About us
The Salon der Kuenste
Inspired by an old idea: the salon as a social space. A confluence of thought, art, and living.

Your Host
Patrick Castellani
My task is to unite place, people, and time. After thirty years spent at many tables, I see my role as curator: holding the space, guarding the silence. This ensures that the exchange with our masters leads to what the Salon is about—depth, clarity, and a sense of fullness in one's own work.
Time for one’s own
"I returned home with a new sense of clarity and calm—and the courage to let the unfinished be, without the urge to solve it immediately. Since then, the way I work has shifted: slower, more precise—and closer to what is truly mine."
Patrick K., Participant
A space where evolution takes hold
"Inge H. Schmidt is both artist and mentor: she possesses the gift of both clarity and inspiration, knowing firsthand the friction of the creative process. To create with Inge is to reach far beyond mere technique. She has the ability to unlock deeper layers of potential in those who learn from her. This is what makes her an exceptional guide."
Fabian N., Participant
Watching the work evolve
"I experienced Inge providing exactly the right guidance and opening up spaces with such empathy and intuition—tools I could truly work with. From one canvas to the next, I watched my painting transform—and before long, I simply couldn’t get enough of it."
Sabine K., Participant
