Unlock Your Creativity: Emotions on Canvas workshop

  • Romulus Folio Gallery 15-85 Gladstone Street South Melbourne, VIC, 3205 Australia (map)

Join artist Angelina Mirabito for a nurturing and expressive palette knife painting workshop that invites you to transform emotion into bold, textured art.

Let go, explore, and create—experience the beauty of expressive painting with palette knives!

Join The Gladstone’s artist in residence, Angelina Mirabito, for an afternoon of freedom, exploration, and self-expression. Through guided breathwork and gentle reflection, you’ll identify key emotions, explore their colour and placement in the body, and bring them to life on canvas using vibrant, pre-prepared paints.

In this immersive workshop, you will:

  • Experiment with palette knife techniques to create striking texture and movement.

  • Explore color as an emotional language, learning to express moods and experiences.

  • Embrace spontaneity and creativity, allowing intuition to guide your process.

  • Create a 40cm x 40cm artwork to take home as a personal expression of your emotions.

No painting experience needed—just a willingness to feel, play, and create. All materials provided, with plenty of support and freedom to explore your unique expression.

About the Artist

Melbourne-based artist Angelina Mirabito brings a background in Creative Writing (PhD) and a practice shaped by her Italian heritage. Also using unconventional materials and tools—palette knives, sticks, hands, and ladles—she builds layered surfaces that translate internal experiences into vibrant, tactile paintings. Her work explores the intersection of emotion, movement, and materiality, drawing attention to the physical and sensory depth of abstract expression.
