Photos of group visits (children and teenagers)
Many groups of well-educated children and teenagers, with so many questions. Some very heartfelt moments and some complex discussions. A great art-class with all the young artists under Eleni Bountoureli’s expert guidance.

Wonderful time preparing with the highly professional staff of the Teloglion Museum. Special thanks to Dimitris Kontakis (technical support) and Nikos Leontaridis (graphic design) for inventing the mechanical device that made one of my paintings turn in such a clever fashion. Greece, mother of invention!
