Fine arts and mixed media - Drawing, paiting, sculpture, printmaking, and more.

Are you a new aspiring artist trying your hand at creating artwork for the first time?
Or do you want to improve your skills with valuable advice on your practice perhaps in preparation for a course of study or to perfect your technique?
Contemporary art offers a wide range of possibilities and mediums.
Through over eleven years of studying and practicing Fine Arts, I have acquired a deep love and appreciation for traditional art techniques such as traditional technical painting and drawing, and mixed media sculpting but also enjoyed experimenting with uncountable numbers of other unconventional media integrating them with contemporary languages.
My course will help you improve your skills or learn from scratch how to get drawings, sculptures and paintings according to your goals.

About Me

One of my mottos is "art is easy and belongs to everyone and it is above all inclusion". I find that the more people who practice art forms individually, the more the art world is enriched and fulfills its function of cultural mediation.
There are so many different ways of approaching artistic practice for each individual. Working with me means finding a listener who can first of all grasp the most personal aspects of your artistic expression to convey them towards the objectives that we will set ourselves in the lessons.

Education

2 years Master in Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London.
3 years BA in Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice.
5 years Art Lyceum Canova in vicenza, Italy.

Experience / Qualifications

I have worked as art workshop facilitator from 2019 to 2022 engaging the participants in the creation of mixed media collective artworks and teaching senior population paiting, drawing and sculpture. I have been a private arts and craft teacher in London from 2016 to 2018. I have delivered several art community based workshops for instance in 2017 and 2018 at Tate Exchange - Tate Modern London.

Drawing, Painting, and Fine Arts classes for beginners, advanced students, adults, and art admirers
The freedom of creativity is the most attractive way of self expression. However, to achieve the mastery to utilise consciously and productively this freedom, with both joy and confidence, with value and satisfaction, you need to have the 'tools' and attain certain skills to guide, facilitate, and uncover your potential. A grate achievement could not be done without breaking the rules, but to break the rules convincingly and doubtlessly, you first need to learn, acknowledge, and understand their natural laws and traditions. Therefore, I am inviting to my tutorial classes, where online or in person, on beginner or advanced level, you will meet and learn the basic and most important skills of Drawing and Painting systematically through observation and references. You will practice and experiment to fully master a medium or a technique, will support your practice with Art and Colour theory, Perspective, and History of Art, in order to start easily drawing yourself, interpreting a favourite scene or a subject on a paper or canvas, and will create you diverse and appealing collection of artworks with attention, imagination, and excitement.

Abstract Drawing and Mindfulness (A delve into the subconscious)
In this class we will explore drawing through a series of therapeutic art and mindfulness exercises. This class is designed to encourage students to free the mind of judgement and explore the realms of unpredictability and subconscious creation. You will be lead through simple techniques of mark making, pattern and experimental drawing with a focus on breathing and sensation. As well as drawing to music, poems and film, we will be taking a look at a few artists who have worked within the realms of the abstract drawing and the subconscious. The aim of this class is to quieten our conscious mind and place our thoughts completely in the present, in turn creating a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Patrick
Acting Teacher / Drama facilitator / Workshop Leader
"Who knew gaining experience as an actor and experiencing performing in a dramatic fashion could be done with such quick results, passion and fun. Why didn't I start earlier? In saying that it might just be him." As a teacher, course leader and facilitator, I have taught all ages for over 20 years. Whether it's primary school children on a Saturday wanting fun games and dramatic exercises building confidence and dramatic experience or professional actors preparing for a series regular, my skills are hard to match. Still a professional actor at the cutting edge of the business, my experience remains invaluable and I still enjoy sharing it and passing it down.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
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.
