Lisa Axiotis—Finalist 2019

Paint and Air—Speedpainting the Soul

“It’s Christmas and I’m less than sweet at sixteen. I see a man painting a portrait, but I don’t see a brush. I have no idea how he’s making the shapes form, but he’s spraying a painting, from seemingly nothing. I’m transfixed. I stand there for hours. ”

If you have never seen the way a face can be formed through paint and air, you are in for a treat. Join Lisa Axiotis as she airbrushes live and shares that magic with you. There is nothing like a speedpaint to inspire.
