About event
Do you feel like your creativity needs a little boost?
Are you drawn to the hidden meanings of nature and mysterious, philosophical ideas that link art, science, and curiosity? ✨🌱🧪🌌🌿
In this painting class, we’ll be exploring the world of Giuseppe Arcimboldo. We’ll look at how his imaginative, symbolic approach to painting can inspire our own work. Arcimboldo used plants, fruits, fire, vegetables, animals, and more to build entire visual worlds—sometimes playful, sometimes philosophical. His paintings were full of strange combinations and secret meanings, reflecting both a deep respect for nature and a fascination with transformation 🍎🔍🍐🥬📚🍇🌀🔮
🖌️ In this class, you’ll:
✨ Learn about the life and ideas of Arcimboldo—his connection to nature, science, and the royal courts
✨ Discover how cabinets of curiosity inspired a new way of seeing the world
✨ Explore how to create your own symbolic, nature-based composition in Arcimboldo’s spirit
✨ Get practical tips on acrylic painting, composition, and creative combinations of nature forms.
✨ Connect with other curious minds and nature lovers in a cozy, inspiring space 💚
🌸 Included in THE WORKSHOP:
👉 Materials: acrylic paints, brushes, and canvas boards will be available. At the end of the workshop, you will have your own painting 🎨
👉 Teaching (theory & practice) + references
👉Warm drinks and cookies 🍪
📍 Meeting point: 17:45 at Karlínské náměstí (by the church entrance – Kostel sv. Cyrila a Metoděje).
We’ll walk together to the studio—it’s just 5 minutes away!

ABOUT THE TEACHER:
Irene Antonez is a Prague-based multimedia artist, specializing in surreal, psychedelic-inspired paintings that explore the intersection of nature, animism, and the philosophy of psychedelics. Her work often features entheogenic plants, fungi, and microscopic organisms, inspired by her deep connection with nature and research into Indigenous knowledge and rituals. Beyond painting, she creates large-scale murals and animations, and has collaborated with other artists on interactive installation art projects.
Antonez holds master’s degrees in Fine Art and Future Design from Prague City University. Her work has been showcased in various group shows and solo exhibitions alongside art festivals such as Ozora Fest in Hungary and Fenix Fest in the Czech Republic, with pieces in private collections worldwide. She has been featured on nature and psychedelics-focused podcasts like Welcome to the Mushroom Hour and Mycopreneur and starred in the short film Mushroom Magic, based on her art.
