Painting Courses and Workshops in Lisbon

Painting courses and workshops at Atelier Internacional de Belas Artes, founded by visual artist Rui Carruço

The International Fine Arts Atelier was founded by visual artist Rui Carruço, driven by a clear vision: to create a living space for experimentation, creation, and discovery — more than a school, a true artist's studio. As Rui often says: “A laboratory where artists work!”.

Although he no longer teaches classes personally, Rui Carruço remains the founder and artistic mentor of the project, ensuring that all courses and workshops reflect a consistent vision aligned with his approach to art: intuitive, emotional, hands-on, and deeply personal.

Teaching is still offered in small, carefully guided groups, staying true to the Atelier’s original spirit: to support each student’s development through the Beginner, Intermediate, and Open Studio levels.
