At a time when the boundaries between art and technology are being continuously redefined, some projects manage to propose a new kind of visual language—one where emotion, composition, and digital tools coexist. A recent example comes from GRÉGOIRE, where creative director Ana Petrișor has crafted a delicate and thoughtful visual universe, starting from a familiar gesture: taking a seat at the table.
“A Seat at My Table” is a project signed by Ana Petrișor that explores the subtle connections between people, objects, and the shared space of the table. Conceived as a visual series about presence, identity, and belonging, the project stands out through carefully composed scenes, images that feel as if taken from a lucid dream, and a quiet tension that lingers in each frame.
To bring this vision to life, Ana used artificial intelligence tools to generate realistic imagery with a cinematic, almost tactile aesthetic. Rather than replacing artistic intent, technology served as an ally in shaping the atmosphere—a way to translate emotion into image without reducing its complexity.
The project’s visual impact did not go unnoticed. Several images from “A Seat at My Table” were featured by Sora, OpenAI’s video model, in its official visual content selection. This recognition marks a significant moment for GRÉGOIRE, an emerging name in Romania’s creative scene, now part of a global conversation about innovation, aesthetics, and the evolving relationship between human expression and digital creation.
Sora is known for its ability to generate and interpret highly realistic video content, opening up new possibilities for visual storytelling. Its decision to include an independent project crafted with care and artistic discipline reflects a growing openness toward creations that blend human vision with machine-made tools.
“A Seat at My Table” doesn’t aim to astonish—it invites the viewer to pause. To notice. To enter a quiet form of presence. In a visual landscape often defined by excess, this restrained and intentional simplicity gave the project a distinct voice—and made it visible in a space where the future of creation is being shaped.
