Maybe someone lives here.
Maybe they used to.
Maybe it was you.
It’s the kind of place that doesn’t ask questions. You stop in front of it without meaning to, caught between arriving and remembering. The day is warm, but the thoughts are cooler — the kind that show up when you stand still long enough.
Nothing is certain except the feeling that something happened here. A routine, a return, a moment you didn’t think you’d miss. The house keeps it to itself. You keep the rest.
This painting isn’t about a house — it’s about what stays with us, long after we’ve moved on.

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Then… Glow.
Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and unlike anything you’ve tried before?
Our Neon Action Painting Workshop combines the freedom and excitement of Action Painting with the spectacular world of fluorescent colours and UV light, creating abstract artworks that transform before your eyes.
After a short introduction, your instructor will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while explaining the artistic principles behind strong abstract compositions. You’ll explore layering, movement, colour relationships, texture and composition as your painting gradually develops over approximately two hours. Rather than following a predefined design, every splash, brushstroke and creative decision becomes the inspiration for the next, allowing your artwork to evolve naturally from one moment to another.
Action Painting is an intuitive creative journey. Every mark on the canvas invites a new response, creating a continuous process of experimenting, observing and building upon what has already emerged. Throughout the workshop, you’ll work with a wide variety of paints, bottles, brushes, palette knives, rollers and other creative tools while your instructor demonstrates techniques, shares artistic insights and offers individual guidance whenever you need it.
And then the magic begins.
As the studio lights fade and the UV lights come to life, your painting reveals an entirely new personality. Fluorescent colours begin to glow, hidden details suddenly appear, and layers you barely noticed under daylight transform into vibrant, luminous compositions. What felt exciting before suddenly becomes immersive.
No two paintings will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same techniques together, each participant follows their own creative path, discovering a unique balance between spontaneity, intuition and artistic intention.
Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, celebrate with friends or simply experience painting in a completely different way, the Neon Action Painting Workshop combines creative freedom, artistic guidance and an unforgettable visual spectacle unlike any other workshop.
You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind artwork that tells two stories—one in daylight, and another that only comes alive under UV light.

Float, release, imagine.
In this acrylic session, you’ll paint Banksy’s iconic little girl — this time letting go of a cluster of drifting balloons — set against a bold, abstract background full of colour, texture, and playful motion. You’ll learn how to build dynamic layers with brushes and palette knives, blending shapes and strokes to create a vibrant atmosphere that makes the figure and balloons feel weightless.
No experience needed — just drop in, follow the guided steps, and enjoy painting something expressive, modern, and full of lift.

The sea was already awake, moving slowly.
This is a place you return to in memory — solid, calm, built layer by layer. A reminder that not everything needs to be light or perfect to be beautiful. Some things are meant to be felt, not thinned down.
In this textured painting session, we’ll work with modelling paste to create depth, structure, and a truly tactile landscape. You’ll learn how to effortlessly blend colour into the paste itself and apply it in different ways across the canvas, building surfaces that feel almost sculptural.
We’ll explore how to mix beautiful muted yet vibrant tones inspired by a Northern European landscape — atmospheric, cool, and quietly luminous rather than Mediterranean brightness. You’ll discover how subtle colour shifts and layered texture can create mood, distance, and emotional depth, turning the surface into something you can almost step into.

Splash. Laugh. Glow.
Some kids love colouring inside the lines.
Others were born to throw paint.
Pollock in Pyjamas is our energetic Saturday Action Painting experience for children aged 6–12 who love to move, experiment and create without limits. Inspired by the freedom of Action Painting, every session encourages young artists to discover colours, movement and their own imagination in a playful, pressure-free environment.
After a short creative introduction, our artist demonstrates exciting Action Painting techniques and shows how different tools can create completely different effects. Then it’s time to let loose. Children splash, drip, flick, roll and layer paint while discovering that every mark on the canvas becomes the starting point for the next creative idea.
There are no predefined motifs and no right or wrong answers—only curiosity, experimentation and colourful surprises.
Towards the end of the workshop, we switch off the lights and turn on the UV lights. Suddenly fluorescent paints begin to glow, colours transform, and the studio becomes an entirely new creative playground. Children can continue painting under blacklight or simply enjoy watching their artwork come to life in a completely different way.
Each participant creates their own artwork on a 30 × 40 cm canvas, with the option to upgrade to a larger canvas during booking.
Parents are welcome to join the experience and paint alongside their children—or simply relax in our lounge while the little artists enjoy their creative adventure.
Every session is different. Every painting is unique. Every child leaves with colourful memories—and usually a very big smile.

Landscapes? More like dreamscapes. Let’s get surreal.
Ready to paint something that looks like it came straight out of your imagination? In this guided session, we’ll ditch the ordinary and explore dreamy, surreal landscapes using acrylic paint, sponge, palette knife, and a good dose of creative courage.
Think shifting skies, floating hills, glowing colours, unexpected shapes — this is where rules melt and intuition takes the lead. Whether your dreamworld is calm and misty or wild and cosmic, we’ll help you bring it to life on canvas.
This isn’t about painting what’s “real” — it’s about painting what feels real to you.

Chill flowers. Warm shimmer. Fancy-ish fun.
In this laid-back, half-abstract floral session, we’re keeping things simple — but with a golden glow. Soft white flowers bloom against a dreamy mix of greys and warm metallic tones, creating a painting that feels calm, modern, and just a little bit glamorous.
This is all about effortless elegance. You’ll build your flowers using a mix of palette knife work and textured paste, giving them shape, depth, and a slightly sculptural feel that stands out beautifully from the background.
We’ll explore a range of playful techniques — from sponging and gentle gradients to subtle dripping effects — creating soft transitions and layered textures without overworking the piece. You’ll also learn how to work with metallic coloursso they keep their shine and don’t disappear into the acrylics.
Along the way, we’ll focus on how to combine different techniques harmoniously, and how to use contrast — between soft and bold, matte and shimmer, light and shadow — to create either a more dramatic statement or a calm, balanced composition.
Perfect for beginners, minimalists, and anyone who loves a touch of glow without the stress.
No pressure. No rules. Just relaxed vibes and a painting that quietly shines. ✨

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total Freedom.
Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and completely different from traditional painting?
Our Action Painting Workshop combines the excitement of throwing, dripping and splashing paint with the artistic principles behind creating a powerful abstract artwork.
After a short introduction, your instructor will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while explaining how abstract paintings are built through composition, layering, colour relationships and texture. Rather than recreating a predefined motif, you’ll gradually develop your own artwork over approximately two hours, allowing every splash, brushstroke and creative decision to influence what comes next.
Action Painting is an intuitive journey. Every mark on the canvas becomes the starting point for the next, creating a continuous process of acting, observing and reacting. Along the way, you’ll experiment with a wide variety of paints, tools and creative techniques while your instructor shares demonstrations, artistic guidance and individual feedback whenever you need it.
No two paintings will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same techniques together, each participant follows their own creative path, discovering their own balance between spontaneity and intention.
Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, reconnect with your creativity or simply experience painting in a completely different way, Action Painting offers the freedom to experiment while giving you the artistic guidance to turn expressive marks into a finished abstract composition.
You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with a deeper understanding of how abstract paintings evolve—and the confidence to trust your own creative instincts.

She’s not just a fox — she’s a feeling.

Soft and glowing like the first light of day.
In this textured painting session, we capture a delicate dandelion — lit in warm amber and golden-orange tones. Light, dreamy, and quietly striking, this piece is all about contrast, texture, and softness meeting structure.
We’ll be working with texture paste to gently build dimension, creating a subtle raised surface that gives the dandelion its almost touchable quality. You’ll learn how to apply and shape the paste in a controlled way — enough to create depth, while keeping that light, fragile feel.
We move into palette knife techniques, exploring how to layer and softly “tap” and pull the paint to form those delicate, radiating shapes. It’s a beautiful balance between precision and letting go — allowing the texture to guide the outcome.
Light, poetic, and full of quiet movement — a little moment of nature, captured in texture. ✨
