Creativity retreat in Krabi, Thailand

Krabi is the perfect holiday destination for those looking for a relaxing area in southern Thailand. The province, located between Phang Nga and Trang, features stunning scenery both inland and at sea. With over 150 islands off its 150 km-long coast line (many of them featuring fantastic white-sand beaches and turquoise waters), a jungle-covered interior, towering limestone cliffs, caves, waterfalls and exotic wildlife, Krabi a great selection of natural assets that offer its visitors a wide array of leisure activities for the whole family. Island-hopping, snorkeling, rock climbing, sea kayaking, jungle trekking and scuba diving, are among the most popular occupations that can be enjoyed while on holiday in Krabi. From its most prominent destinations – Ao Nang, Railay, Phi Phi Islands and Koh Lanta – to its lesser known areas – Ao Luk, Ao Nam Mao, or Ao Thalane, to name just a few – the province of Krabi is less developed and crowded than Phuket, more laid back than Koh Samui, and just 80 minutes by air from Bangkok.

Krabi has a similar climate to Phuket, with average temperatures around 75°F to 89°F (24°C to 32°C) year round. The wettest months are September and October. The area does not suffer from marked weather swings and pretty much any time of year is good to visit, although the most favourable season to visit Krabi is from November to late March.

Casa Arte organizeaza in perioadele 31 iulie- 6 august si 7 august – 13 august 2017, doua ateliere de arta – pictura/ foto in Barcelona.
Va invitam cu drag, sa participati alaturi de noi, la proiectul: Barcelona, un jurnal in imagini, o expeditie urbana intr-unul dintre cele mai fascinante orase ale Europei.
Conceptul acestor clase relaxante de vara este sa descoperim Barcelona prin intermediul unui Jurnal creativ, in culoare si fotografie, realizat de noi in fiecare zi. Spre toamna, vom expune file din Jurnalul nostru de calatorie, in cadrul unei expozitii de grup.
Qigong-ul, meditatiile ghidate si meditatiile cu sunete vindecatoare, ne vor insoti zilnic si ne vor ajuta sa ne deschidem si sa ne conectam cu potentialul nostru creativ.
Ne vom asterne impresiile cu ajutorul culorilor de acuarela si vom surprinde in imagini traseul nostru prin magicul oras spaniol.
Si, cum plaja este atat de aproape, vom poposi si acolo cat de des putem.
Fie ca ne bucuram de momentele dedicate fotografiei, fie ca invatam sa ne asternem gandurile si impresiile prin semn si culoare, noi intentionam sa ne relaxam si sa ne conectam cu creativitatea noastra, prin metode interactive de descoperire.
Zilnic, vom participa la mici expeditii urbane, care vor include puncte de interes major, locuri secrete, dar si viata alaturi de localnici, in locuri preferate de acestia.
Fie ca inspiratia noastra sa fie starnita si sa ne poarte cat mai frumos!

“Hold your horses” Leontina Rotaru

http://vimeo.com/35909499

  Lucrările din expoziţia “Hold your horses” fac parte dinr-o serie înca în lucru, înca în căutări. Pe lângă faptul că am o pasiune pentru cai, ca animale, forma lor şi toate posibilităţile de a lucra cu ea, de a o face să fie armonioasă şi suplă precum un cal tânăr, până la a fi brutală şi incisivă precum Vicki, calul de tracţiune pe care l-am cunoscut acum câteva zile, este doar o problema de exprimare a ideilor fiecărui artist în parte, de altfel, metodele de reprezentare a unei forme vii, cum poate fi şi cea a omului sau a câinelui, etc., cred că pot fi infinite.

  Mi-a plăcut foarte mult lucrul pe genul acesta de pânză, pânza de sac sau de cânepa, care mi se pare de-a dreptul fermecatoare, in relaţie cu subiectul meu, că se evidenţiază unul pe altul, subiect şi suport, mai ales lăsată să se desfăşoare în diversele spaţii, cu toate elementele ei de expresie, fără a fi îngrădită de alte suporturi rigide.
