Leadership
and innovation through art
I believe that the path to a sustainable future begins with sustainable individuals, connected to the world around them and living in the present moment. People capable of questioning themselves and bringing about change.
Art has that power. It reactivates human qualities such as intuition and instinct, allowing for a better understanding of the complexity of our times. This is what will set people apart from machines.
​
Our art is the very root of innovation.

What is
artthinking
Art Thinking aims to develop people's artistic sensitivity and transfer that sensitivity both to the professional and personal spheres, reaching new levels of leadership, critical vision, intuition, and understanding of complexity.
Art Thinking is designed for non-artists from all fields.
From the very first day of the workshop, Art Thinking produces results as a brainstorming tool and for the development of company projects.
By delving deeper into Art Thinking, participants permanently acquire their artistic sensitivity and understanding of its applications.
Why
art thinking
Creating art is an inherent expression of being human, just like laughing or loving. It helps us give shape to our desires and concerns.
In a turbulent and draining world, art is the one thing that truly fulfills. Those who are in tune with their art have better self-awareness, are more whole, critical, and instinctive human beings. They are better equipped to question the world and envision paths to change it.
There is an emerging demand for new ways of living and consuming (think Airbnb or Uber). Only intuitive individuals can identify and capitalize on these trends, and for them, business opportunities are endless.
We believe that Art Thinking contributes to the development of a redefined, more conscious, and sustainable capitalism.
... To compete with machines, we must go beyond knowledge-based education. We need to learn unique things like independent thinking, empathy, and art.

where to EXPERIENCE
art thinking
The ideal setting for Art Thinking activities is off-site, in a tranquil and inspiring location where participants can disconnect from the routine of the corporate world.
In São Paulo, the recommended venue is our headquarters, Parahaus: a house-laboratory and art gallery with 15 years of experience in hosting creative workshops, providing participants with a true immersion in an environment exuding art and innovation.
