Hi there!

I’m Anastasia. If you’re into fine arts, be it your hobby or future career, I’m here to help!

You may be one of the following:

- A fine arts student looking to get additional guidance
- A recent graduate looking to further hone their skills
- A working artist facing a new challenge or an unfamiliar style
- A self-taught artist looking for more academic training
- Or just a creative person wishing to turn their vision into reality.

I usually prefer the following format:

1. You send in your request
2. We connect to discuss it
3. We begin our lessons

Our lessons are 2 hours long.

If you’re a beginner and have no background in fine arts at all, we may have to cover some theory first.

If you’re interested, do let me know. Or if you have something different in mind – just ask, and I’ll do my best to meet your specific needs. I can promise you my full attention and a very competitive rate.

Nowadays I teach the most of lessons to adults and have successfully prepared students for different art schools and colleges.

The classes are very interactive. The main idea is not to lecture you or do the work for you, but rather help you tap into your creative self and arm you with the right tools to extract your unique ideas!

I try to combine in my teaching process teaching methods from brilliant masters I have met in my life in art colleges and Academy I study in (Pjankov, Dergunov, Bistrov, Denderina) and also from famous Old Teachers of Art (Soviet Art Masters: Crimov, Chistjakov, Kurkov, and European Art School Masters: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio ).

When I teach , I do put myself in my students’ shoes. Also I use MY own art experience as an active fine artist who has faced different topical issues, so that YOUR works can suit modern art contexts.
Extra information
My regular lessons typically run for two hours.

Looking forward to our creative journey together!

About Me
Hi friends!
My name is Anastasia, and I’m an art mentor helping aspiring artists, future art students, and passionate hobbyists develop their artistic skills and reach their creative goals.

Whether you’re preparing for a professional career in art or simply want to enjoy the process of creating, I can help you build strong foundations in drawing, painting, and composition while keeping the learning process engaging, enjoyable, and as frustration-free as possible 😁

I offer three learning paths depending on your goals:

🟡 Fundamentals Program
for building solid artistic foundations through drawing, constructive drawing, form construction, painting, color theory, and composition.

🟡 Portfolio Preparation Program
for students applying to art schools, colleges, specialized art programs, and university art departments.

🟡 Artist Mentorship
for artists who already have a preferred subject matter, style, or artistic direction and want personalized feedback on their work.
Together, we focus on strengthening your artworks, refining techniques, and developing the skills most relevant to your creative practice.

If you’d like to explore which learning path might be right for you, feel free to message me through this platform. I’ll be happy to help you choose the program that best fits your goals, style and current level.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

Portrait Sketching is a skill which you need when who don’t have any idea on what to gift people on their birthday’s. Just kidding.
In this age of digital media, if you still want to learn physical sketching and painting, you have my heart. The worth of a hand drawn sketch or painting is still more.
This class would have basics to advanced techniques of sketching and painting and would require basic pencils, paint and your own brain in the beginning, then we can move to other tools required.
Don’t worry if you haven’t painted or sketched before, the worst that could happen is lot of pages being torn but some might turn out to be abstract which we can sell and then split the money, hahaha! that’s it, rest would be fun.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)
