Visual artist Rui Carruço and Sofia Lopes Rosa are the founders of Atelier Internacional de Belas Artes.
Based in Restelo, Lisbon, the atelier offers oil and acrylic painting, watercolour and drawing courses, alongside workshops exploring different techniques.
Our Essence
The Atelier Internacional de Belas Artes is more than just a painting school! It's a place where artists work!
Art transcends nations! And the Atelier Internacional de Belas Artes is a place of sharing without borders! One of our goals is to promote our art and our artists abroad and, on the other hand, to showcase the best of what is being done elsewhere!
The overuse of reasoning and academic components can constrain the artist and limit their creativity! For this reason, the Atelier Internacional de Belas Artes is characterized as a laboratory! More important than technique is the will! No one truly knows their full potential!
Our Mission
The mission of the Atelier Internacional de Belas Artes is to stimulate public interest in the arts by offering students experiences that enrich their personal and professional lives.
Our Vision
The vision of the Atelier Internacional de Belas Artes is to be a cultural institution of reference in the world of arts and in social responsibility, contributing to the development of society.
