DESCRIPTION
When we do not pay attention to what we are experiencing in the present, we miss opportunities that will never return. The language is very wise. In English, present means gift or present, while in Japanese, ichigo-ichie translates to: “at this moment, an opportunity.”

BIOGRAPHY
The concept of having two distinct personalities, representing the dualities of soul and mind, yin and yang, is exemplified by individuals pursuing different passions.
 
Take, for example, the story of a biotechnologist who transforms into an artist after the sun sets. From a young age, her mother recognized her artistic potential and enrolled her in painting classes, nurturing her creativity.
 
As an adult, she has found the perfect balance between her scientific and artistic endeavors. Despite setbacks or distractions, she consistently nurtured her imagination, allowing her to keep dreaming and exploring new ideas.
 
This latency period at the University of Sciences did not hinder her creativity but served as a testament to her dedication and resilience.
 
She continued to create, imagine, and dream, proving that true passion cannot be quickly extinguished.
 
Ametza, which means “dream” in Basque, is a self-taught artist who handles the brush and communicates with her soul. She transforms her experiences into portraits of beautiful, wise, and empowered women, giving them freedom.
 
In all those women, there is part of her, of her femininity and her love for her beauty. “Paint and you will heal your soul.”
