You don’t need an expensive camera. A smartphone is more than enough, and I’ll show you how to use it to capture high-quality, well-composed images.

A smartphone (any recent model is fine)
Optional: a camera if you already own one
Access to outdoor or indoor spaces to practice
Instagram or a platform if you’d like feedback on your content (optional)

Practical, hands-on learning (not just theory)

About Me

Hi, I’m an architecture student with a strong passion for visual storytelling, photography, and design.

My work focuses on capturing spaces in a way that feels intentional and visually striking — whether that’s architecture, urban environments, or everyday moments. I’m particularly interested in how composition, light, and perspective can completely change the way a space is experienced.

Alongside my studies, I’ve developed skills in photography, layout design, and creative direction, which I now use to help others improve their visual work. I understand what it’s like to start from scratch, so my teaching approach is clear, practical, and easy to follow.

I specialise in helping beginners:

Improve their photography using just their phone
Understand composition and framing
Develop a clean, consistent visual style
Build confidence in their creative work

My lessons are relaxed, supportive, and tailored to each student. Whether you’re looking to improve your photos for personal use, social media, or a portfolio, I’ll help you develop skills you can actually use.

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.

Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language.

If you think drawing is difficult or you've been trying for a while and aren't improving, the problem isn't your talent: Nobody has taught you how to make it easy, fun, and less frustrating.

In my classes I welcome students of all levels, from beginners to advanced. I also teach in English.

I use a method based on the student's goals and needs. It doesn't matter if it's just a hobby or if you want something more professional. The structure adapts perfectly to what you're looking for and can change throughout the course.

My goal isn't just for you to learn, but for you to have fun while you improve. We'll learn using your favorite series, comics, and webtoons. No boring exercises, just drawing. We'll analyze the work of the artists you admire, and you'll learn the tricks that real professionals use.

You will learn: Manga/Anime, Comics, Narrative, Illustration, Drawing, Digital and Traditional Art, Character and Environment Design, Anatomy, Landscapes.

Shall we learn together?

This ARTCLUB can teach you how to draw correct and you enjoying the process is my goal, to teach and share how to draw nice sketches and drawings. You can also ask me in class if you need to learn to speak languages like Danish, Ukrainian, Russian, and if you want to learn English, I can help too. For example, like how we say 'pencil' in Ukrainian, but the main thing is that you can talk to me freely without hesitation. I will always answer questions about the lesson, so don’t be afraid and just chat

Learn to Think and Draw Like an Artist: Tailored Art & Comics Coaching
Hello! I am a professional artist and instructor based in Milan, and I am here to help you dive into the world of visual arts. Whether you are an absolute beginner starting a new hobby, an advanced artist looking to challenge your limits, or a comics professional eager to master complex visual storytelling, these lessons are tailored to your specific goals.
I offer personalized, one-on-one coaching in a wide variety of disciplines:
• Drawing & Sketching: Build muscle memory and train your hand-eye coordination. Master the pillars—proportions, perspective, light, and shadow.
• Oil & Watercolor Painting: Understand color through practice, mastering blending, layering, and medium control.
• Comics & Illustration: Discover character design, anatomy, dynamic composition, and how to inject real life and personality into your figures.
• Indian Ink (Inchiostro di China): Learn elegant ink techniques, stroke control, and dramatic high-contrast shading.
My Teaching Approach:
I don't believe in rigid templates or magical formulas. You cannot learn to play an instrument just by reading music, and you cannot learn to draw by simply memorizing geometric clichés. Drawing is not a rational process; as the great master Moebius showed us, a line only truly comes to life when you quiet down the analytical mind and tap into the intuitive "right side" of your brain. My method is hands-on: we practice first, we analyze after.
We will push past creative blocks and technical limits through focused, action-driven exercises designed to train your hand to instantly obey what your mind sees. Once the drawing is on paper, we will use technical theory only as a secondary diagnostic tool—an "anatomy check"—to polish mistakes and make your unique personal style truly shine.
Lessons can be held in person in Milan (in English or Italian) or online via webcam. All ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced professionals, are welcome! Feel free to message me with your ideas before booking. Let’s start creating together!

The core of this mentorship focuses on capturing form, light, and subject matter—including human anatomy, portraiture, figure study, landscape, and still life. You will gain direct visual command over your subjects, learning to render seamless halftones and lifelike skin textures whether working from live studio setups, Old Masters, photographs, or en plein air.

Structured Layering & Classical Methods

To bring your vision to life, we build each piece through proven historical methods. You will start with structural underpaintings using charcoal, pastel, tempera, or oil, before advancing into multi-layered glazes (Old Masters technique) and expressive, direct Alla Prima painting.

Material Chemistry & Archival Craft

Finally, you will master the essential technical foundation required for museum-level durability. This covers everything from stretching custom canvases and selecting thread weights to preparing specialized gesso primers, controlling oil chemistry (linseed, walnut), and applying final archival varnishes.

Learn to use Canva from scratch, practically and at your own pace. I'm a psychologist and teacher, and I use Canva daily to create presentations, guides, training materials, and social media content with a strong visual identity.

In classes you will learn to:
• Navigating Canva: templates, elements, texts, photos, and colors.
• Create engaging presentations for school, university, or work.
• Design school projects, infographics, concept maps, and covers.
• Create posts, stories, and short videos for social media.
• Create a simple visual identity (colors, fonts and logo) for your project or business.
• Download, share, and present your designs.

For whom: children from 9 years old (accompanied by an adult if they prefer), teenagers, university students, teachers and entrepreneurs.

How the classes are: We work on a real project of yours from the very first session (a presentation, a paper, or your brand), so you leave each class with something finished. Classes are held via video call (Zoom or Google Meet) with screen sharing.
