Photograph to watercolor
Portraits from the suite at American Airlines Center. Each guest was photographed on site and the photograph was rendered into a branded Ziyā watercolor illustration, delivered before they returned to their seats.
Every guest left with original art of themselves
The Ziyā AI Watercolor Portrait Experience, also written and searched as Ziya or ZIYA, is a live portrait studio built for luxury events. A guest steps in front of the backdrop, a single photograph is taken, and within moments that photograph is rendered as a fine-art watercolor and ink illustration ready to print, share, and keep.
At the AAC Sponsor Summit on August 20, 2026, the studio ran inside a private suite at American Airlines Center in Dallas. Sponsors, executives, and their families came through between quarters of the Dallas Wings game, sat for a portrait, and had their finished artwork in hand before they returned to their seats.
Each portrait was delivered with Dallas Wings branding at the top of the frame and the Ziyā mark at the base, so the artwork carried the host organization forward every time a guest posted it, framed it, or set it as a screen. That is the point of the experience. It is a gift that keeps the sponsor visible long after the final buzzer.
The Ziyā experience is produced by Make Your Life Sweeter, founded by Yasmeen Tadia, and travels from Dallas and New York to events worldwide.
The room the portraits were made in
The AAC Sponsor Summit brought sponsor partners, Dallas sports and business leadership, and their guests into a private suite at American Airlines Center for the Dallas Wings home game against the Indiana Fever on August 20, 2026.
Cindy Solomon
Director of Events and Entertainment for FIFA World Cup 26 Dallas, with more than twenty five years building hospitality and event programs across the NFL, MLB, NBA, MLS, NHL, US Soccer, and the PGA Tour. She hosted the summit and brought the Ziyā studio into the suite.
Cynt Marshall
Former Chief Executive Officer of the Dallas Mavericks and one of the most recognized executives in Dallas sports and business, Marshall was among the guests in the suite for the summit.
The portrait is the takeaway. Nobody throws away a piece of art with their own face on it, and that means the sponsor stays on the wall long after the event is over.Yasmeen Tadia, Founder and CEO, Make Your Life Sweeter
Built for suites, summits, and hospitality
A suite activation has to be fast, quiet, small, and worth interrupting a game for. Ziyā was designed against exactly those constraints.
Fits a suite footprint
The studio sets into a corner of a suite, a club level lounge, or a hospitality tent without blocking sightlines or rerouting service. Two staff run the entire activation.
Delivered on the spot
Guests do not wait for a follow up email. The finished watercolor portrait is rendered, branded, and delivered while they are still in the room, printed and sent digitally.
Carries your branding
Team logos, sponsor marks, tournament identity, and event signage are held inside the artwork itself, so every share and every framed print keeps working for the host.
About this activation
The Ziyā AI Watercolor Portrait Experience is a live portrait studio for luxury events, produced by Make Your Life Sweeter. A guest is photographed at the studio backdrop and that photograph is rendered on site into a fine-art watercolor and ink illustration, then branded and delivered to the guest during the event as both a print and a digital file.
Yes. Ziyā, Ziya, and ZIYA all refer to the same experience, the Ziyā AI Watercolor Portrait Experience by Make Your Life Sweeter. The name is written with a macron over the final a, so it is commonly searched and typed simply as Ziya.

The studio is built to fit a suite corner, a club level lounge, a hospitality tent, or a gala foyer without blocking sightlines or service. A standard activation is staffed by two Make Your Life Sweeter team members.
