What the heck is this girl doing? Looks like she’s just eating and traveling. Well… yes. But not only! 🍿 Hi, I’m Arina! Founder of @sparkle.table —where we craft tailored events from start to finish, designing table settings and creative catering. We create immersive experiences for brands, corporate clients, and private gatherings, with a special focus on gastronomy and aesthetics. Basically, making sure you feel the sparkle ✨ One of my greatest joys? Feeding wonderful people and hosting them—at home, on the beach, or during road trips. Watching people enjoy food is my favorite sight. And yes, I’m a dedicated eater. (Also, I do food pop-ups sometimes.)🍽️🥂 Obsession alert: Pickles. You’ll catch on quickly if you watch my stories. And, of course, bread and butter—always.🥒🥖🧈 By education and passion, I’m a contemporary art manager. I’ve worked in galleries, museums, and foundations in PR, branding, and development. Art shapes my vision of life—still questioning everything, always inspired.🎭 Now based in Lisbon with my poodle Sparkling (yes, really), traveling for theater and art premieres, and hunting down the best food festivals.🩰 Here on Instagram? It’s my digital diary—beauty, pickles, dogs, a lot of food, and occasional existential crises, because, well… life isn’t perfect. It might look like I only eat and travel, but trust me—I’m a workaholic.🤹🏼 Nice to meet you, Arina

What’s your creative practice? ⠀ I was asked this recently — and I didn’t even have to think. Cooking. Always has been. (Well you can see it at my stories, ofc). ⠀ Since I was a kid, I have been cooking with my granny. Then, when I was in school, I cooked for my classmates. Even when we had university drunk parties, I was the one who woke up to make breakfast. ⠀ I love the magic of turning ingredients into something completely new. ⠀ But the real art is leftovers. ⠀ When there’s random stuff in the fridge and storage, and somehow you create something delicious without any recipe. Just a pinch of that, a bit of those. Chaotic cooking is there I feel the creative practice is happening. ⠀ But after all the most important thing is the process of feeding people. It’s boring for me to cook just for myself. Food is a conversation, it needs to be shared: with family, friends, or clients. That’s how I think and how I create. ⠀ And it’s exactly why I built a creative agency around food. And why I invite creative chefs to work with me. (And because I love eating so much xxx) @galinagolikova visited Lis and made me a new fav pic!

So happy to be a part of Charity Champions ❤️ ⠀ One year ago, I saw @brionymckenzie_ making an auction to raise money for Portuguese kids from Crescer Ser and felt like I wanna help. And just like that we made the third Gala happen last week! ⠀ We raised 9k € to help send kids in need on holidays to summer camps 🏕️ ⠀ Lucky to be surrounded by people who think about others and want to give back to the country we all moved to. Thanks a lot for a great women’s power team of volunteers @carlabiesinger @livingfearlesslycoach @emilypeilan @jocoxbrown @feed.theunicorn n, @piperlincoln ! ⠀ And thanks for Generosity Partners for donating such incredible experiences for our auction. ⠀ @fightculturemethod for the boxing date 🥊 @borboleta.porto for the dinner experience @pause.cosmetology for the facial system @amplifylisbon @tejomed @hyattregencylisboa @almahumans @studiovisible @aluna.shine @anagramodcepelin @visibletours @santajoanalisboa @michellepozon_spiritualstylist @katialeonardo_ @the_seekers_circle @desertislandsurvival Special gratitude for @dalaney_davis for being an incredible auctioneer and @zynatalks for being such a cool mc.
