Details
-A theoretical lecture on emotional intelligence and how it helps us get to know ourselves better
-A hands-on painting workshop that will build on the connection between self-awareness and art through the analogy between painting and real life.
This workshop covers the segment on "Present" of the Happiness Center's series "On the Journey to Purpose Through the Lenses of the Past, Present, and Future". Fully immersing ourselves in an artistic and creative endeavor helps us become more skillful at another form of Art, that of being present.
There are no pre-requirements to participate in this session except for sensitivity and willingness to learn.
Absolute beginners in painting are welcome!
Speakers
Alberto Fernández Hurtado
Alberto Fernández Hurtado is Professor in Residence of Art and Thought at IE Creativity Center where he has been working weekly with international students from a wide range of backgrounds and interests since 2016. He began his career as a multidisciplinary artist after studying Illustration at the Escuela de Artes y Superior de Diseño "Casa de los Picos" in Segovia, and after a self-taught training he entered the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid. With an overwhelming plastic art, a precise drawing and a highly attractive capacity to portray the ephemeral in each of us, he has been turning his work towards happening and the casual incidence of the environments on which he works for months. His work is distributed in a multitude of public and private entities, as well as in different private collections, although the mark of his abilities begins to show in the change he provokes in each individual with whom he works.
