The Art world is ruthless—it chews up and spits out anyone who’s merely good. If you don’t have something to say, you’re out.
It’s not about making flawless paintings. It’s about knowing why you make them and what the hell you’re delivering through them.
The world admires the courage of artists. But it couldn’t care less about the hard work of good students.
Yet most people hover in the safe zone—hoarding courses, tutorials, more technique, more excuses.
Stuck in the endless student phase. Never crossing the line. Never risking anything.
And they vanish.
Gradually more invisible.
Indistinguishable.
Know why?
Because they don’t know why they paint.
Because they have no clue what to do with the technique they worked so hard to master.
You feel it, don’t you?
That itch, that weight,
that question hanging in the dark—
What the hell am I trying to say?
Because if you don’t know, they sure as hell won’t either.
And you get stuck.
Not for lack of skill,
not for lack of work,
but for lack of guts.
You get stuck because you don’t know what to do with what you really know.
And you think the answer is to learn more, trapping yourself in a vicious cycle you can never escape.
For god’s sake—after a lifetime of evolving, why stop there?
The real fun is just beyond that next level.
Capisci? Capisci.
The ones who know why they create… live off their art.
Period.
Free. Bold.
Imperfect, but unforgettable.
You’ve seen it.
I’ve seen it.
The world loves strong, free artists—not just people who paint pretty pictures.
That’s the truth. Own it.
Painting is the instrument, not the music.
And musicians don’t throw instruments at the audience, do they?
So stop throwing paintings around. Let’s get your ideas straight.
LET’S GET YOU UNSTUCK.
We unlock artists.
This isn’t a retreat.
It isn’t a school.
It’s a reckoning.
It’s a fortress on a real Quarantine Island. A walled refuge for cursed artists ready to break down and rebuild.
Quarantine isn’t for everyone.
It’s exhausting and intense. But if you’re ready, it’s like nothing else out there:
If you want technique, stay where you are.
If you’re ready to face yourself, get quarantined.
Art schools teach you the HOW.
We focus on the WHY.
We don’t teach tricks.
We push you to confront your fears, unlearn what’s restraining you, and rediscover the fire that makes you create.
Admission is curated
The program is secret
Phones are prohibited
No phones.
No distractions.
No jerks.
No easy way out.
Just you, your art, and a private island along with a community of kindred spirits whose faces you’ll certainly remember.
Oh, and our only gimmick, free beer.
And good vibes.
And sweat.
And tears, the whole ride.
We turn hindering ideas into tools and set you free from the baggage of your training.
We won’t teach you to be a good student.
We’ll push you to be a good artist.
We won’t kiss up to you.
But by the end, you’ll leave stronger, sharper.
What happens here will probably change you.
Many artists have tattooed our logo.
One artist has said Quarantine wasn’t worth it.
The rest?
They found the transformation they didn’t know they needed.
This October, the island will host mentors who’ve walked the fire.
You’ll work alongside:
JAW Cooper Vincent Desiderio Ruprecht von Kaufmann Laurie Lipton Edward Povey Tania Rivilis Yasha Young
The investment is €3,500
For some, it’s fair.
For others, it’s steep.
For the right person, it’s priceless.
Aaaand here come the excuses:
"I’m not good enough."
"It’s too expensive."
"Wait, the program is secret?"
"What if it’s not for me?"
"Bet they’ll burn a ton of incense."
Ok, take a breath.
We’ve heard them all.
We don’t buy a single one.
Listen.
You’re not afraid that it’s NOT for you.
You’re afraid that it IS.
Which means you’re onto something.
We unlock artists.
And we’re alarmingly good at it.
Apply. If you pass our filter, pay 30% upfront, and we’ll work out the rest.
The island awaits.
