Who We Are
La Mirabile Fucina is an art dojo — a living space where the practice of drawing and painting is never an end in itself, but a path of inner transformation.
A contemporary workshop that gathers and passes on the teachings of the great Italian masters — from Michelangelo to Caravaggio — to bring back to life a deep, ancient knowledge rooted in the body.
We don’t chase personal style as an expression of ego, but as the inevitable result of sincere research, of a discipline that is both free and burning.
We believe in the kind of effort that educates the gaze, in slowness as a creative force, in the grace that rises only after a thousand falls.
Here, all levels are welcome — from absolute beginners to experienced practitioners. But one question remains for everyone:
Are you willing to let art transform you?
The pictorial path is for those who feel a deep calling — for those who cannot not create.
The painter is like a monk: obeying an inner voice, a vision that longs to take shape.
To paint becomes a vital act, almost physiological: if you listen, it gives you joy; if you don’t, it leaves you with emptiness.
The path of drawing is the foundation, the training ground, a gradual journey where — like in a dojo — you grow through rigor, practice, and symbolic “belts” — from beginner to advanced — no shortcuts, no leaps.
La Mirabile Fucina is a community grounded in humanistic values,
where the human being — with all their questions, doubts, fears, and uncertainties — is at the center.
