Plein Air
April 2026, Kafikas

Our school went on an en plein air trip to the picturesque village of Kafikas. Everything went wonderfully! Our students had the opportunity to depict the village’s architecture and nature from life. We visited the Kafikas Local History Museum, where we were given an excellent tour. It was wonderful: each student was able to draw several sketches and paintings during the day. This is a valuable experience that you don’t get from working in a workshop. We’re all already looking forward to the next en plein air trip!

New school space
July 2025, Emba, Pafos

Friends, our dream has come true!
We have long dreamed and planned to create a school that would be modern, beautiful, functional and comfortable. According to our plans, it was supposed to become not only a place for classes for children and adults, but also an exhibition hall, a space for gathering creative people, territories for master classes and creative evenings. We also really wanted the school to have stunning views of our beautiful Cyprus and the sea. We are proud to announce that we have succeeded in all this! Now you can depict a stunning sunset without leaving school. We have a place to teach, create and communicate with you!

Filming an American movie
August 2024, Pafos

At the end of August 2024, Maxim Anferov completed his work as the chief production designer of the American film Entropy. This is not Maxim's first job in the film industry. In Moscow, he worked at Mosfilm and took part in the filming of various films. But it was his first time in Cyprus in such a role.
Our students got a great opportunity. They took part in the creation of monumental sets for the film, and also had an invaluable opportunity to learn how cinema is created, and discovered new ideas for their future careers. This is not the first time that Angela and Maxim have entrusted their students with such a demanding job as creating decorations.
