Articulate StudioVisits
Studio Visits is an Articulate project which introduces artists through a visit to the artists’ workplaces. By paying the artists a visit in their studios, workshops and ateliers, Articulate wants to embrace the creative process of art in the making and the physical as well as mental surrounding in which art is created rather than only focusing on an art piece as end result.

Artist Lars Worm about his inspirations and influences, becoming more self-confident with one’s artistic practice as well as what he wants young aspiring artists to know about art.Art can be educational, emotional or provoking. Art can be sad, serious or shocking. But art can also be fun, joyful and humorous. And often art addresses all of these feelings at the same time. Using primarily simple and natural materials, Artist Lars Worm creates art works that reflect a gentle sense of nonchalance, joyfulness as well as lightheartedness while simultaneously leaving the viewer behind with an uncanny, bitter-sweet feeling.

Painter and sculptor Ana Saraiva about why she works with small brushes on a 2m painting, the magic of collaborating and how a change in color composition can mean taking a more honest and authentic step towards oneselfWhen different currents, energies and influences flow together they become one and form a whole.

The paintings of Ana Saraiva are an extraordinarily expressive and sensitive manifestation of his.
