A creative workshop to explore your fears, insecurities & inner emotions 🎨🖤
Hi darling,
My name is Maria Escarpenter, and through my art I try to create safe spaces where people can open up, share, and express themselves without fear of judgment.
I believe we all have inner voices that warn us, criticize us, protect us, or create fears inside our minds. In my own practice, I started giving those voices a shape through drawing. Once I could see them in front of me, I could understand them, confront them, and sometimes even accept them.
During the workshop, we’ll start with some talking and sharing, followed by personal questions to help us look inward. Then, we’ll use our answers to draw our emotions, fears, or inner monsters and give them a shape.
You don’t need to know how to draw. This is not about making something perfect, it is about expression, curiosity, and getting to know yourself through art.

HOSTED BY
Maria Escarpenter (Spain, 1999) is a multidisciplinary artist and performer based in Amsterdam. Their practice uses art as a way to look inward, uncover hidden parts of the self, and transform personal experiences into stories that can be shared with others.
Through performance, storytelling, makeup, and visual transformation, Maria explores the emotions, fears, desires, and memories that often remain buried beneath the surface. By giving these inner experiences a shape, a voice, or a character, they become something that can be confronted, understood, and eventually accepted.
For Maria, art creates a space to open up: to meet the most vulnerable and secret parts of ourselves with curiosity rather than fear, and to discover how sharing our stories can create connection with others.
