Summary

Are you looking for a space to express yourself freely and unbound? Where you can swing your brush and bring your inner images or painting projects to the canvas without any guidelines or expectations?
Immerse yourself in worlds of color and indulge in creative development in my bright studio on the beautiful island of Corfu! Leave everyday life behind you and experience five days of open painting and design in a relaxed atmosphere in the spring freshness of Corfu.

What you can expect:
- a well-equipped painting studio with up to six workstations and a variety of materials for acrylic and mixed media projects
- freedom for your ideas: you can express yourself freely and unbound - whether with brushes, spatulas, sponges, texture and more
- you work largely independently and try out or pursue your creative projects

What you should bring:
- For the studio week, bring ideas for your painting/creative projects or simply find inspiration.

This is not an art course in the academic sense. Rather, I open my studio to people who want to express themselves freely creatively and painterly. The focus is on your own free painting and design. I will guide you through your creative process, share my wealth of experience with you and give you a method or idea as an impulse every day. I give you space to express yourself creatively and find access to your inspiration and intuition.

The village of Agios Stefanos Avlioton is located in the northwest of the beautiful, green island of Corfu, about an hour's drive from the island's airport.
Here you will find everything you need: a good selection of tavernas, restaurants, bars and cafés, a long sandy beach, apartment buildings, small hotel complexes and supermarkets where you can stock up on the essentials.
My bright, well-equipped studio is centrally located in the main street. You can reach the beach from here in just under 5 minutes on foot.
In your free time you can explore the area on foot, for example, you can walk to the small harbor in about 25 minutes or to the back of the headland, from where you have breathtaking views back to Agios Stefanos and into the next bay of Arillas. You can also hire bicycles or e-bikes etc. in the village.
In early summer, the island of Corfu is still particularly fresh and green, many plants are in bloom and the splendor of the flowers often lasts until the end of May and into June, at the end of the summer the sea is then warmed up from the summer and it slowly becomes quieter in the village.

Inside the studio there is an exhibition of paintings, creating a particularly inspiring, artistic atmosphere. We will paint and create at the large table island with up to six workstations with chairs. The WC can be reached via three steps. There are two parking spaces in front of the studio and the studio is equipped with air conditioning for hot days.

How do I work?
I am an expressive, intuitive painter and, apart from a few courses on basic techniques, I am self-taught. I work freely and experimentally, with ease, I explore, am curious and enter into a "dialog" with the colors and the resulting image. I am not fixed to a certain style, my works are colorful, sometimes geometric, sometimes dynamic, sometimes more realistic, sometimes more abstract.
