” Play becomes joy, joy becomes work, work becomes play. ” – Johannes Itten

    Since 2021, I have been conducting “Art and Creativity” workshops, where each module is designed with a specific purpose in mind. The goal is to create a positive and collaborative environment for participants to express their emotions and sensations through visual arts. 
 

   With a background in art history, international development studies, and coursework in anthropology and psychology, I am able to integrate diverse methods and perspectives from the social sciences and humanities into my approach to visual arts.

   Each workshop is designed around specific themes and concepts., with a focus on so called “modern” humans’ need of togetherness, collectivity, since we are constantly getting inspired by each other, affecting each others’ way of being and emotions.

  Throughout the activities, we question:  “How can we evoke a sense of curiosity and wonder?” and “How can we explore the existence of “other” possibilities during the creative production process?”. 

"Eye see what you see"
