You know sometimes, you see a photo and you really want to recreate it because it means so much to you or because it just looks super cool? or maybe you have a box full of art supplies that you never knew how to put to work... Well, i can help you with that...Realistic painting is something that is an extremely useful tool and is very easy to learn. It will help you when you don't know what present to give or want to give a very meaningful present. Additionally, it develops your artistic and creative skill and perhaps could be a nice hobby to have. I specialise in oils and acrylics and i am happy to teach them to you. Painting in a fun and comfortable environment with no pressure, perhaps with a cup of coffee or maybe anything stronger. I have an extensive portfolio of realistic and hyperealistic art that you are more than capable to do as well.

I am happy to bring my equipment or get you your own set of materials if you do not have any materials.

How do I start a photo project?
How do I make a good edit?
How do I make an exhibition?
How do I make a photo book?
How do I prepare/register for a grant?

The best way to learn is by doing.

My method of teaching is based on what the student requires and wants to learn. Together we look at what you want to learn or what you want to experiment in. These can be the technical aspects of photography, the structure of a project, or, for example, the making of a photo book. It is therefore important to tailor the lessons to the student's goal. An interesting perk is that I have a network of photographers and designers who might also come in handy.

Don't have a photo project in mind yet?
Then I have very nice assignments that can inspire you to find your way as a photographer.

About me:
I am a photographer who graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. I also used to teach photography in both the bachelor's and master's programs at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague.

I have extensive experience in curating exhibitions and creating photography projects and exhibitions as you can see from my CV below. Additionally, I am a co-founder of Baobab Magazine, where we collaborate with students to produce a photography magazine. Through this venture, I have gained valuable experience in organizing exhibitions, workshops, and publications.

I have studied piano playing at the Conservatory in Žilina. Now I am a teacher at music school and ready to share my skills.
Through a 4 week online course called "Getting started with music theory" I have obtained a verified Certificate from Michigan State University.

My lessons are aimed at anyone who wants to understand drawing not just as a hobby, but as a craft. Whether beginner or advanced student – we work on combining technical knowledge with creative expression.

The course covers the following key areas:

Fundamentals & Technique: Correct observation, line work, and hand positioning. We learn how to realistically transfer objects onto paper.

Academic drawing: light and shadow, perspective, and the construction of complex forms. I explain the theory in a way that makes it immediately applicable in practice.

Architectural understanding: As an architecture student, I teach students to think spatially and to create depth in their works.

Individual portfolio consultation: We work specifically on projects for admission to art schools or universities.

My approach: Each lesson is individually tailored to the student's age and goals. It's important to me to create a relaxed atmosphere where mistakes are seen as part of the learning process. We work step by step on your personal style or the perfect portfolio.

I offer individually tailored lessons in composition, free improvisation, and piano for students of all levels — from beginners to advanced musicians.

Composition
Lessons focus on developing a personal musical language through both creative work and analytical study. We analyze scores from various periods, including the 20th and 21st centuries. We explore contemporary compositional techniques, form, harmony, texture, and extended instrumental techniques (including their notation). Students are guided in building original works while strengthening their artistic identity.

Free Improvisation
This course combines practical exercises with the analysis of selected works and recordings in experimental and improvised music. The aim is to liberate musical expression while consciously shaping an individual musical language. The course is not dedicated to any single style or genre, but rather focuses on helping each participant discover and develop their own artistic voice and approach to music-making. It is suitable not only for beginners, but also for advanced musicians seeking to expand their vocabulary and deepen their artistic practice.
There is no restriction to a single instrument: participants are welcome to bring their own instrument or join without any instrument at all.
Lessons can take place both individually and in small groups.
This format is also highly suitable for children, as improvisation encourages imagination, confidence, and a playful exploration of sound.

Piano
Piano lessons integrate technique, sound awareness, and interpretative work. Repertoire may include classical, contemporary, or experimental music, depending on the student’s interests and goals.
We work either with a programme assigned by a university or institution, or develop an individual programme tailored to the student’s artistic interests, technical level, and personal objectives.
