Paiting for children and young people
The activity of art allows us to connect with the depth of the infinite power that lives in us and to give it its own expression.
Children have spontaneous, intuitive access to their inner being, to their creativity, to their creative power.
Accompanying children – while painting – means participating in the processes they have chosen. It’s about the willingness to be in the here and now without following an idea of what should or could be. To trust what is happening.
To be there, to perceive and nourish growth steps without entering into an evaluation, to take every subjective reality seriously and to appreciate it. No solution processes to look for. The goal is a holistic support of the child in his/her development, his/her concentration and his/her creativity, the support of the individual expression and a strengthening of his/her tolerance as well as his/her self-confidence.
It’s about a game, a common game in which nothing is taught, interpreted or judged, it’s about “the painting game in the studio”.

“Each person comes into the world with special gifts
that need to be developed.”
The studio is a room lined with painting walls. In the middle is a pallet table with paints and brushes. Work is done standing next to the wall, painting on large-format sheets of paper with gouache paints and brushes.
