Renaissance in Nature
After the great success of our Renaissance-themed online drawing session in collaboration with Andrea Morani, we are thrilled to bring this captivating theme to the heart of Mediterranean in Sardinia, where art, history, and nature merge in perfect harmony.
This year’s retreat introduces an exciting twist: a fusion of the classical Renaissance with Sardinian aesthetics and nature.
Bound by over a decade of friendship and artistic collaboration, Claudio and Andrea will lead you through thoughtfully crafted sessions designed to explore the movement, balance, and emotion so central to Renaissance art. Their presence will bring the classical spirit to life—now, with a uniquely Sardinian twist.
Throughout the retreat, we’ll explore these themes in open-air sessions, surrounded by the dramatic beauty of Sardinia’s coastline and countryside. Each day will be filled with life drawing, creative exchanges, and local cultural activities, offering a deep dive into Italian art history and your own creative practice.
Whether you’re an experienced artist or a passionate beginner, this is a chance to refine your style, learn from the masters, and reconnect with your artistic voice—all in a warm, relaxed, and supportive environment.
✨ Join us for a week of art, discovery, and beauty in one of the Mediterranean’s most magical settings. We can’t wait to draw with you.

The models
For the third edition of Life Drawing Holiday “Renaissance in Nature” you will have the rare opportunuty to draw and paint two incredible professional models together: Claudio and Andrea Morani.
Claudio is an actor, a dancer, and a life model.
For over 16 years, he has been passionately and dedicatedly working as a model. He travels across Europe and has worked with hundreds of drawing classes and private artists. “Being an actor and a dancer enriches my background and brings depth and athleticism to my work as a model. One of the things I love most is interacting with artists, collaborating on their creations, and helping them bring their work to life in the best possible way. I am confident that we will have a wonderful week together”.
Andrea Morani is a multidisciplinary artist with a twenty-year journey as an art model for some of the most prominent contemporary figurative painters, his artistic evolution has led him to explore photographic self-portraiture as a form of identity reclamation.
“My work is deeply influenced by themes of vulnerability, transformation, and reconciliation with the self, drawing inspiration from my own inner journey”.

The designer
Francesca, but everyone calls her “frafro”, feel free to do the same 🙂
Architect and designer by training, in life she likes to experiment and create unexpected connections.
She’s passionate about everything that has to do with creativity and problem solving, even when it comes to cooking or cultivating a vegetable garden.
“During the life drawing holiday in Cabras I will do my best to take care of the participants during the day together from shared meals to free time to the evening sessions and aperitif and I will be available for any logistical and artistic request: just ask.”
