In summer 2026, I had the pleasure of holding a series of acrylic painting workshops at Atelier Rikon in Switzerland. The workshops focused on floral painting and were designed for beginners as well as participants with some painting experience.
We began with the fundamentals of color theory, including primary colors, warm and cool colors, complementary colors, and color mixing. We then explored composition, perspective, and the use of golden points before moving on to painting from natural flowers.
One of the most enjoyable parts of the workshops was experimenting with colors together. Each participant developed their own interpretation of the subject, creating a wonderful variety of paintings and making the workshops a truly inspiring experience.
I am very grateful to Atelier Rikon and to everyone who joined the workshops and shared these creative days with me.

This September, I had the wonderful opportunity to join Urban Sketchers Bremen, an inspiring international event that celebrates the art of sketching on location. Artists from all over Europe gathered in the beautiful city of Bremen, Germany, to capture its architecture, atmosphere, and daily life through watercolor and ink.
For me, it was more than just an exhibition — it was a moment of connection. Painting outdoors, surrounded by fellow artists, I felt the rhythm of the city blending with the flow of color and light. Each sketch became a reflection of how I perceive movement, emotion, and the fleeting beauty of urban spaces.
Inside the exhibition hall, hundreds of sketchbooks were displayed, each telling a unique story. I presented my watercolor works that explore light transitions, emotional landscapes, and atmospheric composition, continuing my artistic dialogue between nature and perception.
Participating in Urban Sketchers Bremen reminded me how art can unite people beyond language and culture. It was a space of exchange, creativity, and shared passion — a true celebration of observation and imagination.
