Stop battling with the brush — and start painting with ease and pleasure.
The Expressive Path
A journey for painters in search of clarity, confidence, and inspiration.
Unapologetically you.
Express freely. Paint with confidence.
For painters who want to develop their own authentic style with confidence.
Break through creative blocks, refine your technique, and feel inspired in your practice.
Hi, I’m Julia Evangeli — painter, coach, and guide for artists on their expressive path.
I help painters develop real confidence in their own unique style, combining classical training with mindset tools that spark clarity and momentum.
Whether you’re just starting out or years into your journey, I work with artists who feel blocked, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.
The expressive path
Every artist is completely unique.
The Expressive Path is not a one-size-fits-all — it’s a personal journey, shaped around your needs, your style, and where you are right now.
Whether you’re a beginner picking up a brush for the first time or a more experienced painter feeling stuck, I meet you exactly where you are and guide you forward.
Together, we create a process that works for you — so you can develop your skills, trust your instincts, and paint in a way that feels completely your own.
My approach blends solid painting skills across a range of styles and mediums with deep, intuitive exploration.
The philosophy behind my work integrates both expression and structure. It’s about learning the skills and tools you need to create while also overcoming the emotional blocks that hinder your creativity.
And above all, it’s based around PLEASURE. Painting should be a joy.
A peaceful space to paint, breathe, and begin again.
A Creative Escape in the Heart of Spain — and Online, Wherever You Are
Hidden away in the quiet valley village of Benidoleig, Alicante, my studio offers a gentle pause from the everyday — a place to reconnect, express, and create. It’s a warm, welcoming space filled with colour, music, and the occasional cat curled up beside your easel.
Experience the pleasure of painting
This is your time.
My sessions aren’t about everyone producing the same work. Each artist is unique, and my job is to bring out your individual style, help you find your voice, and make you feel confident in what you create.
Styles, Subjects and mediums
With years of experience and training, I work with a variety of subjects and mediums, including portraits, landscapes, abstracts, and figurative work.
In my classes, we primarily use oils, acrylics, mixed media, inks, and watercolours.
I teach the process of painting—YOUR process of painting. Once you understand this concept, you can apply it to any medium or subject matter.

Learning fundamental techniques is crucial, and we cover a lot of that!
My goal is to help you discover your unique style and find the subjects and materials you truly love.
In addition to technique, I’m also a fully certified life coach, so I can guide you through the emotional side of creating, with a focus on mindset and confidence.
Expression vs structure
I’ve always believed that great painting comes from the balance between the head and the heart. It’s not all wild mark-making, and it’s not just technical drills either. One without the other leaves something missing. I teach both — structure that supports your expression, and expression that gives life to your structure. It’s in the middle, where these two meet, that your true voice starts to emerge.
Some artists need strong foundations. Others need help letting go. Many need both. Together, we create a process that works for you — so you can develop your skills, trust your instincts, and paint in a way that feels completely your own.

About Me
I’m Julia Evangeli — a British-born painter of Greek Cypriot heritage, based in the quiet village of Benidoleig, Spain.
First and foremost, I’m a painter.
My practice is rooted in bold, expressive mark-making and soulful, intuitive painting. I create original works, take on bespoke commissions, and sell my art to collectors across the world.
I studied Fine Art at Camberwell and Brighton, and after relocating to Spain over 18 years ago, I founded a creative studio where I could both paint and teach. Since then, I’ve worked with hundreds of students through workshops, retreats, and mentoring — offering guidance that blends technique with creative freedom.
Alongside my art practice, I’m also a certified coach, helping artists and aspiring creatives reconnect with their confidence, authenticity, and inner voice. My approach is intuitive and down-to-earth, with a strong focus on personal expression over perfection.
Over the past 16 years, my studio has also become a space for teaching and mentoring. Alongside my painting practice, I offer classes, workshops, and one-to-one sessions — helping others explore their own creative voice in an open, expressive way.
As a certified coach, I combine artistic development with personal growth, supporting students of all levels to build confidence, reconnect with their creativity, and paint with freedom and authenticity.
My work is inspired by a rich family lineage of artistry, music, and mysticism — and everything I offer is grounded in one guiding principle: expression.
