Workshops

Over the years I have developed a series of workshops using various techniques, creating art together with groups of all sizes. The workshops invite participants to explore color, composition, and expression in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. With guidance, even beginners can achieve visible and exciting results in a short time.

Collage Painting

A popular format among work teams and larger groups is the Collage Painting Workshop. The process begins with a chosen photo or a well-known artwork. Each participant receives a “puzzle piece” to recreate using crayons or paint. When all the pieces are joined together, they form a large, striking collective artwork — ready to be mounted and displayed as a shared achievement.

Example: 90-minute workshop inspired by Botticelli, with 9 participants.

Still Life and Model Painting

Other workshops focus more closely on traditional painting techniques. Participants are invited to depict a shared subject, such as a still life arrangement, a tree, or a live model, while exploring light, shadow, and color. These sessions provide a calm and focused creative experience, emphasizing observation and artistic interpretation.
