Solstice Mosaic

“Solstice Mosaic” – A Handpainted Decorative Plate by Anna Tsetsos
One-of-a-Kind | Collector’s Ceramic | A Radiant Tapestry of Light, Rhythm & Renewal

Introducing Solstice Mosaic, a brilliantly handpainted ceramic plate by Greek artist Anna Tsetsos, created as a tribute to the cyclical nature of time and the sacred geometry of sunlight. This piece captures the pulse of midsummer—the high point of energy, color, and bloom.

At its heart, a deep blue orb anchors the composition, surrounded by tessellated diamonds of cobalt and ivory that spiral outward like a sun dial marking time. Radiating from the center are vibrant petals—burnt orange, sunflower gold, and deep crimson—forming a mandala of heat and harvest. The golden-yellow background dances with tiny painted blossoms, echoing fields in full bloom.

A checkerboard border in lapis and copper wraps the entire piece like a woven garland, balancing order and movement. The result is both architectural and celebratory—an homage to ancient pattern and natural rhythm.

Anna describes Solstice Mosaic as “a plate that remembers the longest day, and invites you to linger in its light.” It is a celebration of balance, warmth, and the joy of the sun as both symbol and sensation.
