PAINT WITH PANOS K – LILOPAS™
A PRIVATE ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE IN THE HEART OF OIA
Discover Santorini through the eyes of Panos K – LILOPAS™, a globally best-selling, self-taught artist, in the intimate surroundings of Domus K 1885.
Designed as a private and personal artistic experience, this 1.5 - 2 hour encounter offers a rare opportunity to create alongside Panos while surrounded by the beauty, history and atmosphere of Oia.
Panos’ approach is instinctive and expressive. Rather than following rigid techniques, he promotes each guest to discover their own relationship with colour, movement and emotion. His guidance is gentle and personal, making the experience equally enjoyable for experienced artists and complete beginners.
All materials are provided by Domus K 1885. Take your time, enjoy the surroundings and, if you wish, accompany the experience with a glass of carefully selected local wine.
Most importantly, you leave with more than a painting. You leave with an original piece created by you - and a personal memory of Santorini that cannot be bought in any gallery.
A. PAINT THE SOUL OF SANTORINI
Your personal interpretation of Oia
Capture the extraordinary light, colours and character of Santorini in your own way. Inspired by the iconic architecture, blue domes, Aegean Sea and dramatic landscape of Oia, Panos will guide you through the creation of your own Santorini-inspired canvas.
You will learn to observe the island differently - not simply reproducing what you see, but translating its atmosphere and beauty onto your canvas. The result is entirely personal: your Santorini, painted by you.
B. PAINT FROM WITHIN
An Exploration of Colour, Emotion & Expression
For a more personal and expressive experience, step away from traditional representation and allow your creativity to lead. Guided by Panos, you will explore colour, texture, movement and emotion, creating intuitively rather than following a predetermined image.
There are no rules and no expectations. The canvas becomes your space to experiment, express and discover. Set within the tranquil surroundings of Domus K 1885, this is an opportunity to pause, reconnect with your creativity and create something deeply personal.
YOUR SANTORINI. YOUR ART. YOUR MEMORY.
A private encounter with a globally best-selling artist, an authentic Santorini setting and a work of art created entirely by you.
An experience to remember - and a piece of Santorini to take home.
Accessibility & Mobility Information
While Santorini is a beautiful destination, some areas of the island can be challenging for visitors with limited mobility. Many towns, particularly in traditional villages such as Oia and Fira, were built long before modern accessibility standards. As a result, visitors may encounter:
-
Cobblestone streets, which can be uneven or slippery
-
Numerous staircases, sometimes without any railings and/or continuous railings
-
Steep inclines and narrow walkways
-
Limited vehicle access in pedestrian-only areas
-
Steps between terraces, shops, and viewpoints
For guests with mobility limitations, walking difficulties, or those using wheelchairs, some locations may be difficult to access.
We recommend:
-
Wearing comfortable, supportive footwear
-
Allowing extra time for walking
-
Contacting us in advance if you would like guidance on more accessible areas of the island
We are happy to help recommend routes, viewpoints, and locations that may be easier to navigate.
