Inga Chalaia is the artist and educator behind Dolce Arty. She holds a Master's degree in Art History and has taught guided painting sessions in homes, offices and venues across Dubai since 2023, in English, Russian and Georgian.
Every Dolce Arty session is taught by Inga herself. She plans the artwork around the group, arrives with all the materials, and guides each person from a blank canvas to a finished painting in about two hours. Her clients range from a single beginner painting for the first time since school to corporate teams of more than a hundred people painting one mural together.
The idea behind Dolce Arty is simple: Dubai traffic, heat and busy schedules make studio classes hard to keep up, so the class should come to you. Inga built the business around that, and around the belief that everyone has an inner artist waiting for the right guide.
Sessions are structured so that a complete beginner finishes with a painting they want to hang, not a rough exercise. Inga sketches the composition in advance, demonstrates each stage on her own canvas, and then works around the room adjusting colour mixing, brushwork and proportion per person. Children get simpler steps and smaller canvases; adults get more freedom with palette and detail. Nobody is left behind and nobody is rushed.
Inga teaches natively in Russian and Georgian as well as English, which makes Dolce Arty one of the few in-home art options in Dubai for Russian-speaking families, friend groups and companies who want instruction in their own language. Mixed-language groups are common and work well: the demonstration is visual, and Inga switches between languages as she moves around the room. The Russian version of this site is at dolcearty.com/ru.
