TEACHING THE ALCHEMY OF PAINTING

During the 2019 Winter Trimester at The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art, I taught a special course on the relationship of Alchemical principles to Classical Painting techniques.

A wonderful group of students joined me on this journey, creating their own works in the studio under my guidance. We treated the painting as an alchemical opus, using pigments based on planetary metals to ascend, step by step, through the work.

My lectures were recorded and may be viewed for free in the Lecturer section.

One evening, we performed an alchemical meditation on the five elements and seven planetary metals to ritually ascend through their corresponding elements and planets in a cosmic ascent.

All in all, it was a lot of fun, and the exhibition at the end was a great celebration.
