Painting without fear
Painting and collage workshop

With Ximena Ferrer Pizarro (artist)

How can we discover our own expression beyond learned visual habits and dominant narratives? This workshop invites you to experiment freely with colour and materials, without fear of making mistakes. Inspired by the search for new forms of expression and a critical perspective on traditional visual worlds, we will explore painting and collage as spontaneous means of artistic expression. Our focus will be on intuition, physicality, and emotion—without hesitation. Through playful exercises and the creative use of various techniques, we will break away from academic expectations and standardised aesthetics. Whether through bold brushstrokes, torn paper fragments, or unexpected colour combinations—it’s not about perfection, but about taking space: for your own perspectives, for spontaneity, and for freeing yourself from rigid ideas about what art can be.

No prior knowledge is necessary. Please bring suitable work clothes. Although the workshop will be mainly in German, we mention the languages spoken by the facilitators to make it more accessible. If you don’t feel confident in German, don’t worry—you can still take part. We are committed to respectful interaction. Discriminatory behavior has no place at our events.

Ximena Ferrer Pizarro  (born in Lima, Perú) paints stories in which her characters fight for the visibility historically denied to them and their ancestors. With vulnerable yet sharp-witted directness, she challenges class structures, colonial power relations, and the marks they leave on bodies. Her work is edgy, offbeat, and funny.
