About Me
Hello,
I am an artist at [Transaction Art Universe], an art educator, and the creator of 10×10, an experimental drawing methodology I have been developing and testing for over six years.
I work with complete beginners, art and design students, and people who have already taken many drawing courses but feel that their knowledge is fragmented and lacks structure.
For me, drawing is not only a technical skill. It is also a way of observing, thinking, experimenting, and making decisions.
My goal is not simply to teach you how to draw, but to help you think like an artist.
This means learning to observe more carefully, test ideas, experiment, analyse results, change strategies and make independent visual decisions.
I also help art and design students identify and close gaps in their training, strengthen missing skills, catch up with their programme and gradually develop their own visual language and personal style.
I do not teach one “correct” way of drawing. Instead, I use structured exercises and visual problems that encourage you to search for your own solutions.
In our lessons, we analyse not only the final result, but also how you arrived at it: what you noticed, what decisions you made, what worked, what did not, and what you could try differently next time.
The programme is adapted to your current level, experience, and goals.

Experience / Qualifications
I have over 10 years of teaching experience and have worked with more than 700 students.
For the past six years, I have been developing and testing the 10×10 methodology — my own system for teaching drawing and developing creative and visual thinking.
10×10 combines drawing practice with exercises that develop observation, experimentation, artistic decision-making and independent thinking. The aim is not only to improve technical drawing skills, but to help students understand how they see, think and develop their own artistic language.
My teaching combines the fundamentals of classical drawing — form, volume, light, perspective, composition and colour — with abstraction, contemporary art, conceptual thinking, material exploration and experimentation.
The 10×10 methodology can also be adapted for teenagers and adults with difficulties in fine motor skills, with exercises adjusted to the individual student's abilities and pace.
