Abstract Drawing and Mindfulness (A delve into the subconscious)

65.93 C$ /h

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

Hello to all curious parents!
I am not an ordinary babysitter — I am first and foremost a facilitator of creative and educational workshops for children.
With a solid background in drawing and painting, as well as a TOEFL certification, I offer fun sessions where your children explore the world of colors, shapes and English, all while having fun.
In the program :
🎨 Drawing and painting classes (pencils, watercolor) adapted to each age group
🌍 Introduction to English through songs, stories and games
🎬 Discovering cartoons as a tool for learning and expression
✨ Creation of educational games that stimulate imagination and motor skills
My goal: to transform every moment into a creative experience, where the child learns to express themselves, to observe and to create with pleasure — while naturally developing their ear for English.
Ideal for curious, creative children, or those who simply want to spend a different kind of afternoon, with their hands in the paint and their heads in the stars!

📍 Home or online sessions — In Bordeaux and surrounding areas.
📩 Feel free to contact me to design a custom workshop for your child!

"Industrial drawing" or "technical drawing", whether manual or computer-aided (CAD, CAM...),
is first and foremost a language or graphic communication tool with precise rules.
This language, largely standardized internationally (ISO: International Standard
Organization), can be considered a universal language used in the same way
all over the world.
Industrial drawing is used by technicians, engineers, and designers to communicate
from the initial idea of a product to its design and production. All products, machines and
Various systems are first designed and defined graphically before considering their
manufacturing.

After three years of studies in applied arts (decorative arts and design), two years of preparatory studies in art and design, and two years of art school, I offer my services to teach art and design through courses and workshops.
These cover a wide range of topics, from art therapy to learning artistic methods, including building a portfolio for admission to art school.
I therefore offer personalized training courses, tailored to the needs of each individual.

Le propos de ces ateliers est d’aborder la peinture par un biais, par exemple l’improvisation, sans recherche précise, simple exercice.
Si la possibilité nous est offerte, de nous engager dans une proposition créative, encadrée, sans jugement ni pression, nous pouvons devenir créateur et découvrir notre propre source d’imagination. Il s'agit avant tout de se laisser porter par le plaisir, d'expérimenter cette énergie comme un jeu et une source de bien-être. Il est essentiel de quitter les notions présupposées selon lesquelles “mon art” devrait avoir cette forme plutôt qu’une autre. Nous cherchons la surprise. Ces ateliers sont ouverts à tous, sans prérequis.
Techniques et processus originaux pour mettre en confiance et ouvrir un champ d’expérimentation inaccoutumé.

Ce cours s’adresse aux élèves qui souhaitent apprendre à dessiner, développer leur univers visuel ou préparer une entrée en école d’art. Illustrateur, concept artist et enseignant en arts visuels, j’accompagne depuis plusieurs années des étudiants et des créatifs dans l’apprentissage du dessin académique, de l’illustration, du character design, du concept art et de la narration visuelle.

Les cours sont adaptés au niveau et aux objectifs de chaque élève. Nous pouvons travailler les bases du dessin comme l’observation, les proportions, la perspective, la lumière, la composition et l’anatomie, mais aussi des approches plus avancées comme la création de personnages, de décors, de planches de recherches, de portfolios ou de projets personnels.

Pour les élèves qui visent une prépa ou une école d’art, je propose également un accompagnement méthodique pour construire un dossier cohérent, développer une identité visuelle et gagner en exigence dans la présentation du travail.

Ma pédagogie repose sur une progression claire, des exercices ciblés, des démonstrations, des retours précis et un suivi adapté au rythme de chacun. L’objectif est de faire progresser l’élève durablement, en lui donnant à la fois des bases solides, une méthode de travail et davantage de confiance dans sa pratique.
