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.

These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.

Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.

The objective of this training is to be able to:

- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity

(...)

Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
- As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

Turn your trades into victories!

Whether it's to negotiate a contract or remuneration, defend an idea, advance a project, start a business, convince a partner, gain the support of a team, resolve a conflict or simply make yourself better understood, one thing can make all the difference: knowing who you are dealing with and how to communicate with that person.

Because there is no single way to communicate effectively.

The same method won't work for everyone. A rational person isn't persuaded in the same way as an emotional one. A cautious person doesn't react like an ambitious one. A decision-maker, a colleague, a client, an investor, a partner, or a loved one doesn't have the same expectations, motivations, or interests.

The goal is therefore to learn to observe, understand, analyze and adapt your communication in order to deploy the right tool, the right method and the right strategy, at the right time and in front of the right person.

➤ Understanding humans to communicate better

Our way of communicating relies largely on understanding certain mechanisms of human psychology.

Human beings are naturally attentive to what directly concerns them. They are sensitive to their interests, needs, fears, curiosity, recognition, need for security, and desire to be understood and valued.

The idea is therefore not simply to say what you have to say, but to understand:
-How can you make your interlocutor want to listen to you?
-How can you present your message so that it makes sense to him?
-How to spark their interest?
-How can we address his concerns before he even expresses them?
-How to create a dynamic favorable to your objective?

For example, rather than immediately presenting an idea solely from your own perspective, you will learn to identify what may interest your interlocutor and to build your communication around their concerns.

A phrase like, "What I'm about to explain could be of real interest to you, particularly because..." can capture more attention than a simple presentation focused solely on your own needs. But the techniques, tools, and methods of the modules studied together obviously go far beyond that.

Similarly, understanding certain mechanisms such as curiosity, self-interest, recognition, trust, consistency, emotion, or risk perception allows for a more relevant and effective approach.

➤ Profiling & analysis of interlocutors
Before communicating effectively, you must first understand who you are addressing.
You will learn to analyze your interlocutor through different elements:
✔️ His way of communicating
✔️ His priorities and interests
✔️ His motivations
✔️ His needs and expectations
✔️ His potential resistances and objections
✔️ His decision-making process
✔️ His relationship with risk
✔️ His personal or professional stakes
✔️ The verbal and non-verbal signals he can express
✔️ What can promote or hinder its adoption

The goal: to no longer communicate automatically or identically with everyone.
You will learn to adapt your speech, posture, arguments, questions and strategy depending on the person you are facing.

➤ Advance your projects and ambitions
-Do you have a project?
-Do you want to create a company, launch an activity, advance in your organization, defend an idea, obtain the agreement of a decision-maker or make several people or departments collaborate?
-A project is not based solely on its quality.
-It also depends on your ability to:
✔️ Identify the right contacts
✔️ Understand the interests of each stakeholder
✔️ Knowing how to approach each person
✔️ Adapt your communication according to the department or function
✔️ Present your project from the angle most relevant to each individual
✔️ Anticipate objections and resistance
✔️ Create alliances and gain support
✔️ Negotiate effectively when interests diverge
✔️ Knowing when to insist, when to rephrase, when to wait, or when to change approach

-The same project may require several communication strategies depending on the person you are addressing.

-The goal is to give you the necessary tools to understand this dynamic and to move your project forward with more method, strategy and efficiency.

➤ Negotiation: much more than defending one's position
Whether it's for negotiating:
-A contract
-A remuneration
-A partnership
-A budget
-A strategic project
-Career progression
-A decision
-Or resolve a conflict

Negotiation is not just about finding good arguments.
It also involves understanding:
-Who is in front of you.
-What he really wants.
-What he stands to gain.
-What he is trying to avoid.
-What are his interests?
-What are its constraints?
-And what strategy can create a favorable outcome?

➤ On the agenda: support tailored to your objectives

Psychology of communication & understanding of behaviors
-Understanding some fundamental mechanisms of human psychology
-Identify the needs, motivations and interests of your interlocutors
-Understanding why some approaches work with some people and fail with others
-Use interest, curiosity, recognition, trust and other communication levers
-Craft a message that makes people want to listen

Profiling and analysis of interlocutors
-Observe and analyze how a person communicates
-Identify your priorities and your way of working
-Detect potential resistance and objections
-Understanding verbal and behavioral signals
-Adapt your strategy to the person and the context

Persuasive communication
-Formulate your arguments with impact
-To promote your ideas so that they are considered
-Structuring a convincing speech
-Ask the right questions
-Create interest and engagement
-Adapt your language and your approach
-Develop your ability to persuade without engaging in unnecessary power struggles

Strategic negotiation
-Identify and utilize negotiation levers: alternatives, common interests, concessions, and room for maneuver
-Preparing effectively for a negotiation
-Anticipate different scenarios
-Identify the interests and positions of stakeholders
-Build a suitable strategy
-Managing objections and deadlock situations
-Knowing how to evolve a discussion when the initial strategy is not working
-Maximize your chances of reaching a favorable agreement

Project strategy & support
-Clarify your objective and your strategy
-Identify the different stages and priorities
-Understanding who to interact with and in what order
-Prepare your discussions with the various stakeholders
-Adapt your communication according to the departments, partners or decision-makers
-Prepare for your important appointments
-Anticipate difficulties and resistance
-Deploy the most relevant tools and methods according to each step

Conflict management and complex situations
-Understanding the mechanisms that give rise to a conflict
-Identify the real issues behind the positions expressed
-Manage your emotions and those of the person you are speaking with
-Develop active and strategic listening
-Moving beyond unnecessary power struggles
-Regaining control of a difficult exchange
-Find constructive and sustainable solutions

➤ The right tool, at the right time, with the right person
This is one of the central principles of this support. Knowing a technique is not enough.

But first, you need to know:
-When to use it.
-With whom.
-In what context?
-And in what a way.

The same technique can be extremely effective with one person and totally counterproductive with another.

You will therefore learn to develop a true strategic reading of interactions, so that you no longer act solely on intuition, but understand the dynamics at play and consciously choose your approach.

➤ Tailored support

This program is aimed particularly at:

-Entrepreneurs and project leaders
-Business leaders and executives
Managers and executives
-Young professionals
Self-employed individuals and professionals
People wishing to advance within their company
Anyone with a project, ambition, or goal to achieve
Anyone wishing to improve their relationships and communication in a personal setting

Each support program is tailored to your specific situation and concrete objectives.

We can work directly on your projects, negotiations, appointments, relationship difficulties, or professional situations.

The goal is not simply to learn concepts.

You learn how to use them practically in your own life.

➤ A practical, engaging, and results-oriented teaching approach

We alternate methodological input, analysis of real situations, role-playing, simulations, preparation of your discussions and personalized feedback.

You can bring:

-A project to be developed.
-A negotiation to prepare for.
-An important appointment.
-A conflict to be resolved.
-A difficult person to manage.
-An idea worth defending.
-A business to launch.
-Or simply an ambition you wish to realize.

Let's analyze the situation together:

-What is your objective?
-Who are the relevant stakeholders?
-What are their interests and what is at stake?
-What obstacles might arise?
-What strategy should we adopt?
-What approach should be used?
-Which arguments should be prioritized?
-What tools should be deployed?
-And most importantly: at what point?

➤ Become a strategic communicator

The goal of this support is to enable you to develop a skill that will serve you in all areas of your life:

-Understanding people.
-Understanding the situations.
-Understanding the issues.
-Then adapt your communication and strategy to achieve your objectives.

Whether you are setting up a project, developing a business, advancing professionally, negotiating an opportunity or managing a complex personal situation, you will have concrete methods, tools and strategies to communicate with greater impact, intelligence and efficiency.

Stop letting your projects, ideas, or ambitions depend solely on your intuition. Learn to understand people, decode situations, and deploy the right strategy at the right time to advance what truly matters to you.

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 :)

Do you struggle to identify styles, artists, and works? Do you feel overwhelmed by the number of dates, movements, and characteristics to memorize? I will help you study Art History in a clear, visual, and understandable way, placing the works within their historical, cultural, and social context.

I offer private Art History lessons for high school and university students, as well as support for students who need to reinforce knowledge related to art, culture and the Humanities.

My goal is not for you to memorize a list of styles and characteristics, but rather to learn to observe a work of art, identify its main elements, analyze it, and relate it to its era and context. In this way, the study of art becomes meaningful, and it becomes much easier to remember and understand the material.

How can I help you?
Art History for High School.
Support in university subjects related to Art History and Humanities.
Exam preparation and subject recovery.
Study and understanding of the main artistic styles and movements.
Architecture, sculpture and painting.
Analysis and commentary on works of art.
Identification of characteristics, authors, periods and styles.
Preparation of comments and image analysis.
Historical, cultural and social contextualization of the works.
Organization of extensive syllabi and study techniques.
Preparation of academic papers and presentations.

I hold a degree in Humanities, with a broad and multidisciplinary background in History, Philosophy, Art, Culture, and Thought. I also have a teaching degree and teaching experience, which allows me to adapt both the content and the way I explain it to the level and needs of each student.

My background in the humanities allows me to approach art not as an isolated succession of works and styles, but as an expression of each society and each era. We will understand what is represented, how it is represented, and, above all, why it is done in that way.

Drawing is an essential practice for whomever wants to explore themselves through visualizing and recording the cognitive, perceptive, emotive, associative and intellective processes of the person.

In this class we do all of that, drawing in and out of ourselves. Conversation, feedback and critique based.
Possible to provide notions on different drawing materials, tools and surfaces as well as art historical and contemporary references. But most of the work is done in the process and through exchange.

The student will develop an open approach and critical position towards drawing and its deeper relation to the self and communication.

Are you developing an art portfolio, preparing an application, or trying to understand where to take your artistic practice next?

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of international experience in exhibitions, residencies, research and teaching. I offer individual mentoring for students, emerging artists and established practitioners who want to develop a stronger, more coherent and personal body of work.

Sessions can focus on portfolio development, selecting and editing work, developing concepts, identifying recurring interests, strengthening your artistic voice, researching references, writing about your work and preparing applications for art schools, BA/BFA and MFA programmes, residencies, grants, exhibitions and other professional opportunities.

We can also work together if you feel stuck, disconnected from your practice or unsure how to move from isolated works or ideas toward a meaningful body of work.

My approach combines close discussion of your work with contemporary art, art history, critical references and practical strategies. I do not impose a particular style or aesthetic. The aim is to help you understand what is already distinctive in your work and develop it with greater clarity, depth and confidence.

Mentoring is available in English or Portuguese and is adapted to your individual goals and stage of development.

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.

These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.

Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.

The objective of this training is to be able to:

- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity

(...)

Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.

Turn your trades into victories!

Whether it's to negotiate a contract or remuneration, defend an idea, advance a project, start a business, convince a partner, gain the support of a team, resolve a conflict or simply make yourself better understood, one thing can make all the difference: knowing who you are dealing with and how to communicate with that person.

Because there is no single way to communicate effectively.

The same method won't work for everyone. A rational person isn't persuaded in the same way as an emotional one. A cautious person doesn't react like an ambitious one. A decision-maker, a colleague, a client, an investor, a partner, or a loved one doesn't have the same expectations, motivations, or interests.

The goal is therefore to learn to observe, understand, analyze and adapt your communication in order to deploy the right tool, the right method and the right strategy, at the right time and in front of the right person.

➤ Understanding humans to communicate better

Our way of communicating relies largely on understanding certain mechanisms of human psychology.

Human beings are naturally attentive to what directly concerns them. They are sensitive to their interests, needs, fears, curiosity, recognition, need for security, and desire to be understood and valued.

The idea is therefore not simply to say what you have to say, but to understand:
-How can you make your interlocutor want to listen to you?
-How can you present your message so that it makes sense to him?
-How to spark their interest?
-How can we address his concerns before he even expresses them?
-How to create a dynamic favorable to your objective?

For example, rather than immediately presenting an idea solely from your own perspective, you will learn to identify what may interest your interlocutor and to build your communication around their concerns.

A phrase like, "What I'm about to explain could be of real interest to you, particularly because..." can capture more attention than a simple presentation focused solely on your own needs. But the techniques, tools, and methods of the modules studied together obviously go far beyond that.

Similarly, understanding certain mechanisms such as curiosity, self-interest, recognition, trust, consistency, emotion, or risk perception allows for a more relevant and effective approach.

➤ Profiling & analysis of interlocutors
Before communicating effectively, you must first understand who you are addressing.
You will learn to analyze your interlocutor through different elements:
✔️ His way of communicating
✔️ His priorities and interests
✔️ His motivations
✔️ His needs and expectations
✔️ His potential resistances and objections
✔️ His decision-making process
✔️ His relationship with risk
✔️ His personal or professional stakes
✔️ The verbal and non-verbal signals he can express
✔️ What can promote or hinder its adoption

The goal: to no longer communicate automatically or identically with everyone.
You will learn to adapt your speech, posture, arguments, questions and strategy depending on the person you are facing.

➤ Advance your projects and ambitions
-Do you have a project?
-Do you want to create a company, launch an activity, advance in your organization, defend an idea, obtain the agreement of a decision-maker or make several people or departments collaborate?
-A project is not based solely on its quality.
-It also depends on your ability to:
✔️ Identify the right contacts
✔️ Understand the interests of each stakeholder
✔️ Knowing how to approach each person
✔️ Adapt your communication according to the department or function
✔️ Present your project from the angle most relevant to each individual
✔️ Anticipate objections and resistance
✔️ Create alliances and gain support
✔️ Negotiate effectively when interests diverge
✔️ Knowing when to insist, when to rephrase, when to wait, or when to change approach

-The same project may require several communication strategies depending on the person you are addressing.

-The goal is to give you the necessary tools to understand this dynamic and to move your project forward with more method, strategy and efficiency.

➤ Negotiation: much more than defending one's position
Whether it's for negotiating:
-A contract
-A remuneration
-A partnership
-A budget
-A strategic project
-Career progression
-A decision
-Or resolve a conflict

Negotiation is not just about finding good arguments.
It also involves understanding:
-Who is in front of you.
-What he really wants.
-What he stands to gain.
-What he is trying to avoid.
-What are his interests?
-What are its constraints?
-And what strategy can create a favorable outcome?

➤ On the agenda: support tailored to your objectives

Psychology of communication & understanding of behaviors
-Understanding some fundamental mechanisms of human psychology
-Identify the needs, motivations and interests of your interlocutors
-Understanding why some approaches work with some people and fail with others
-Use interest, curiosity, recognition, trust and other communication levers
-Craft a message that makes people want to listen

Profiling and analysis of interlocutors
-Observe and analyze how a person communicates
-Identify your priorities and your way of working
-Detect potential resistance and objections
-Understanding verbal and behavioral signals
-Adapt your strategy to the person and the context

Persuasive communication
-Formulate your arguments with impact
-To promote your ideas so that they are considered
-Structuring a convincing speech
-Ask the right questions
-Create interest and engagement
-Adapt your language and your approach
-Develop your ability to persuade without engaging in unnecessary power struggles

Strategic negotiation
-Identify and utilize negotiation levers: alternatives, common interests, concessions, and room for maneuver
-Preparing effectively for a negotiation
-Anticipate different scenarios
-Identify the interests and positions of stakeholders
-Build a suitable strategy
-Managing objections and deadlock situations
-Knowing how to evolve a discussion when the initial strategy is not working
-Maximize your chances of reaching a favorable agreement

Project strategy & support
-Clarify your objective and your strategy
-Identify the different stages and priorities
-Understanding who to interact with and in what order
-Prepare your discussions with the various stakeholders
-Adapt your communication according to the departments, partners or decision-makers
-Prepare for your important appointments
-Anticipate difficulties and resistance
-Deploy the most relevant tools and methods according to each step

Conflict management and complex situations
-Understanding the mechanisms that give rise to a conflict
-Identify the real issues behind the positions expressed
-Manage your emotions and those of the person you are speaking with
-Develop active and strategic listening
-Moving beyond unnecessary power struggles
-Regaining control of a difficult exchange
-Find constructive and sustainable solutions

➤ The right tool, at the right time, with the right person
This is one of the central principles of this support. Knowing a technique is not enough.

But first, you need to know:
-When to use it.
-With whom.
-In what context?
-And in what a way.

The same technique can be extremely effective with one person and totally counterproductive with another.

You will therefore learn to develop a true strategic reading of interactions, so that you no longer act solely on intuition, but understand the dynamics at play and consciously choose your approach.

➤ Tailored support

This program is aimed particularly at:

-Entrepreneurs and project leaders
-Business leaders and executives
Managers and executives
-Young professionals
Self-employed individuals and professionals
People wishing to advance within their company
Anyone with a project, ambition, or goal to achieve
Anyone wishing to improve their relationships and communication in a personal setting

Each support program is tailored to your specific situation and concrete objectives.

We can work directly on your projects, negotiations, appointments, relationship difficulties, or professional situations.

The goal is not simply to learn concepts.

You learn how to use them practically in your own life.

➤ A practical, engaging, and results-oriented teaching approach

We alternate methodological input, analysis of real situations, role-playing, simulations, preparation of your discussions and personalized feedback.

You can bring:

-A project to be developed.
-A negotiation to prepare for.
-An important appointment.
-A conflict to be resolved.
-A difficult person to manage.
-An idea worth defending.
-A business to launch.
-Or simply an ambition you wish to realize.

Let's analyze the situation together:

-What is your objective?
-Who are the relevant stakeholders?
-What are their interests and what is at stake?
-What obstacles might arise?
-What strategy should we adopt?
-What approach should be used?
-Which arguments should be prioritized?
-What tools should be deployed?
-And most importantly: at what point?

➤ Become a strategic communicator

The goal of this support is to enable you to develop a skill that will serve you in all areas of your life:

-Understanding people.
-Understanding the situations.
-Understanding the issues.
-Then adapt your communication and strategy to achieve your objectives.

Whether you are setting up a project, developing a business, advancing professionally, negotiating an opportunity or managing a complex personal situation, you will have concrete methods, tools and strategies to communicate with greater impact, intelligence and efficiency.

Stop letting your projects, ideas, or ambitions depend solely on your intuition. Learn to understand people, decode situations, and deploy the right strategy at the right time to advance what truly matters to you.

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 :)

Do you struggle to identify styles, artists, and works? Do you feel overwhelmed by the number of dates, movements, and characteristics to memorize? I will help you study Art History in a clear, visual, and understandable way, placing the works within their historical, cultural, and social context.

I offer private Art History lessons for high school and university students, as well as support for students who need to reinforce knowledge related to art, culture and the Humanities.

My goal is not for you to memorize a list of styles and characteristics, but rather to learn to observe a work of art, identify its main elements, analyze it, and relate it to its era and context. In this way, the study of art becomes meaningful, and it becomes much easier to remember and understand the material.

How can I help you?
Art History for High School.
Support in university subjects related to Art History and Humanities.
Exam preparation and subject recovery.
Study and understanding of the main artistic styles and movements.
Architecture, sculpture and painting.
Analysis and commentary on works of art.
Identification of characteristics, authors, periods and styles.
Preparation of comments and image analysis.
Historical, cultural and social contextualization of the works.
Organization of extensive syllabi and study techniques.
Preparation of academic papers and presentations.

I hold a degree in Humanities, with a broad and multidisciplinary background in History, Philosophy, Art, Culture, and Thought. I also have a teaching degree and teaching experience, which allows me to adapt both the content and the way I explain it to the level and needs of each student.

My background in the humanities allows me to approach art not as an isolated succession of works and styles, but as an expression of each society and each era. We will understand what is represented, how it is represented, and, above all, why it is done in that way.

Drawing is an essential practice for whomever wants to explore themselves through visualizing and recording the cognitive, perceptive, emotive, associative and intellective processes of the person.

In this class we do all of that, drawing in and out of ourselves. Conversation, feedback and critique based.
Possible to provide notions on different drawing materials, tools and surfaces as well as art historical and contemporary references. But most of the work is done in the process and through exchange.

The student will develop an open approach and critical position towards drawing and its deeper relation to the self and communication.

Are you developing an art portfolio, preparing an application, or trying to understand where to take your artistic practice next?

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of international experience in exhibitions, residencies, research and teaching. I offer individual mentoring for students, emerging artists and established practitioners who want to develop a stronger, more coherent and personal body of work.

Sessions can focus on portfolio development, selecting and editing work, developing concepts, identifying recurring interests, strengthening your artistic voice, researching references, writing about your work and preparing applications for art schools, BA/BFA and MFA programmes, residencies, grants, exhibitions and other professional opportunities.

We can also work together if you feel stuck, disconnected from your practice or unsure how to move from isolated works or ideas toward a meaningful body of work.

My approach combines close discussion of your work with contemporary art, art history, critical references and practical strategies. I do not impose a particular style or aesthetic. The aim is to help you understand what is already distinctive in your work and develop it with greater clarity, depth and confidence.

Mentoring is available in English or Portuguese and is adapted to your individual goals and stage of development.
