mentoring
Ari de Goes' artistic mentoring offers a unique opportunity for the development of an original artistic language in an immersive environment.
Based in Italy, Ari combines his more than 30 years of experience as a painter and art educator to create individualized programs and group retreats aimed at artists seeking to improve their skills and expand their creative potential.
Creative Immersion
The Creative Immersion, focused on individual development, is ideal for artists who wish to deepen their practice. The mentored artist stays in an apartment attached to the physical headquarters of the VOS School in Reggio Emilia, Italy, where Ari's private studio is located. The creative process unfolds with direct supervision and technical guidance, focusing on developing a personal language and producing original works.
Retreats in Italy
In addition to individual mentoring, Ari de Goes also organizes group creative retreats focused on art, culture, and plein air painting. In 2025, the retreat will be held in the Tuscany region, offering an immersive experience in inspiring landscapes where participants can explore techniques and concepts in a collective learning environment. Sketching and painting sessions are combined with gastronomic experiences and moments of connection, immersed in the culture and cuisine of Tuscany.
