Topic of the workshop: Creative expansion. A gift from Budapest, Rome, Dresden to Riga.

Expansion is a very broad and comprehensive concept, a fundamental way and condition of existence. Any form of life is a constant expansion physical and mental. As a growing organism expands in space, as it develops spiritually, we expand into the spiritual space. The work of an artist is an expansion by definition; we fill the world around us with our works.
