About his workshops

  

Peter Ciuha created a unique art program based upon a teaching method „Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain“ that removes obstacles and leads to observation and creation. He uses teaching method with his system of five elements of art: Play and experiment, Symbolic expression, Abstraction, Observation of nature and Expression – synthesis into new.    The course identifies week and strong areas of every individual, allowing to make individual program of challenges and exercises.

 

Synthesis of old into new, means rediscovering fundamental elements of art language through study of contrasts and harmony, new techniques for observing nature, developing courage and playfulness, achieving unity in abstract drawing and painting and bringing all together in great fusion that is unique for everyone.

​

Discovering techniques of great master Joze Ciuha, continues this journey of self-discovery, by introducing techniques of watercolour where crystallizations of forms and colours are combined with poetry and haiku's, painting on canvas and on acrylic glass. Painting from behind on acrylic glass was technique he invented in sixties during his travels in Burma (Myanmar). Paint applied to glass from behind is not losing its colour intensity during drying process and stays alive as when it is in its wet state. Fundamental for Ciuha's paintings and drawings was a omnipresent human figure. Sometimes realistically painted, but more often a fusion of children illustration and grotesque collage yet always playfull and experimenting. One simply discovers new ways of representation through deeply experiencing voyage into abstraction on one side and re-discovering the process of observation. Both processes dissolve habitual and stylized drawing caught into fixed forms in oneself, giving a new freedom of expression and eventually new joy and motivation – and eventually – success.
