Last week on the 17th floor of Cé La Vi Paddington was transformed into a winter wonderland, thanks to the world-renowned Tom Baker, who brought his signature snow spray art to life for a truly festive Christmas celebration. Guests gathered, glasses of champagne jingling in hand, to watch Baker turn the balcony windows into a sparkling snowy scene, each flurry a stroke of holiday brilliance. With a playful nod to his brief days working on an oyster farm, oysters and champagne flowed in equal measure, making the evening both merry and indulgent.
Tom Baker is no ordinary artist, he is the creator and pioneer of snow spray art, a medium he invented nearly 20 years ago. His first frosty foray into the craft drew global attention, earning an enquiry from none other than the Empire State Building in that very first year. Since then, Baker’s work has graced Royal Family residences, Jamie Oliver’s events, Walt Disney World’s Christmas campaigns, Coca-Cola, Harvey Nichols, Legoland, Cisco, and countless others. Media outlets from CNN and the BBC to OK Magazine and the Daily Mail have celebrated his genius.
Watching him in action last night, it was easy to see why he’s recognized as the world’s number one snow spray artist. Every swirl of snow, every sparkling spray, was a delicate dance of creativity and precision, leaving guests in awe of the ephemeral holiday magic unfolding before their eyes. For an evening, the city’s skyline became a backdrop for something both festive and extraordinary, a shimmering reminder that with the right touch of imagination, the season’s sparkle isn’t just on the Christmas tree, it can float through the room.
