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.

➤ From NVC (Non Violent Communication) to pragmatic tools, empathy and emotional intelligence.
From personal to professional. From theory to practice with simulations. It's about putting in place rational tools to defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / security zone. In particular simple techniques which make it possible to improve its intimate, personal, professional relations to even solve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and durable way.

➤ Indeed, the objective is to improve personal / professional communication & overcome any resulting conflicts. So how do you get a clear message across and make a difference?

➤ More precisely, the objectives are to:
0. Understand and identify the issues/risks then find a balance between empathy and conviction.
1. Use interpersonal communication techniques resulting from mediation to defuse tensions and gain distance.
2. Dissociate the relational and the nature of the disagreement - Overcome cognitive and psychological obstacles.
3. Acquire the techniques of self-defense and mastery without hurting and being hurt.
4. Face then defuse difficult behaviors (attempts at blackmail, threat, destabilization) or even dangerous with a mediation strategy.
5. Develop conflict management and negotiation skills, alternating attentive listening, active speaking and rationality in the face of the limited rationality of the angry individual.

➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, defusing conflicts, negotiating and speaking relevant and successful must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating an adequacy between the message received and the message sent. Consistency between form and substance.

➤ So, how to listen and be listened to, convince and be impactful, challenge and mark the spirits, enhance its content, address its audience effectively and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange / message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of verbal and non-verbal communication.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of simulations and scenarios based on your daily experience supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve self-confidence, self-confidence, but also to work on one's leadership & charisma.

➤ So, after having precisely defined your objective & gone through the blockages encountered, here are some examples of themes covered through concrete techniques & a methodology:
✓Tools and deployment of conflict management tools, including CNV.
✓Perfecting his rhetoric/repartee.
✓Fundamentals of Body Language to support and not interfere with the speech while being convinced & convincing, thus ensuring consistency between content & form.

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, this from the 1st session.

➤ This training allows you to learn about the concepts of emotional intelligence & empathy with the aim of better recognizing and understanding your own emotions and those of others. Being aware of emotions allows better management of behavior in human relationships, both in the professional, private and entrepreneurial context. For example, as a management key, it allows you to:

• Measure the impact of emotions in team management.

Emotional intelligence is a process of personal development over time. This training allows you to initiate the process, with concrete tools that can be applied on a daily basis. This training combines group activities, individual reflections, videos and scenarios.

From theory to practice with simulations. It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to achieve the objectives set together and overcome the blockages initially defined.


➤ Controlled, the techniques allow:

• improve credibility, self-confidence and ease (verbal-bodily) with public speaking and a more fluid sense of repartee

• defuse conflicts and enter their comfort/safety zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and lasting way, for example through CNV (Non-Violent Communication).

• to better manage negotiation situations (contrary to the clichés conveyed, negotiation is not only financial, but it can involve small daily events).

• Match the substance and form of your message while improving the use of your emotional intelligence.

➤ What you will get out of it:
• Better control of emotions and therefore of your way of communicating.
• Better understanding of the feelings of others and the ability to manage them successfully.
• Better relationships in personal and professional life thanks to superior emotional intelligence.

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 :)

Remember the goal - you want to make good art.
A good critique will give you new insight, new direction, career advice and energy to do this!

Where am I going with this? Too much or not enough?
Learn to define your position, your place and your market.

I will offer perspective on your strengths and constructive feedback on what needs to be improved. There are ways to inspire what is working and how to improve your weaker points that builds confidence, technique and style.

Editing is key - colour, form, aesthetic, emotion, influence and pace. I can help you understand exciting trends in Contemporary Art and that relevance to Art History. I will provide you with the resources to dig deeper and show you your next steps. At the end of the critique you will feel equipped and excited to get to work.

Recommended booking - 3 classes including introduction, follow up and final presentation.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation.

Are you applying to university for a creative subject?

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.

Learn digital illustration through personalized lessons focused on the areas you want or need to improve the most. The classes are adapted to your current level, artistic goals, and the kind of work you want to create.

We can explore different illustration techniques and approaches, including black-and-white artwork, grayscale painting, full-color illustration, character-focused pieces, and more stylized or rendered work. Rather than following the exact same program for every student, the lessons can focus on the techniques that are most useful for your development.

Depending on your goals, we can work on composition, color theory, lighting, anatomy, perspective, shape language, character design, visual storytelling, concept art, game art, and other fundamentals of digital illustration.

You can also bring your own illustrations, sketches, studies, or personal projects to class. We can analyze what is working, identify areas that could be improved, and work directly on the skills necessary to take your artwork further.

The goal is not only to learn specific tools or techniques, but also to develop a stronger understanding of the artistic decisions behind an illustration and gradually build a workflow that works for you.

My name is Nayara, and I offer art classes tailored to each student's level, age, and goals. My strengths lie in pencil, acrylic, and oil painting, though I can also help with basic drawing techniques, color theory, composition, and various art projects.
I am currently studying Visual Arts in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, so I can help both students who want to learn as a hobby and students who need to improve their results in the art subject.
In my classes we can work on:
- Acrylic and oil paint
- Basic drawing techniques
- Color theory and mixing
- Composition and proportion
- Development of ideas and creativity
- Help with homework and school projects
- Support to improve grades
- Crafts and creative projects
I like to tailor my classes to each individual and make them dynamic, practical, and engaging. Instead of just teaching theory, I prepare each class in advance, gathering all the necessary materials and resources. My goal is for every student to develop their creativity, improve their technique, and, above all, enjoy the artistic process.
The classes are specially designed for children, teenagers and beginners, although I can also adapt to students with more experience.

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of experience exhibiting, researching and developing my practice internationally. I offer individual art lessons and mentoring for students of different ages and levels, from beginners who want to learn how to draw or paint to more experienced artists who want to develop a stronger and more personal body of work.

Lessons are adapted to each student. We can work with observational drawing, painting, composition, materials and technique, but also with ideas, references, art history, sketchbooks and the development of your own visual language.

I also work with students preparing portfolios and applications for art schools, universities, residencies and other professional opportunities, as well as artists who feel stuck and want to rethink or strengthen their creative practice.

My aim is not simply to teach you how to reproduce an image, but to help you understand what you want to make, why you want to make it, and how to develop the skills and references necessary to make it your own.

Classes are available in English or Portuguese and are shaped around your interests, experience and goals.

I studied the full CCNA curriculum in 45 days: NetAcad classes plus 150+ hours of theory and hands-on labs in Packet Tracer (OSPF, EIGRP, VLANs, STP, HSRP, ACLs, NAT). I score around 90% on full-length practice exams. I haven't taken the official exam yet (I'm preparing for it myself), so I'm not a certified instructor. What I offer is a recent, hands-on understanding of the material and of where learners get stuck, because I started from zero too.

I teach networking from first principles: why a protocol works, not just what to memorize. We cover IP addressing and subnetting, switching, routing, network services and basic security, with exam-style questions and Packet Tracer labs.

Sessions are in English or Spanish, which helps if you understand the concepts better in Spanish but need the English technical vocabulary the exam uses.

What we can do together:
- Understand topics you're stuck on (subnetting, VLANs, routing, STP)
- Practice exam-style questions and labs
- Build the English technical vocabulary for the exam
- Plan your study order and review weak areas

Online sessions via Zoom or Google Meet. Packet Tracer is free from Cisco NetAcad.

After studying art for fifteen years in a Parisian workshop and starting a preparatory course in Art at the Beaux-Arts de Lyon, I offer an introduction to digital drawing techniques.

During my studio training, I experimented with numerous techniques (life drawing, still life, painting, cyanotype, engraving, pastel, charcoal, sculpture) which I now use in my digital drawings. I have been drawing on Krita for a year now, creating posters, original drawings, and animations.

Today, I offer to guide people interested in digital drawing techniques for a few hours. During this introductory session, I can adapt to each individual's preferences, whether they focus on line work, color, or composition.

My goal is to foster an interest in art and digital drawing in each and every one of my students, ensuring both enjoyable lessons and rapid progress. I look forward to seeing everyone's creations and am curious about your artistic ambitions.

My teachings


The aim of this introduction to digital drawing is to allow students to gain an initial appreciation of the techniques and potential of digital drawing. First, we will cover the basic parameters of the Krita software and install the necessary software to ensure access to its various features before exploring the artistic possibilities of this format. Throughout this introduction, my goal is also to ensure the student enjoys the process and, more generally, to encourage them to pursue their artistic interests and curiosities.

We will use various digital drawing techniques: layers, masks, brushes, colors and the color triangle, animation (for beginners), coloring, and selection and transformation tools. If desired, I can also offer tests to check that the student has understood each step; however, in all cases, developing autonomy is central to this introduction, and this is achieved without the need for tests.

Upon completion of this introductory course, students will be able to use Krita's basic tools independently, creating digital drawings and, if they wish, their first animations. They will be proficient in using the various tools covered. Results will be quickly visible, and each student will soon be able to implement their own projects, which I will be delighted to support.

I offer this introductory course on Krita, which remains particularly accessible as it is free. Therefore, the financial commitment for this course does not include the purchase of software. Should the student wish to purchase software to further develop and professionalize their skills, I can recommend software based on their specialization (video editing, animation, digital painting, etc.).

Digital drawing generally requires the purchase of a pad or tablet. For in-person classes, I provide the pad to minimize the financial commitment for what is, after all, an introductory course. This also gives students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with these tools, get comfortable with them, and make informed choices about their equipment. For online classes, however, students will need to purchase their own pad; I can then provide relevant recommendations. It is also possible to draw digitally without a pad using Krita, and although more challenging, it remains an interesting option for those who are not yet sure about continuing their digital drawing training.


Course format

Group classes for multiple students are also possible if each student has a tablet. In this case, I offer discounted rates per household to make this option attractive to everyone.

If the student makes progress on their own outside of class, it is perfectly possible for me to take up their work and questions in the following class and therefore progress at their own pace.

I offer both in-person and online classes. I have the necessary equipment to ensure successful online lessons. One of the advantages of digital drawing is that it is easy to teach remotely.

For home lessons, an additional charge may apply when travel is particularly significant or when schedules are restrictive.

Feel free to contact me with any further questions or if you require further clarification regarding the proposed format or the support provided.

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 :)

Remember the goal - you want to make good art.
A good critique will give you new insight, new direction, career advice and energy to do this!

Where am I going with this? Too much or not enough?
Learn to define your position, your place and your market.

I will offer perspective on your strengths and constructive feedback on what needs to be improved. There are ways to inspire what is working and how to improve your weaker points that builds confidence, technique and style.

Editing is key - colour, form, aesthetic, emotion, influence and pace. I can help you understand exciting trends in Contemporary Art and that relevance to Art History. I will provide you with the resources to dig deeper and show you your next steps. At the end of the critique you will feel equipped and excited to get to work.

Recommended booking - 3 classes including introduction, follow up and final presentation.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation.

Are you applying to university for a creative subject?

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.

Learn digital illustration through personalized lessons focused on the areas you want or need to improve the most. The classes are adapted to your current level, artistic goals, and the kind of work you want to create.

We can explore different illustration techniques and approaches, including black-and-white artwork, grayscale painting, full-color illustration, character-focused pieces, and more stylized or rendered work. Rather than following the exact same program for every student, the lessons can focus on the techniques that are most useful for your development.

Depending on your goals, we can work on composition, color theory, lighting, anatomy, perspective, shape language, character design, visual storytelling, concept art, game art, and other fundamentals of digital illustration.

You can also bring your own illustrations, sketches, studies, or personal projects to class. We can analyze what is working, identify areas that could be improved, and work directly on the skills necessary to take your artwork further.

The goal is not only to learn specific tools or techniques, but also to develop a stronger understanding of the artistic decisions behind an illustration and gradually build a workflow that works for you.

My name is Nayara, and I offer art classes tailored to each student's level, age, and goals. My strengths lie in pencil, acrylic, and oil painting, though I can also help with basic drawing techniques, color theory, composition, and various art projects.
I am currently studying Visual Arts in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, so I can help both students who want to learn as a hobby and students who need to improve their results in the art subject.
In my classes we can work on:
- Acrylic and oil paint
- Basic drawing techniques
- Color theory and mixing
- Composition and proportion
- Development of ideas and creativity
- Help with homework and school projects
- Support to improve grades
- Crafts and creative projects
I like to tailor my classes to each individual and make them dynamic, practical, and engaging. Instead of just teaching theory, I prepare each class in advance, gathering all the necessary materials and resources. My goal is for every student to develop their creativity, improve their technique, and, above all, enjoy the artistic process.
The classes are specially designed for children, teenagers and beginners, although I can also adapt to students with more experience.

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of experience exhibiting, researching and developing my practice internationally. I offer individual art lessons and mentoring for students of different ages and levels, from beginners who want to learn how to draw or paint to more experienced artists who want to develop a stronger and more personal body of work.

Lessons are adapted to each student. We can work with observational drawing, painting, composition, materials and technique, but also with ideas, references, art history, sketchbooks and the development of your own visual language.

I also work with students preparing portfolios and applications for art schools, universities, residencies and other professional opportunities, as well as artists who feel stuck and want to rethink or strengthen their creative practice.

My aim is not simply to teach you how to reproduce an image, but to help you understand what you want to make, why you want to make it, and how to develop the skills and references necessary to make it your own.

Classes are available in English or Portuguese and are shaped around your interests, experience and goals.

I studied the full CCNA curriculum in 45 days: NetAcad classes plus 150+ hours of theory and hands-on labs in Packet Tracer (OSPF, EIGRP, VLANs, STP, HSRP, ACLs, NAT). I score around 90% on full-length practice exams. I haven't taken the official exam yet (I'm preparing for it myself), so I'm not a certified instructor. What I offer is a recent, hands-on understanding of the material and of where learners get stuck, because I started from zero too.

I teach networking from first principles: why a protocol works, not just what to memorize. We cover IP addressing and subnetting, switching, routing, network services and basic security, with exam-style questions and Packet Tracer labs.

Sessions are in English or Spanish, which helps if you understand the concepts better in Spanish but need the English technical vocabulary the exam uses.

What we can do together:
- Understand topics you're stuck on (subnetting, VLANs, routing, STP)
- Practice exam-style questions and labs
- Build the English technical vocabulary for the exam
- Plan your study order and review weak areas

Online sessions via Zoom or Google Meet. Packet Tracer is free from Cisco NetAcad.

After studying art for fifteen years in a Parisian workshop and starting a preparatory course in Art at the Beaux-Arts de Lyon, I offer an introduction to digital drawing techniques.

During my studio training, I experimented with numerous techniques (life drawing, still life, painting, cyanotype, engraving, pastel, charcoal, sculpture) which I now use in my digital drawings. I have been drawing on Krita for a year now, creating posters, original drawings, and animations.

Today, I offer to guide people interested in digital drawing techniques for a few hours. During this introductory session, I can adapt to each individual's preferences, whether they focus on line work, color, or composition.

My goal is to foster an interest in art and digital drawing in each and every one of my students, ensuring both enjoyable lessons and rapid progress. I look forward to seeing everyone's creations and am curious about your artistic ambitions.

My teachings


The aim of this introduction to digital drawing is to allow students to gain an initial appreciation of the techniques and potential of digital drawing. First, we will cover the basic parameters of the Krita software and install the necessary software to ensure access to its various features before exploring the artistic possibilities of this format. Throughout this introduction, my goal is also to ensure the student enjoys the process and, more generally, to encourage them to pursue their artistic interests and curiosities.

We will use various digital drawing techniques: layers, masks, brushes, colors and the color triangle, animation (for beginners), coloring, and selection and transformation tools. If desired, I can also offer tests to check that the student has understood each step; however, in all cases, developing autonomy is central to this introduction, and this is achieved without the need for tests.

Upon completion of this introductory course, students will be able to use Krita's basic tools independently, creating digital drawings and, if they wish, their first animations. They will be proficient in using the various tools covered. Results will be quickly visible, and each student will soon be able to implement their own projects, which I will be delighted to support.

I offer this introductory course on Krita, which remains particularly accessible as it is free. Therefore, the financial commitment for this course does not include the purchase of software. Should the student wish to purchase software to further develop and professionalize their skills, I can recommend software based on their specialization (video editing, animation, digital painting, etc.).

Digital drawing generally requires the purchase of a pad or tablet. For in-person classes, I provide the pad to minimize the financial commitment for what is, after all, an introductory course. This also gives students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with these tools, get comfortable with them, and make informed choices about their equipment. For online classes, however, students will need to purchase their own pad; I can then provide relevant recommendations. It is also possible to draw digitally without a pad using Krita, and although more challenging, it remains an interesting option for those who are not yet sure about continuing their digital drawing training.


Course format

Group classes for multiple students are also possible if each student has a tablet. In this case, I offer discounted rates per household to make this option attractive to everyone.

If the student makes progress on their own outside of class, it is perfectly possible for me to take up their work and questions in the following class and therefore progress at their own pace.

I offer both in-person and online classes. I have the necessary equipment to ensure successful online lessons. One of the advantages of digital drawing is that it is easy to teach remotely.

For home lessons, an additional charge may apply when travel is particularly significant or when schedules are restrictive.

Feel free to contact me with any further questions or if you require further clarification regarding the proposed format or the support provided.
