“A wonderful atelier! I can only speak positively about my experience here. Rui is a great teacher who adapts to his students’ preferences. It welcomes people who want to begin as well as those who have painted for years. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed, ideal for painting.”
Elisa Colina
“Rui Carruço is a brand in his own right: a professional teacher and master of painting. He leads classes in a relaxed atmosphere, making everyone feel welcome. He never discourages; on the contrary, he motivates and positively encourages curiosity and the desire to go beyond our own “limits”. The atelier is international, with people from all over the world. Speaking English is no problem for Rui. Painting classes at Atelier Internacional de Belas Artes are pure pleasure. I RECOMMEND IT!”
Marta Nowacka
“I started painting classes at the atelier at a time in my life when I needed something different. Whether you want a relaxing activity or to begin an artistic journey in painting, I recommend Atelier Internacional de Belas Artes to everyone!”
Vasco Hart
“This atelier has a very pleasant atmosphere and teachers who, instead of taking us through a predetermined programme, want to know what we wish to paint and in which style. They teach us all the techniques we need to achieve our goal. Teaching is therefore entirely personalised, even though we are all working together. Congratulations!”
