Alchemy Painting is an experience of presence, intuition, and openness. It is a creative ritual where you are invited to release expectations and allow the artwork to evolve freely. In this space, free from conditioning, the act of painting becomes a dialogue between you and the universe, guided by chance, flow, and the energy of the moment.
What to Expect
Each workshop begins with a performance and a live demonstration of the Alchemy Painting technique by Polina, an abstract artist and lecturer in art and aesthetics based in Italy.
With over 12 years of teaching experience and a degree from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Polina has the gift of creating inspiring spaces where everyone — from complete beginners to seasoned artists — can feel free to explore.
Participants will then be guided step by step in creating their own abstract works.
Each guest will receive an exclusive Pineider kit, including inks, pure cotton paper, and other essential materials.
At the end of the workshop, everyone will leave with a collection of unique paintings.
Where and when?
The workshop will take place in the Pineider Boutique Lungarno degli Acciaiuoli 72r-76r.
Time 10:00 am/2:00 pm
Why Join?
• To experience painting as ritual, not just as practice.
• To slow down and reconnect with the present moment.
• To explore creativity beyond technical skills.
• To rediscover connection with your intuitive self.
• To celebrate the symbolic power of color.
The Role of Color
Each session is dedicated to a specific color palette, inspired by an astrological event or one of the four elements: earth, water, air, or fire.
Colors act as anchors for the subconscious, carrying symbolic and emotional layers that bridge the visible and the invisible, the rational and the intuitive.
Reconnecting with the Present
In our hectic, overstimulated world, moments of quiet and true presence are increasingly rare.
Alchemy Painting offers the opportunity to slow down, breathe, and rediscover yourself.
By letting go of control over the final result, you step away from the constant pressure of productivity and perfection — and instead embrace the value of process, intuition, and being in the present moment.
This workshop becomes not just a creative practice, but also a form of meditation and inner renewal.
Final Note
Alchemy Painting is not just art — it is an experience, a philosophy, a letting go.
