This painting course is designed as a unique combination of art and psychotherapy, and opens opportunities for self-discovery. People express their feelings either consciously or sub-consciously. The pictures we create, or paint, are the mirror of our thoughts, feelings, experiences and dreams.
The painting summer school is led by artist, Maarit Murka, one of the most talented, intriguing and adventurous Estonian painters from the younger generation who likes to experiment, and encourages her students to go beyond the boundaries of their own talent and abilities. She calls this manipulating the six senses: seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching and balancing.
Through exploring yourself in painting, you can test your abilities. However, sometimes one of your senses may become blocked, and so Maarit's preferred approach of experimenting in the senses helps her students move forward.Maarit teaches the essence of a rational rather than a romantic art; she teaches the skills of a modern dynamic artist rather than a traditional or bohemian.
