And, why Faro?

Faro isn’t just about history; it’s about contrasts! Look at how the old arches coexist with the clean lines of modernist buildings. That dialogue between past and present is fascinating—and as artists, we can play with it, too. Let’s celebrate the mix!

For a whole month, I painted a new piece of Faro every day—whether on location, en plein-air, or back in my studio in Cologne, using photo references. This project was all about exploring Faro’s vibrant colours, captivating shapes, and, most importantly, its magical LIGHT! The light here is unlike anywhere else, and it deeply influenced every piece I created. Sketching was my guide through this journey, helping me discover the perfect compositions and motifs that truly capture the essence of Faro’s glow.

The experience deepened my connection with the city and its surroundings, and it’s this intimate knowledge and emotional bond that I bring to every Faro Sketchwalk. On these walks, I’ll share my love for this city, showing you the beauty I’ve come to see through my eyes and my art.
