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.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation.

Are you applying to university for a creative subject?

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.

As a professional illustrator and concept artist, I offer personalized drawing, illustration, and digital painting lessons, primarily for adults and teenagers. Children interested in learning to draw can also be guided with age-appropriate exercises.

The course content is tailored to your level, goals, and interests. We can work on the fundamentals of drawing: observation, construction, proportions, perspective, light, color, and composition. Sessions can also focus on creating characters, creatures, settings, and fantasy, historical, or science fiction worlds.

For students interested in digital illustration, I offer an introduction or advanced course on Photoshop: getting to grips with the software, using layers and painting tools, creating a composition, coloring, working on atmospheres and finalizing an illustration.

Each lesson includes explanations, demonstrations, practical exercises, and personalized feedback. I can also assist you with a personal project, the development of your artistic style, or the improvement of your portfolio.

My method is based on my professional experience and on a process combining visual research, sketching, composition, 3D bases when useful, then paintover and 2D finishing touches.

Tie and dye is an ancient global form of art that originated independently across various cultures, with the earliest examples dating back to the 5th–8th century AD in China, Japan, Peru, and India. Known as a form of "resist dyeing," it involves binding or folding fabric to prevent dye from reaching certain areas. In the Southwestern area of Nigeria it is called - "ADIRE".

Every Art has its history - “Nothing exists without an origin”

Adire is more than just a textile; it's a reflection of Nigeria’s civilization and culture. Each design is a testament to the rich heritage of our culture and nation.

I advocate a creative and relaxed approach. No silly questions: mistakes are the foundation of your learning. Without them, you won't be able to progress.

I offer training on all of the following software:
• Photoshop: image correction, retouching, editing and processing
• Illustrator: proficiency in the software and typography
• InDesign: layout design, microtypography, graphic coordination and integration between different software programs; history of the publishing and printing industry
• Premiere Pro: video editing, tips and pitfalls to avoid, how to create a harmonious and effective edit, and mastering the software.

I adapt easily to schedules and needs. Naturally organized and independent, I am proficient in the digital tools used in education and I create my own teaching materials while guaranteeing high-quality work.

Trained as a media technician, I complemented my background with studies in visual communication with a specialization in photography.

For more than five years, I have been designing and developing visual content for print as well as digital media.

My professional experiences, both in Switzerland and abroad, have led me to work for cultural institutions, companies, and individuals alike.

As a graphic designer and photographer, I regularly manage campaigns from start to finish, propose new strategies, and maintain the websites and social media accounts of my clients. I develop relevant visual solutions while remaining attentive to objectives and expectations.

Since January 2025, I have been working as a substitute teacher at CPNV, where I teach various multimedia courses. This experience has allowed me to develop strong adaptability skills and an ability to build trust with my students.
