Hello, welcome on my website! My name is Karlijn Surminski and I am a Dutch painter, and art teacher, based in Barcelona since 2007.
Colour your Life with Art! That´s my mission. Every person needs Colour in Life, to make the day a little brighter. To see the spectrum of diversity against a Black and White background.
Art gives you the opportunity to recognize your emotions and memories in an unexpected way. Especially when it´s something you have around but you´ve never really looked at it that way.
That´s why I bring art closer to people and people closer to art. I believe every person has the right to get in touch with art and develop themselves in an creative way. It´s a muscle you can train, just like in the gym.

Since 2023 I’m travelling between Barcelona and the Netherlands for work.
