Acerca de mí

Hello, my name is Anna,
I'm a 28-year-old designer based in Denmark, having graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Currently, I'm working for Cecilie Bahnsen, a Copenhagen-based brand, and in my free time, I teach and consult designers. I have attended universities like Central Saint Martins, Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Middlesex University and Polimoda. My big journey of preparation and research for my education required hard work and dedication. This process often had me feeling stressed and devastated. That's the reason why I would like to help and facilitate the young generations to make a proper portfolio/application with someone who shares their passion and agony. I'm very calm, patient and engaging with my students, always experimenting and seeking creative solutions for each individual.

Feel free to message me!

A lot of people think they cannot draw. But before drawing, it is about "seeing". Actually if you can see, you can draw. Not only objects, but portraits, animals, whatever you want. By developing the aptitude of observing the reality using the right part of your brain, you learn how to draw what you really see instead of drawing what you think you already know about this reality.
This technique was a revelation as it allowed me to progress quickly when I was young. It's on this base that I will help you to learn another way of looking at things around you and show you some tricks to overcome difficulties as perspective, foreshorten,...

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.

I am a painter and illustrator who has a lot of fun capturing ideas on paper, I invite you to my classes (completely practical), where you can explore your creativity and sensitivity through plastic expression. We will develop observation and synthesis skills by drawing different elements of our environment. I will also teach you to recognize graphic elements (conceptual and material) through free experimentation, which will increase your visual perception.
What about the notions of composition, balance and concept? Come on, I'll teach you!

Are you willing to learn drawing or painting? Do you wish to improve what you already know?

I graduated from an art school where I learned all the important classical techniques of drawing, painting and sculpture. I would like to pass on the knowledge I have acquired through my studies and practice and give those who so wish the opportunity to go on a journey into the world of art and improve their language and technique.
The lessons are open to all levels.

The techniques covered range from drawing with pencil, charcoal and pastel chalk to all painting styles (watercolor, oil, acrylic, tempera). You have the opportunity to experiment on different types of paper (with different weights and colors) and canvases.

The topics change from lesson to lesson and can range from the human body to the landscape to the wildlife, depending on your preferences and desires.

Particular attention is paid to the method so that the finished work is clean, pleasant and as expressive as possible.

Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it!

Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city.
I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational.

I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across.

I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Would you like to be able to illustrate the worlds and stories you imagine?

Do you want to learn how to create characters for a video game, animation, children's story, comic or in any format? Or would you like to be able to draw your favorite characters?

If you have those concerns, I would love to help you.

I like to focus the classes in such a way that the current drawing level of the student is not what is important. The room for improvement will always evolve. I like to take my classes towards character design, towards general things like the psychology of color and shapes, since they are assimilable and highly useful concepts, independent of the level of drawing. For this reason, my classes are aimed at all ages and drawing levels.

I also try to focus them on the preferences and tastes of each student, showing them that everything they like, they like for a reason, that nothing is left to chance and that they can also understand how to make their drawings reflect what they want to convey. Even to create your portfolios or visual information for your own project or story.

I give private classes with students from different parts of the world, so many of my classes I have been able to do in both English and French.

I studied 2D animation in France, and thanks to this training, my work has been nourished by dynamism, storytelling, expressiveness, typical of this medium, as well as the sensitivity for color and shapes that I usually use to infuse a unique style both to my original designs as well as my fanarts.

I teach classes in artistic drawing, painting, sculpture and creative strategies. For all levels.

I offer accompaniment so that students are able to learn to look, decipher meanings and create their own pieces of personal expression.

I work with both a historical and contemporary approach. With my methodology, students acquire the tools to create their own artistic languages. Plastic, visual and audiovisual aspects are worked on, both analog and digital.

Considering your skill level and objectives, I'll customize a personalized class just for you, and together, we'll work towards achieving your artistic goals.

Expect valuable tips, relevant references, and occasional insights into art theory that align with your practice and style. I'll encourage you to experiment, be inventive, and gain confidence in making creative decisions, trusting your unique artistic voice.

Drawing is a fun activity. It's very interesting to see how the lines take shape as you draw them, and it's also satisfying when you take the finished drawing home.

This workshop is aimed at people of all ages, from children to adults who love to draw and want to learn tricks and tips for drawing.

You can bring anything you like and would like to draw, whether it's a manga, a photograph, or even the actual object if you can bring it with you. If you don't have anything in particular, we'll look at the materials I've prepared together and I'll give you tips on how to draw!

You can draw on paper with a pencil or marker, or if you have a tablet, that's fine too.

Como escritor independiente, mi propósito es acompañarte a transformar el silencio en palabra y el peso emocional en literatura a través de clases particulares diseñadas para el desahogo personal. En este espacio seguro, utilizaremos la escritura no como una obligación académica, sino como un refugio de liberación donde podrás explorar tus sentimientos, sanar historias y encontrar en la página en blanco el alivio y la claridad que necesitas para procesar tu mundo interno.
Como dibujante independiente, mi propósito trasciende la técnica para convertirme en un facilitador de tu mundo interior, guiándote en el proceso de transformar emociones abstractas en trazos tangibles que capturen la verdadera esencia de lo que sientes. Más que enseñarte a replicar formas, te proporcionaré las herramientas creativas necesarias para que utilices el dibujo como un lenguaje personal y liberador, donde cada línea y sombreado actúen como una extensión de tu sensibilidad. Al trabajar juntos, aprenderás a observar no solo con los ojos, sino con la intuición, logrando que tus obras dejen de ser simples imágenes para convertirse en reflejos auténticos de tu identidad y estado emocional.
Como actor independiente, mi compromiso es brindarte las herramientas interpretativas necesarias para que logres transmutar tu mundo interior en la creación de personajes profundos y auténticos. Mi enfoque no se limita a la memorización de diálogos, sino a un proceso de exploración emocional donde aprenderás a canalizar tus propias vivencias, miedos y alegrías para dar vida a una ficción que respire verdad. A través de técnicas de expresión corporal, manejo de la voz y análisis psicológico, te guiaré para que utilices tu vulnerabilidad como una fortaleza escénica, permitiendo que cada gesto y cada silencio en el escenario o frente a la cámara sea un reflejo honesto de la condición humana.
Como bailarín independiente, mi compromiso es ofrecerte un espacio de libertad donde el movimiento se convierta en tu principal vía de escape, permitiéndote liberar tensiones acumuladas y canalizar el estrés de una manera constructiva y saludable. A través de la danza, te enseñaré a escuchar el ritmo de tu propio cuerpo para que logres desahogar tus emociones sin juicios, transformando el agotamiento mental en energía física renovada y bienestar emocional. No se trata solo de ejecutar pasos coreográficos, sino de utilizar el baile como una herramienta terapéutica de autocuidado que te ayude a desconectar del caos externo para reconectar con tu equilibrio interior, logrando que cada sesión sea una catarsis liberadora y revitalizante.
