with marina anta + lucas smith
|
Step outside your usual creative routines and embrace the element of surprise through collaborative art-making!
In this workshop, you'll delve into "group dynamics," experiment with unconventional tools, and co-create a large-scale artwork. Learn to activate the canvas through instinctive movements, exploring materials adventurously, and expressing oneself through abstract techniques. Artists will be encouraged to take creative risks and uncover new approaches to art-making in a collaborative setting. Throughout the workshop, Marina Anta and Lucas Smith will be engaging in the creative process alongside you, embracing the unpredictable nature of collaborative art. They will be available to provide guidance and support, with the aim of challenging themselves and you creatively while fostering a spirit of collaboration within each group. Artists can sign up in pairs or groups of 3. If you're flying solo, no worries! We can work with that. Workshop Info:

Marina Anta
Marina Anta is an enthusiastic contemporary artist with a passion for painting and creating the most breathtaking, thought-provoking pieces. Born in an industrial town in Russia, Marina learned the importance of working hard to succeed at an early age and would ultimately pursue a Master's Degree in History before getting a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ural Federal University. Upon migrating to the United States, Marina began experimenting with art while traveling to different countries across the globe, using these exciting places and new experiences for much-needed inspiration. She would spend the next decade immersing herself in art, studying in Russia, Italy, and the United States, and learning new and effective techniques that have helped her become a master of her craft. Known for her innovative approach to artwork, Marina finds joy in using restrained, muted colors and a richness of tonal transitions and shades close in color to bring each piece to life, evoking raw emotions without taking away from the main idea. She aims to create art that brings a sense of excitement to viewers, where they can experience unlimited emotions with pieces that resonate deeply within them. |
