Family Paint was inspired by the words of philosopher Alain de Botton regarding the place of art in our lives, and its power to give us hope, offer for solace for our solitude, balance our lives and make us appreciate what truly matters most. In the same manner, Family Paint suggest art plays an important role in all our lives, and presents an energetic, open and inviting art world.
