Half Time in Florence

It feels like time is flying extra fast since it's already 3 weeks when I started with the studies of academic drawing and painting at the Florence Academy of Art which I really enjoy. I am very lucky to learn and train at this renown institute among very dedicated people.

My goal here is to upgrade my techniques during this classical master atelier and to train my eye in translating from life. Another great aspect are the lectures in art history in the city of Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli and Donatello and numerous other fantastic artists while you can see so many of their original works here.

It's great fun to work in a very international team of students where there is also find time to explore and enjoy the city to the fullest.
