Art & Wellbeing: Exploring Creativity Through the Senses in Caritas KIPOS

A series of three Art & Wellbeing workshops took place at our KIPOS center in August led by Jose Lopez-Marin, a Spanish artist visiting Cyprus from his base in the UK. Participants experimented with a variety of creative artistic techniques, including collage, watercolor and hand painting.

Specialized sensory-based methods designed for therapeutic and educational purposes were used to foster participation for children and adults with additional needs. Participants were encouraged to touch, feel, play and explore materials – even taste the plant-based, edible paint! These workshops fostered fun, creativity and connection.
