We will talk about self-appreciation and how to "see" ourselves in a beautiful way, to appreciate our qualities, and to bring them into our drawing.

This is called in spiritual terms transfiguration. An essential aspect as well when we perform Art.

Learn figurative drawing and combine it with abstract-fantasy elements.

Create an imaginative background in your Portrait.

At this Self Portrait MASTERCLASS, you will be able to portray yourself together with elements of nature, objects, and free paint in the background enriching your figurative drawing with fantasy drawing & texture.

What is Self Portrait?

A self-portrait is when we paint ourselves.

It is the easiest way to start painting a portrait and start to draw the human body. 

Each of you will receive a mirror and will paint yourself remarking all features and main characteristics of your unique face. Our face is a starting point, the drawing does not necessarily have to look like ourselves, but more like our inner essence.

We will use transfiguration meditation exercises to depict all your beautiful characteristics, enhancing all qualities that you have and as well the qualities that you wish to awaken more in yourself.

What is transfiguration?

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Transfiguration is when we see beyond appearances or what we perceive through the 5 senses. 

We start from what we see and we go beyond it, seeing all our hidden potentialities appreciating who we truly are and all our most beautiful nuances. Using visualization techniques and drawing them, we are able to awaken those qualities in a very easy way.

This workshop is an invitation for introspection, inner exploration, meditative drawing, creativity, Art & spirituality.

ART IS A FORCE IN ITSELF

Extremely valuable but still accessible. 

• Art is a complex result of skills, spiritual balance, and scientific knowledge, When combining these qualities together, we are able to perform and experience genuine Iniciatic Art
• Art has healing effects in this stressful world.
• Art is bringing contemplation and relaxation into our minds.
• So many times, Art has not been understood, we offer now, the quantum transformation of Art
• These new revolutionary methods will be hopefully one day available in all schools.

ABOUT THE ART TEACHER

Ines Honfi

 Over many years of experience in the field of Art and creativity, I saw what is missing…..

First I studied Art, I learned techniques to develop skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture, with tones of hours of training.

But, I saw that this is not enough, I needed as well to learn techniques to access stability in the process of inspiration, to accomplish inner balance, better focus, to know more about my soul and the Universe.

I found an Esoteric School where I learned to alchemize my energies, to awaken my intellect, body, mind, and soul. I got several initiations in secret techniques to develop myself and grow into a balanced person.

I became a Yoga, Tantra, and Meditation Teacher on this specific initiatic system, 

After training myself intensely, I wish to bring something positive, idealistic, and visionary to our society, to pass forward all that I know to you, who are in the beginning or middle of the search to express yourself through Art

Reserve these days to come and paint together! 

"Creativity is intelligence having fun."

-Albert Einstein
