What it is

A personalized art session in an inspiring space. We start by choosing music together to set the tone, then move through simple exercises to get past the intimidation of a blank canvas. With as much guidance as you want, you’ll create a large abstract expressionist piece using familiar, low-stakes materials — craft paper, markers, pastel crayons, and acrylic paints.

Your art session lasts about 75 mins and I’ll give you a heads-up before we wrap. You decide whether to finish the piece then or leave it for a follow-up session.

We’ll debrief together. Take your piece home, or if the paint’s still wet, come back another time to collect it.

Who it's for

  • You haven’t let your creative juices flow in a while and want them back
  • You’re looking for a unique experience in a beautiful Lisbon neighborhood
  • You have excitement, a challenge, or something in between that you want to express or work through
  • You’re simply curious about a new creative process

No artistic talent or experience needed — just show up, start making marks on the paper, and see where it goes.

Who I am

I’m Dinelle Lucchesi, the artist behind The Art Room. I discovered this simple, joyful process for making abstract expressionist art at a moment when I felt completely stuck — it became a portal into a new phase of my life.

Years later, making art in my studio is still a massive source of fun, catharsis and connection for me. This small studio was a gift I gave myself, and I feel proud and privileged to share it with the world. So please — come paint with me.
