Stillness through repetition.
