About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
A naturalist painter, author of numerous books devoted to the great natural regions of the planet, also an engraver and sculptor. Born in 1958 in France, living in Geneva, Eric is a gold medalist for French animal artists, laureate of the Fondation de la Vocation, member of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators of the United States.His painted works employ a variety of techniques, including watercolor, ink, drawing, and oil and acrylic paint. Some large works also use gold leaf. We can apply Cézanne's phrase to this artist: "It is not so much nature that interests me as the forces of nature." By contemplating and studying the animals, the flora and the landscape, Eric shares a look that is both poetic and realistic on the wild world - a look that challenges man and his often irresponsible behavior towards the environment, because it has become insensitive. Some magnificent portraits of inhabitants of the regions visited or details of the historical heritage extend and complete the evocation of the world of the mountains or the desert. Certain oriental inspirations as well as the influence of lyrical abstraction give to his representations of wild life, with its forms and rhythms, a singular intensity and depth. The line, like the colors, magnifies the fruit of patient observation, both by bringing it back to the essential and by projecting it elsewhere.
His works have been the subject of several exhibitions, notably at the Natural History Museums of Geneva and Paris. They are present in public and private collections.

MY PRACTICE
My support is adapted to the specific needs of each child in a caring and supportive environment, and is based on the methods of:
- art therapy and the expressive creative process
- medical relaxation techniques (RPMJ, autogenic training, visualizations, breathing techniques, etc.)
- Montessori pedagogy
- the psychological theory of transactional analysis
- the methodology of British paediatrician and psychoanalyst Dr Donald Winnicott
Creative techniques used include acrylic painting, oil painting, zentangle drawing, watercolour, watercolour pastels and pencils, mix-media, collage, structure paste, monotype printing using linocut, gel plates, stencils and stamps, scrapbooking, creative journal, crochet, weaving....
MY COMPETENCIES
I have trained in art therapy, relaxation and stress management techniques, and transactional analysis and possess a diploma as a Montessori teacher.
I have been an art therapist for 10 years, working in schools, institutions and private homes. I support children and adults. Currently, I am developing my activity in my private studio in Saint-Jean in Geneva.
I also possess a bachelor in science (Swiss engineering school) in the field of multimedia, as well as a DAS in visual communication. Subsequently, I held manager positions public organisations and private companies.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.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.

Drawing and Painting Lessons: Developing Your Unique Visual LanguagePainting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.
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.
Idris
Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic languageI 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 :)

Art of the Imagination - Drawing for Youth/BeginnersThe skills you learn through drawing can help you in many other aspects of life. In this course you will learn how to look closer at objects, identify proportions, and apply your own style onto your artwork. My course introduces form and structure to younger students, and by the end of each class the student will have created a beautiful artwork. We will take inspiration from the student's interests for drawing subjects. My ultimate goal with this course is to inspire a passion for drawing.

Classical drawing and painting techniques for beginners and advanced I teach (one-on-one) in my studio and online(internationally)covering painting and drawing techniques for beginners, advanced students, and aspiring art school applicants.
I have a series of significant artistic achievements, having been awarded in the most prestigious international figurative art competitions—competitions that value study, hard work, and knowledge. I have studied art throughout my life and I always strive to reach a high level of performance, with the goal of passing on everything I have learned at the highest standard.
Throughout my career, I have helped many individuals push their limits and improve their artistic techniques—some doing it as a hobby, others achieving exceptional results in the entrance exams for art and architecture universities.
These courses are personalized for any level and age, following a systematic process. Topics include: portraiture, the human figure, anatomy, still life, landscapes, the science of light and shadow, drawing/painting techniques, color theory, perspective, design, etc.
I am also open to collaborations for workshops in any city—art classes on various themes such as classical and realistic, impressionist, or even modern approaches, all based on principles learned from Old Masters’ techniques. These are systems and procedures taught only in Florence, where I also studied for a period. These techniques are not commonly known or practiced in schools in Romania.
Since a portfolio is important in showcasing the level of an art teacher, you can view examples (drawings, paintings) from my personal portfolio and a description of my career on my website, tusaiart.
Another important point is that I offer strictly one-on-one teaching sessions—not group lessons with 5–10 students per session.
Over 10 years of teaching experience
Extensive experience in the field of art: I started working with pencil and brush in kindergarten, and for nearly 30 years I have continued to practice this passion intensively, always aiming to become one of the best in the field.

Visual Arts: digital arts, oil and acrylic painting, and drawingEvery class is suited towards your skill level and needs.
If you're interested in digital art, you can learn how to create digital arts using Krita, a free digital arts software that I highly recommend for it's tools and features similar to that of Photoshop's. If you already experimented on your own software, I will help you with rendering, anatomy, and composition.
If you're interested in painting, I can provide materials if needed. I am experienced with both oil painting and acrylic painting. I can help you create both Fine Arts, or illustration.
About me:
Hello, my name is Jacey and I'm currently attending NYU to get my certification to teach visual arts K-12.
The reason I want to become an art teacher is to help students develop their own style. Everybody has their own habits and tendencies when making art, and I want to help you thrive using your own style– or, if you want to become the master of realism and copying, I can help with that too. Every artists has their own goals!
I also believe in creating art as a way of a stress-reliever. If you'd like to do your own thing while having someone to listen to, I can create art by your side and talk about you!

Online drawing course for children aged 5 to 12 yearsOnline course via Zoom or Google
Come on, let me tell you what are the benefits of drawing for children at this young age?
Drawing is beneficial for children's mental health. It is an ideal activity for developing their motor and mental skills and enhancing their exploratory, psychological and emotional growth.
- It increases children's ability to interact naturally without caring about other people's opinions about the drawings they draw.
-It eliminates the constant feeling of shyness and increases self-confidence.
- Enhances the mind's ability to communicate with others without using words.
