From 70.05 C$ /h

A creative activity to relax and reconnect with yourself. You'll express your emotions creatively and visually see what you feel so you can then transform what you see fit. The creative process changes the structure of the brain and generates dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin, which promote well-being.

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.

THE TRAINER
From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.

Yoga is not just a practice—it’s a way of life.
All you need to do is set aside a little time... I’ll guide you through the rest. This journey will leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected—both to yourself and the world around you.

Let’s go beyond what you see on social media.
Yoga is far more than poses—it is an ancient, holistic science rooted in deep wisdom. First mentioned in the sacred Rig Veda, Yoga means Yuj—to unite. It’s a union of body, mind, breath, and spirit.

In this personalized online class, you’ll receive my full attention. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, the session will be tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore:

Grounding asanas (postures)
Cleansing kriyas
Healing mudras
Powerful pranayama (breathwork)
Stillness through meditation
You'll leave each session feeling refreshed, relaxed, and energized—ready to carry that peace into your daily life.

🧘‍♂️ I work with international students, professionals, and individuals across the globe—online and in business organisations. My teaching draws from diverse traditions including Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga.

So, take a deep breath...
Don’t overthink it. Just book your spot—and let the transformation begin.

See you on the mat.
Namaste. 🙏

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.

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 :)

You will learn;

How to create a formal analysis.
How to create a semiotic analysis.

This course is aimed at photographers and visual creators who want to take their images beyond capture, developing a professional editing workflow and their own visual identity.

Throughout these sessions, we will learn to use the fundamental tools of Adobe Lightroom Classic to optimize photo quality, correct technical issues, and enhance their visual impact. We will work from organizing and selecting images to advanced digital development, retouching, and final adjustments for printing or digital publication.

In addition to the technical aspects, the course places special emphasis on developing a coherent and personal aesthetic. We will analyze visual references, the use of color, contrast, light, and atmosphere to understand how to transform a photograph into an image with its own character and language.

About the class:
The sessions will be designed according to the needs of the students. We will practice Asanas and relaxation through Yoga nidra. The idea is to build up slowly. It is important to keep in mind that Yoga is not merely a physical exercise and it works with body, mind and breath. The class is designed to help you to rejuvenate, relax and to center yourself.

Have a wonderful day!

See you on the mat!

Let me show you how creative you already are! In this class we will explore creativity through engaging exercises, imagination challenges, games, storytelling, observation, and experimentation. The goal isn’t to become an artist – it’s to strengthen curiosity, confidence, flexible thinking, and the ability to generate new ideas.

Suitable for children, teenagers, and adults, these sessions are adapted to each person’s age, interests, and goals. Whether you’re looking to nurture a child’s imagination, reconnect with your own creativity, or simply try something new, you’ll find a supportive space to explore without pressure or judgment.

No previous experience is required – only curiosity 😊

As an artist, animator, and video game director, I have studied art and drawing since childhood. I offer courses tailored to your interests, skill level, and goals. Each session is custom-designed and prepared in advance, taking the form of a discovery workshop (focusing on a technique or concept) or practical exercises.

Different course formats are offered:
Group classes (approximately 5 people): ideal for sharing a creative moment around a common passion, with friends or in a small group;
Workshops for children: designed according to the age and pace of each child;
Individual lessons: to discover your artistic affinities and develop your practice through a personalized session;
Follow-up over several sessions: to progress in a technique, build a personal project or prepare an artistic portfolio (art school competitions, calls for projects, comic strip competitions, etc.).
Together we can explore:

Different techniques:
line drawing, gouache, oil painting, collage, ink, watercolor, stop-motion...

Different concepts:
colour, composition, portraiture, observational drawing, sketching from life (character and perspective), as well as the different ways of using artistic tools.

I also offer support with layout and digital drawing software, to discover or deepen digital practice.
