Step into my painting studio and immerse yourself in playful workshops filled with color, freedom, and joy. Together, we work intuitively to create unique abstract artworks. Experience the healing power of colors, brushstrokes, and unexpected techniques.

I provide an inspiring environment and high-quality materials, your only task is to show up, relax, and enjoy the creative process. Let your own creations come to life naturally.

'Paint for Joy' Workshop

In this workshop, we explore an intuitive, playful approach to abstract painting and mixed media. It's all about activating your creative power and discovering different materials and techniques.

Together, we create balance in our nervous system and learn to be fully present in the moment. We work freely on watercolor paper, so you can experiment and discover.

'Playful HeArt' Sessies

Have you previously participated in a 'Paint for Joy' workshop and would you like to continue your painting journey? Then the Playful Heart sessions are perfect for you!

Every month on a Sunday, I invite you to continue your creative adventure. We will continue to paint abstractly in an intuitive way, in a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of room for experimentation and fun. The format is similar to the original workshop, but each time I will give a short demonstration in which I introduce a new method, technique, or material.

Enjoy creating together in a warm, non-judgmental environment and let yourself be carried away by the moment!

Vedic Art

Vedic art is a creative method that connects you with your intuition and inner wisdom.

It is not a technical lesson, but a creative journey inward. By painting without judgment or expectation, you come into contact with who you really are.

Vedic Art is based on 17 Vedic principles. These principles help you rediscover your inner creativity, release blockages, and create from a place of freedom, silence, and intuition.

Anyone can practice Vedic Art; you don't need any art training. Whether you are experienced or have never held a paintbrush before, the method speaks directly to your natural creative power.

Vedic Art was developed by Swedish artist Curt Källman, based on knowledge he received from his Indian teacher Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (the founder of TM). The method combines ancient Vedic wisdom with the process of artistic creation.

What does Vedic Art do for you?

• You learn not how to paint, but from where you create.
• You develop confidence in your expression.
• You let go of performance pressure and enter a flow of freedom.
• You strengthen your intuition and inner knowing.
• You grow not only as a creator, but also as a person.

Who is Vedic Art for?

• For those who long for more creativity and inspiration.
• For those who want to learn to create freely without judgment.
• For those who are looking for inner peace, depth, or transformation.
• For artists and non-artists, beginners and advanced students.
• For those who want to develop their own style of painting.
• For those who want to get to know themselves better.

DURATION: 6 Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

DATES: 3/10 - 10/10 - 17/10 - 7/11 - 14/11 - 21/11
