SEMINARS

Teaching Painting

The art courses and icon workshops support the process of self-acceptance to self-confidence; ultimately connecting with our inner Self, the source of Divine Love. Artistic ability is not essential, just willingness, love of painting and a little patience with oneself.

  • Intuitiv Painting/spirituell Art

Intuitive Painting

In this seminar you learn to find your individual expression in painting. It is an inner journey where you express your own imagery through creativity. The first step of the course will consist of learning fundamental techniques of painting by practising drawing and form exercises.

The second step will be expressing inner pictures through concrete artistic exercises. In this contemplative work, it is very important to experience the inner stillness out of which we become creatively active.

ICON Painting

Painting icons is a prayer. By concentrating on the Divine we create a connection which enables us to have spiritual experiences. In earlier times, only monks were allowed to paint icons. Their painting was done as a meditation and prayer. In current times, icons have been rediscovered as an artistic form. Icon painting follows fixed rules regarding form and drawing. However, the colours can be different and more individual.
