Altered Art

**Paint & Be Seen 🎨 \| Art & Photo Experience in Milan** This is not a workshop — it’s a creative portal where people meet who are not afraid of themselves, their thoughts, or their beauty. Open to both men and women. But it’s not for everyone. This is not about “painting something nice.” It’s about stepping out of your usual image and seeing yourself without a filter. A studio in Milan, near Gorla metro. A real artist’s space — not polished, not staged. High walls, antique frames, paint on the floor. This is where art is created, not performed. You sit in front of a canvas. Wearing something that doesn’t hide you — natural tones, simple fabrics, a dress or a linen shirt without prints. Something you don’t mind getting a little paint on. Because neatness is control. And here, we let go of it. A glass of wine — to relax and release even deeper. You don’t paint “beautifully.” You paint honestly. I know how to teach — but I won’t. I don’t give templates. I stay close, so you don’t escape yourself in the process. And in that moment, the photographer is working. He doesn’t create “pretty pictures.” He captures truth. A glance. A pause. The movement of your hand. The moment of doubt. The moment you let go and begin. Light and shadow are shaped so you don’t pose — you become part of the frame. This is not just photography. It’s a captured state. 👉 Take a look at the style of photos we create during this live experience — this is not about posing, but about capturing real moments, atmosphere, and your natural presence. We are not about perfection. We are about what is real. There are no “right” people here. Only real ones. We stand for a life without masks. For the courage to see your beauty — not through standards, but through feeling. I speak Italian, English, Ukrainian, and Russian — but here, the real language is color and sensation. ✨ What you receive: — your own painting (30×40 cm, acrylic) — professional black & white portraits — natural group photos — a creative video of the experience — a glass of wine Small group — up to 6 participants. Personal attention. 💰 Price: €80 (all included) Spots are limited. And honestly — it’s not for everyone.

**ARCHETIPARTE - ROMPERE LA QUARTA PARETE** [Presentazione Archetiparte](https://insightart.blog/2026/03/06/archetipare/) [Iscriviti all'evento](https://forms.gle/t1EEGMHrPBcb3cecA) [Video presentazione](https://canva.link/qhnr4p786ohwrho) Un incontro esperienziale in cui arte, cinema, musica e filosofia diventano strumenti per osservare le “scenografie invisibili” per spiegare la quarta parete. Attraverso un brano dei Queen, una scena di un noto film, una parabola filosofica e alcuni dipinti della storia dell’arte, esploriamo cosa accade quando la rappresentazione non coincide più con l’esperienza reale. Non è una lezione accademica, ma uno spazio di condivisione intuitiva attraverso gli archetipi: un’occasione per riconoscere le crepe nelle narrazioni quotidiane e scoprire nuovi modi di vedere.

Step into the very first evening at Kookie’s LAB Studio and be part of its beginning. This two-hour creative experience is designed as a relaxed Friday night ritual: slow down, get your hands messy, and shape something beautiful from start to finish. Guided step by step, you will create two decorative pieces: a small vase an hexagon plate You’ll design them yourself, choose colors and details, and bring both pieces home with you at the end of the workshop. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and the desire to create. The atmosphere is intimate, welcoming, and intentionally unhurried: a space to experiment, connect, and enjoy the process as much as the result. This is not just a workshop. It’s the first pour, the first shapes, the very first night of the studio. ✨ All materials included ✨ Duration: 2 hours ✨ Language: English **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
