Atelier Stockholm – The Swedish Academy of Realist Art (SARA) is a fine Art school dedicated to traditional, realistic drawing and painting.
The school uses long-established techniques from the Renaissance, 18th and 19th-century European and Russian academies, as well as contemporary methods to teach its students. Through this demanding training program, students acquire a range of skills that enable them to create personal, contemporary works of art displaying the same level of expertise and craftsmanship that meet the highest standards set centuries ago. SARA is one of only a few serious academies in the world that concentrates on the creation of realistic art.
