About Me

In more than 20 years of working as a professional Illustrator in the Industry, I've learned that the real artist is not the one that was born with the highest natural talents and skills.
For me, the one that is flexible enough to keep really learning and with that, develop the ability to solve problems and challenges during work time is the most precious kind of professional/artist.
Because to be a good artist is actually to be a student forever!
I love the learning process much more than any final results and I admire the students that accept the challenge of always keep trying a bit more and seeing how far they can go in their learning.
That's the beauty of the Journey.
As a teacher, this kind of student inspires me to also search for knowledge even more and share with them not only what I've learned so far as a professional artist but also what I still want to learn in the Art as well.
I invite you to be my student! I will be by your side to help you to develop your skills and learn how to grow more and more in your Art.

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.

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.

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 :)

It does not require a talent to draw because talent itself is worthless without hard-work, and i am teaching the most effective ways to actually start having some motion and notice the improvements in your drawings.
it will be a long and a fun journey to reach what level each one of you desires.

Do you want to create manga seriously but don't know where to start?

In this course we will work in depth on the 5 fundamental pillars of manga:
. Characters
Setting
. Plot
. Issue
. Drawing

The classes are designed for beginners and intermediate students who really want to improve, but don't know where to start or need a solid foundation.

Each class contains a theoretical part that will then be put into practice through exercises and development of ideas, in order to better internalize the concepts and learn to apply them correctly.

This course focuses primarily on the first four pillars and not so much on isolated technical drawing. The goal is to understand how a manga functions as a complete work and how to make all its elements work together.

At the end of the course, all the knowledge learned will be combined to create your own short manga or one-shot.

In this session we will:
A level assessment
We'll talk about your goals
We will organize a learning plan tailored to you.

We will start with a short introductory conversation where you share your expectations and goals with me, so that I can prepare lessons tailored to you. From complete beginners to slightly experienced, everyone is welcome! I believe that everyone can learn to draw, regardless of age.

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 😊
