ABOUT

Elemental Creative Flow

A collaborative art process

An invitation to connect, create and flow with the elements


Enjoy an immersive afternoon of creativity, music and self-expression, where art becomes a shared exploration.

Join visual artist Vincent Meyburgh and musician Jannous Nkululeku Aukema for a unique two-hour experience that brings together collaborative painting, live instrumental cello, movement and reflection.


Inspired by the natural elements of earth, water, fire and air, this intimate workshop invites you to explore your creativity in a playful, intuitive and connected way.

How does the flowing sound of water inspire colour and movement? What shapes emerge from the energy of fire? How might the stillness of earth or the freedom of air find expression through your hands?


You'll be invited to move beyond thinking and simply create, allowing sound, colour and movement and imagination to lead the way.

Together, we'll contribute to one large, evolving abstract artwork.


After the paint has dried Vincent will add layers of paint and it will become part of his new body of work.

Each participant will receive a digital image of the finished painting as a keepsake, with the option to purchase a professionally printed reproduction afterwards.


No artistic experience is necessary. This is not about painting something perfect. It's about enjoying the freedom of creativity and embracing the beauty of the unexpected.


Your Facilitators:
