Continuing the 2500 year old tradition of still life painting that was started by the Greek artists Zeuxis and Parrhasios, you will dive into observational creativity and make your own unique painting of beautiful objects that represent Greek culture. In my workshop you will feel the exhilaration of creating something from nothing! You will improve your observational skills and release your creative potential! You will be guided step-by-step by me. You will also learn the history of the arranged objects we will be using as our inspiration, and you will be able to take your creation back home with you as a warm reminder of your time in Athens.

What to expect

Athens is the city of my birth. It's here that I spent my time dreaming of going into the arts. I have had careers in industrial design, illustration, and now I am a fine artist.
I have always been enamored with Athens and its unique character. In recent years the city has become richer offering a much more diverse and dynamic cultural landscape. Realizing this transformation, I wanted to contribute by offering workshop experiences to promote Greek culture through art.
This still life painting workshop is for art enthusiasts, who wish to go deeper than just look at beautiful objects in museums. Everyone is welcome. From beginner to advanced. In my studio, located in the central and trendy Kolonaki district, you will be guided by me through the drawing and color steps. We will explore in acrylic paint, arrangements of beautiful objects that truly represent Greek culture. You will learn basic techniques in acrylic painting including color mixing, brushwork and composition. We will paint on small, light weight wood panels just like the Ancient Greek artists did in Hellenistic times. You will also be able to take your painting home with you as a reminder of your time in Athens.
