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.

L’objectif des cours est d’aider les débutants en photographie à mieux comprendre et maîtriser leur appareil afin d’exploiter pleinement leur potentiel.

Les cours sont individuels et accessibles à tous, pour un accompagnement personnalisé et adapté à votre rythme. Je conseille en général des séances de 1h30, car 1h passe souvent trop vite, surtout lorsqu’il y a de la pratique.

Les cours peuvent être pris à l’unité, mais pour plus de simplicité et bénéficier de tarifs avantageux, des packs de cours sont également disponibles.

Pack n°1 : Les bases de la photographie – de la prise de vue à l’export final
Ce pack se compose de 5 cours individuels de 1h30, répartis en 3 modules complémentaires, pour vous accompagner pas à pas dans l’apprentissage de la photographie.
Module 1 : Bases techniques et prise en main de l’appareil
Dans ce premier module, nous abordons toutes les bases techniques indispensables pour comprendre et maîtriser votre appareil photo : le triangle de l’exposition, les différents modes de prise de vue, la balance des blancs, les modes de mise au point, ainsi que les spécificités de votre boîtier.
À l’issue de ce module, votre appareil photo n’aura plus de secret pour vous : vous saurez à quoi servent chaque bouton et chaque réglage, et surtout quand et comment les utiliser.
Module 2 : Composition et gestion de la lumière
Ce module est consacré aux règles fondamentales de la composition et à la gestion de la lumière dans différentes situations : paysage, street photography ou portrait. Nous verrons également les principes de cadrage et leur signification.
À la fin de ce module, vous connaîtrez les règles de composition, saurez les appliquer... et apprendrez aussi quand et comment vous en affranchir.
Module 3 : Post-production
Dans ce dernier module, je vous transmettrai mes conseils et bonnes pratiques pour le stockage et le tri de vos photos sur ordinateur. Nous verrons également le fonctionnement de Lightroom, aussi bien pour la gestion de la bibliothèque que pour la retouche, ainsi que les différents formats d’export. Si vous le souhaitez, nous aborderons également les bases à connaître pour l’impression de vos photos.
À l’issue de ce module, Lightroom n’aura plus de secret pour vous, et vous disposerez de toutes les bases nécessaires, de la prise de vue jusqu’à l’export final.

Pack n°2 : Bases techniques et prise en main de l’appareil
Ce pack se compose de 2 cours individuels de 1h30, entièrement dédiés à la prise de vue. Le contenu correspond au module 1 du pack “Les bases de la photographie”
À l’issue de ces deux cours, vous serez en mesure de comprendre et de maîtriser les réglages essentiels de votre appareil.

Pack n°3 : Les bases de la post-production – de l’import à l’export sur Lightroom
Ce pack se compose de 2 cours individuels de 1h30, entièrement consacrés à la post-production. Il se concentre uniquement sur le flux de travail sur Lightroom, de l’import de vos photos jusqu’à l’export final (correspond au module 3 du pack “Les bases de la photographie”).
À l’issue de ces deux cours, vous maîtriserez les bases essentielles de Lightroom pour organiser, retoucher et exporter vos images efficacement.

Pack n°4 : Prendre confiance en photographie
Ce pack se compose de 2 cours individuels de 1h30, entièrement dédiés à la pratique. L’objectif est de vous aider à gagner en confiance avec votre appareil photo grâce à des conseils personnalisés et des situations de prise de vue concrètes.
Ce pack s’adresse aux personnes ayant déjà acquis les bases techniques nécessaires afin de pouvoir se concentrer pleinement sur la pratique et le développement de leur aisance photographique.

Si vous avez des questions, n’hésitez pas à me contacter. À très vite !

In this course, you will learn how to scan any object using Reality Capture software. This efficient and powerful software was first used for the preservation of archaeological objects and historical monuments, but is now used for video games, VFX and virtual reality, as it offers tools and results of a impressive quality, all in an easy-to-use interface.

In this course, you will be able to learn:
-How does photogrammetry work?
-How to take suitable photos
-How to prepare these photos for their use in the software
-How to use these photos to reconstruct an object in 3D and apply a realistic texture to it
-How to optimize scans for custom use (games, movies, etc.)

Gradually, we will solidify these skills to learn how to build a library of highly realistic objects based on high resolution scans.

It is also possible to present your projects to me and to obtain personalized help on them.

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.

En terminale, la spécialité arts plastiques enseignée pour le baccalauréat repose sur une culture artistique, guidée par les programmes et des oeuvres obligatoires dont les connaissances sont évaluées lors de l'épreuve écrite de 3 h 30 ainsi que sur une pratique artistique qui débouchera sur un projet personnel à visée artistique qui sera à présenter au jury, à l'oral lors des épreuves de spécialités.

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 :)
