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.

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Good morning! I am a 3D animator!
Graduated with a master's degree as a 3D Designer and Special Effects Director, I am delighted to support you in your learning of drawing or painting, whether you have a beginner level or are preparing an application to enter an animation school 3D.
I have always drawn and started using Photoshop before I was 10. I have improved over the years, first self-taught, then by taking classes and finally in my animation school.
When it comes to art, you never stop learning, which is why I am convinced that even if I teach classes, I can learn things from my students!
My courses depend on the level of the person and their expectations. I can give exercises to do regularly or not, it's à la carte. The drawing subjects are chosen by the students, I am not here to impose a particular drawing style, each student comes with their desires and their inspirations and we develop around this base. Don't worry if you don't have any ideas, I have plenty!

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.

How do you move from making individual artworks to developing a practice that feels genuinely your own?

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of international experience. In these individual mentoring sessions, I work with artists and creative people who want to develop a more personal artistic language, deepen their ideas, or reconnect with a practice that has become stuck or uncertain.

Rather than teaching a particular style or giving you formulas to follow, we look closely at what already interests you: recurring images, materials, questions, experiences, contradictions and ways of thinking. From there, we explore how these elements can become part of a stronger and more individual body of work.

Our sessions may involve discussion of your current work, experimentation, sketchbooks, writing, research, contemporary art and art history, as well as artists, writers and thinkers relevant to the questions emerging from your practice.

We can work on questions such as: What makes your work yours? Which ideas are worth pursuing? How can you develop a concept without simply illustrating it? How can research become part of the work? How do you recognise and move beyond habits, imitation or creative blocks?

This mentoring is suitable for people who want more than technical instruction and are interested in developing an independent, thoughtful and sustainable creative practice.

Sessions are available in English or Portuguese and are shaped around each person's interests, work and creative process.

Hello,

Still a 5th year student in 2D animation film creation, I offer to teach you how to create your own universe through the creation of your character(s) as well as in the development of environments in which this/these same character(s) could be animated.

These courses are accessible regardless of your drawing level.

Want to bring your ideas to life, create a unique character or imagine a captivating environment? My drawing classes are tailored above all to your desires and objectives.

Whether you are a beginner or already experienced, the course content is fully customizable according to your level and the areas you wish to explore in greater depth.

Do you want to focus primarily on character creation? We can explore their design together and develop your ideas.

Do you prefer to delve deeper into the creation of environments and universes? The course can be geared towards this in order to allow you to work specifically on what interests you.

And if you simply want to discover both aspects, I also offer a discovery course, combining character and environment creation to offer you a complete first approach to creating a universe.

Here, the course adapts to you, not the other way around. Together, we build a learning experience that truly matches your desires and progress.
