MetaxArt Kefalonia

MetaxArt Workshops are designed by the artist Natasha Metaxa, an experienced and successful tutor of Visual Arts for more than 30 years, to all ages, abilities and levels. Her disciplines include drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media and computer art. She has taught as Research Fellow at the University of the Aegean, Department of Sciences in the Pre-School Education and Educational Design and in many other institutions. She is an active artist and has given many solo and group exhibitions in Athens, New York, and London.

MetaxArt in Kefalonia is located in Poros, a picturesque village on the southeast coast of the island. As one of Kefalonia’s two main ports and only a 40-minute drive from the international airport, Poros combines accessibility with the charm and beauty of an authentic Greek seaside destination.

MetaxArt Studio is situated in the centre of the village, directly by the seashore, creating an environment where artistic practice naturally blends with the rhythm of summer life. Students paint under the amazing natural light, surrounded by the landscape that inspires them while developing their understanding of painting through observation, experimentation, and personalised guidance.

The workshops combine meaningful artistic education with the experience of a creative holiday, allowing participants to deepen their knowledge of painting, strengthen their technical and creative skills, and expand their artistic practice while enjoying the unique atmosphere, beauty, and pace of the Greek summer. Students can take a walk by the sea, swim, rest, enjoy lunch, and return refreshed to continue their artistic exploration.

MetaxArt is an educational art space and the summer studio of established artist Natasha Metaxa. Specialising in art education and training, MetaxArt organises painting workshops attended by students from around the world.

Whether beginners, art students, or accomplished artists, participants are welcomed into an inspiring learning environment where teaching is adapted to individual abilities, goals, and experience, allowing every student to progress at their own pace while receiving personalised guidance and support.

MetaxArt welcomes participants of different ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience who share an interest in painting and visual expression.

The courses are suitable for beginners building strong foundations, students and professionals wishing to expand their artistic skills, practising artists seeking to deepen their knowledge, and individuals returning to painting after years away from creative practice.

Whether painting is approached professionally, academically, or simply as a meaningful creative activity, teaching is adapted to support each student’s individual goals and artistic development.
