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.

Do you want to capture the world around you with just a pen and a sketchbook — anytime, anywhere?

This class is all about urban sketching, expressive linework, and the art of seeing.
Sketching is the most portable and intimate form of drawing. You don’t need fancy tools — a simple pen, a pocket-sized notebook, even an eyeliner can become the starting point of your next artwork.

In this course, you will learn:

✨ Foundation techniques of pen sketching, line weight, shading, composition
✨ How to draw quickly and confidently from life
✨ The elegance of Chinese line art (“白描baimiao”): clarity, rhythm, and spirit
✨ How to develop your own style through bold experimentation
✨ How to capture the soul of a moment — people, pets, architecture, landscapes

We will explore Copenhagen together and discover sketching spots:
the peaceful fields, the modern skyline, hidden cafés, cozy streets, and everything in between. Every corner of this city has a story waiting to be drawn.

More importantly, you will learn how sketching becomes a part of everyday life:

🍺 A bar sketch that earns you a free drink
🐾 A quick drawing of your cat or dog while they nap
🧡 A portrait sketch that becomes a charming conversation starter
🎁 A handmade gift far more personal than anything you can buy

Sketching is not just a skill — it’s a lifestyle, a gentle way of observing the world and leaving a trace of beauty wherever you go.

Whether you’re a beginner or simply eager to draw more freely, this class welcomes you.
