About Me

As an architect with extensive experience in drawing and painting, my teaching style is grounded in a blend of structured guidance and creative freedom. Here's an overview of my teaching methods and the type of students I strive to work with:

Structured Instruction: I provide a solid foundation by introducing fundamental principles of drawing and painting. This includes topics such as perspective, proportion, composition, colour theory, and shading techniques. Through clear explanations, demonstrations, and step-by-step exercises, students grasp essential concepts and develop core skills.

Hands-on Practice: Learning by doing is central to my approach. I encourage active participation through hands-on activities, exercises, and projects. Students engage in practical tasks that allow them to apply theoretical knowledge, experiment with different mediums, and explore their creative potential.

Personalized Feedback: Every student has unique strengths, challenges, and learning preferences. I offer personalized feedback and guidance tailored to individual needs. By observing students' work closely, I identify areas for improvement and provide constructive critique to help them progress effectively.

Encouragement of Creativity: While I provide structure and guidance, I also foster a supportive environment that encourages creative expression and experimentation. I believe in nurturing each student's artistic voice and empowering them to explore diverse styles, techniques, and ideas.

Integration of Technology: Given my expertise in ArchiCAD and visualization, I incorporate technology into my teaching where applicable. This may involve introducing digital drawing tools, 3D modelling software, or digital painting techniques to enhance students' skills and expand their creative repertoire.

Collaborative Learning: I value collaboration and peer interaction as valuable learning experiences. Group discussions, critique sessions, and collaborative projects foster a sense of community, inspire new ideas, and encourage students to learn from each other's perspectives.

As for the type of students I aspire to work with, I welcome individuals who are enthusiastic about learning and passionate about art and architecture. Whether you're a curious beginner eager to explore the world of drawing and painting or an experienced artist seeking to refine your craft, my classes are designed to accommodate diverse skill levels and ages. I appreciate students who are open-minded, motivated, and committed to growth, as we embark on this artistic journey together.

Education

In my educational journey, I obtained a Bachelor of Architecture (BArch) from the National University of Architecture and Construction of Armenia (NUACA) from September 2010 to May 2016. This foundational period equipped me with essential architectural theory, design principles, and technical skills.

Subsequently, I pursued a Master of Architecture (MArch) in Architectural Engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) from September 2016 to September 2018. This advanced program provided specialized knowledge in Building Information Modeling (BIM), sustainable design, and other critical architectural practices. Through rigorous coursework and hands-on projects, I developed expertise in utilizing cutting-edge technologies and sustainable design principles to address contemporary architectural challenges.

These educational experiences have laid a strong foundation for my career, enabling me to blend theoretical understanding with practical applications in architectural design and engineering.

Experience / Qualifications

My journey in architecture has been rich and varied, encompassing diverse roles and experiences across different organizations. Currently, I work as an architect at Sill and Sound Architects in Brussels, Belgium, where I've been part-time since February 2018. Here, I engage in architectural modelling and contribute to a range of projects, honing my skills in architectural design and related areas.

Previously, I had the opportunity to lead the architecture department at IMEX GROUP in Yerevan, Armenia, where I served as Head of the Architecture Department from September 2020 to February 2021. During my tenure, I oversaw various architectural projects and managed a team of architects, showcasing my expertise in architectural drawings and related fields.

Before that, I worked as an architect at SP2 in Yerevan, Armenia, from April 2020 to September 2020, where I contributed to both architectural and interior architecture projects. My responsibilities here allowed me to further develop my skills in architectural design and interior architecture.

Additionally, I gained valuable experience as an Assistant to the Head of the Committee at the Cadastre Committee of Armenia, where I provided support to the head of the committee from February 2019 to June 2020.

In addition to my professional endeavours, I have a passion for teaching and have had the privilege of working with students of various ages in both Armenia and Brussels. In Armenia, I taught drawing to kids above 12 years old at art schools, nurturing their artistic talents and creativity. In Brussels, I conducted personalized drawing courses for school and university students, tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs and goals. This teaching experience has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to share my knowledge and inspire the next generation of architects and artists.

Young graduate in Architecture at the Catholic University of Louvain - LOCI - Bruxlles, I propose an individualized pedagogy, a help with the preparation of the interrogations in fields related to the architecture.

The programs in which I work and in which I can help you are: Adobe Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator, Archicad, Cinema 4d, Artlantis, Lumion etc.

For Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, I designed the course as a practical guide and we will also learn a lot of details.

Private Painting and Drawing lessons, any level! I am a classically trained painter, I have been painting seriously for 20 years and studied intensively in Florence, Italy. I will teach you the basics about light, form, line, colour and space, and how to constantly grow and improve. We start with drawing from observation and continue to other mediums, including oil paint, once the student is ready.

Landscape, still life, portrait, expressive. My goal is to help my students improve every time and reach a new level. I provide many examples from art history as well as my own work, and give lots of demonstrations. I offer a personalized approach fitted to each student.

The classes are in a small group format, no more than 4 at a time and each student works at their own pace, it is private classes with other students present, offering a supportive environment in which to learn and grow. Each student receives personalized instruction at their own level. Each student is guaranteed to improve.

I ask for a commitment of 5 lessons at a time to see some improvement, and I accept students who are looking for longer term learning. Commitment is a must to grow! Try out one lesson to see if the class is a good for for you. My students tend to stay with me for the long term, if it is the right fit.

The classes take place in my studio in the charming location of Grand Hospice, a converted hospice in the city center of Brussels.

I teach in such a way as to fully respect everyone's desires and inspirations: art must remain personal and exciting. Each lesson is adapted to the student(s). It can be both academic courses (technique and mastery of different materials), as well as reflection on the challenges of art, or even the development of a personal project...

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.

To create a simple illustration, a beautiful poster or a comic strip, you will acquire several artistic disciplines. Drawing, layout, color theory, character creation, as well as narrative sequence and screenwriting.

A mix of practical information and theoretical bases shared in a good mood to express yourself and create beautiful things!

Note: ALL SUPPLIES & TOOLS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE STUDENTS FOR THE FIRST TEN (10) LESSONS — All canvas, stretcher-bars, panels, paper, brushes, pens, pencils, ink, charcoal, paints, varnish, etc. The finished artworks are, of course, your to keep.

There are many ways to create a so-called "realistic" oil painting. And there are many visual tools that an artist can use to make a beautiful visual statement. Whether using thick impastos, thin washes of solvent-based color, bodied glazes, or mixed media elements, each technique can yield an engaging visual experience. Painting is, after all, a means of communication.

In this course, we will begin with the basic ideas and techniques for drawing and painting forms as the eye sees them. You will learn every stage for producing aesthetically pleasing and technically strong oil paintings. We will discuss concepts and ideas for painting, developing different studies, stretching the canvas, line drawing, tonal lay-in, dead-coloring (or color block-in), and modeling the forms (1st painting, 2nd painting, and finishing). We will also cover the techniques of alla prima or premier coup (direct painting in one pass). We will also study the formal methods of composition, different kinds of perspectives, paint surface and paint quality (facture), and proportions. And, of course, we will discuss the use of varnishes, including the final picture varnish.

Stay calm and confident if some of these terms are new to you. We will adapt the lessons for each artist. I will help you to learn, understand, and perform each step of the painting process.

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced painter: there is something for you!

Want to learn how to draw portraits that look almost like a photograph? I can help you start with the base, the sketching, and how to blend using both colored pencils and graphite pencils. Also using pens, both ink and Bic.

If you need help for your GCSE or A-level portfolio, I will be able to assist you and guide you on getting a high grade. (Coming from someone who got an A*). I will make sure you pass your exam and get a high grade.

For kids, they will create different crafts that they could bring home and hang up on their wall. I will teach them fun ways to be creative, and every time they come in for a class, they will leave with something new.
