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.

Dear dancers, welcome!

Do you love dance and want to improve your technical and artistic skills? I am here to help you surpass yourself! ;) Professional dancer, choreographer and teacher, I am creative, empathic, dynamic, and versatile.

Holder of a Bachelor's degree in contemporary dance and creation of multidisciplinary performances from the Iceland University of the Arts, a Master 2 in Art Research & International Creation from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, I am an artist member of the International Dance Council at UNESCO.
Since 2020, I have been engaged in academic research on medical and spiritual dance whose practice is called Transcendental Dance (Transcendental Embodiment).

My professional experience extends internationally where I had the opportunity to work alongside various renowned companies and to organize internships in France, Iceland, Sweden, Mexico, Czech Republic, Spain, Turkey and Asia. Also, I had the opportunity to dance for haute couture houses during Fashion Week in Paris.

I teach contemporary dance, technical floorwork (floor work), contact dance and classical dance. My classes focus on mindfulness, musicality, harmonization of energy flows, improvisation, muscle strengthening and coaching in choreographic composition for competitions, exams, galas, and weddings.

I remain at your disposal for any information.
See you soon,
Tiffany

Painting 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.

Greek Art A-Z is a journey into the world of Modern Greek Art & culture from the independence of the Greek State to the present times.
We will explore together all the important artistic creations and set them in their historical and social context, in order to understand their coherence, establish the direct relationship between art and the cultural evolution of each period, and connect Art with life.
Art, whether it serves religion, beliefs, ideals, passions, ambitions, hopes, or the need for communication, is a unique aesthetic experience combining myth with history and science.
The course also includes guest lecturers and artists talks as well as visits to museums, galleries and ateliers.

*Trips and in situ lectures for students in Athens or virtual tours for the web students.

Presentations, texts, images, videos, virtual collections, documentaries, gallery & museum visits*

Language: Greek, English

This combination of art and English class will help children explore their creative ability and, at the same time, gain new language skills.

We can discuss any medium you want your child to explore and I will create a suitable lesson for each class. Tailored classes with interesting artistic topics will provide extra motivation for students and encourage them to remember various information from the class.

Join me and get creative using different art techniques while you boost the English language!

*** I will provide materials for this class, but if you have a specific request that requires special equipment/materials please be ready to prepare/bring them to the class!

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 :)

Learn digital illustration through personalized lessons focused on the areas you want or need to improve the most. The classes are adapted to your current level, artistic goals, and the kind of work you want to create.

We can explore different illustration techniques and approaches, including black-and-white artwork, grayscale painting, full-color illustration, character-focused pieces, and more stylized or rendered work. Rather than following the exact same program for every student, the lessons can focus on the techniques that are most useful for your development.

Depending on your goals, we can work on composition, color theory, lighting, anatomy, perspective, shape language, character design, visual storytelling, concept art, game art, and other fundamentals of digital illustration.

You can also bring your own illustrations, sketches, studies, or personal projects to class. We can analyze what is working, identify areas that could be improved, and work directly on the skills necessary to take your artwork further.

The goal is not only to learn specific tools or techniques, but also to develop a stronger understanding of the artistic decisions behind an illustration and gradually build a workflow that works for you.

My name is Nayara, and I offer art classes tailored to each student's level, age, and goals. My strengths lie in pencil, acrylic, and oil painting, though I can also help with basic drawing techniques, color theory, composition, and various art projects.
I am currently studying Visual Arts in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, so I can help both students who want to learn as a hobby and students who need to improve their results in the art subject.
In my classes we can work on:
- Acrylic and oil paint
- Basic drawing techniques
- Color theory and mixing
- Composition and proportion
- Development of ideas and creativity
- Help with homework and school projects
- Support to improve grades
- Crafts and creative projects
I like to tailor my classes to each individual and make them dynamic, practical, and engaging. Instead of just teaching theory, I prepare each class in advance, gathering all the necessary materials and resources. My goal is for every student to develop their creativity, improve their technique, and, above all, enjoy the artistic process.
The classes are specially designed for children, teenagers and beginners, although I can also adapt to students with more experience.

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.

Learn digital sculpture with ZBrush through an artistic and practical approach.

These lessons are designed for artists who want to learn how to create characters, creatures, figures and original designs in 3D, whether your goal is concept art, character development, digital art or 3D printing.

Rather than simply learning software tools, we will focus on the artistic decisions behind a successful sculpture: form, anatomy, proportions, silhouette, shapes, design and how to translate an idea into a convincing 3D piece.

Depending on your goals and experience, we can work on:

• Digital sculpting fundamentals and ZBrush workflow
• Human anatomy and figure sculpture
• Character and creature design
• Developing an idea or concept into a 3D sculpture
• Creating interesting shapes, silhouettes and visual details
• Improving an existing sculpture or portfolio piece
• Preparing a sculpture for 3D printing when relevant
• Presenting your work through lighting and rendering

The lessons can be adapted to beginners who are completely new to digital sculpture, as well as more experienced artists who want feedback and guidance to improve their work.

You can also bring your own character, concept or ongoing sculpture and we can develop it together during the lesson.

Teaching through lectures and discussions accompanied by representative images from different periods of art history. We will discuss the composition of images, the main characteristics of different movements and styles, the meaning behind their iconography, and the historical context in which they emerged. We will discuss the history of Western art from antiquity to the present day. We won't limit ourselves to Europe! We will also discuss pre-Columbian and American art. My class is aimed at anyone interested in learning about art history, whether for personal enrichment or as a supplement to a school course.

A great artist should be able to draw a wide variety of subjects with confidence and creativity. This includes drawing people with accurate features and expressions, creating beautiful landscapes with depth and detail, and illustrating flowers with delicate shapes, textures and natural beauty.

Good drawing skills come from careful observation, understanding proportion, practising shading and using lines effectively. Whether drawing portraits, countryside scenes, buildings, plants or flowers, a skilled artist should be able to bring each subject to life and develop their own creative style.

With regular practice, students can improve their drawing techniques, build confidence and learn how to create artwork they are proud of.
