About Me

Hello, my name is Anna,
I'm a designer based in Greece, having graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Currently, I'm working for Cecilie Bahnsen, a Copenhagen-based brand, and in my free time, I teach and consult designers. I have attended universities like Central Saint Martins, Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Middlesex University and Polimoda. My big journey of preparation and research for my education required hard work and dedication. This process often had me feeling stressed and devastated. That's the reason why I would like to help and facilitate the young generations to make a proper portfolio/application with someone who shares their passion and agony. I'm very calm, patient and engaging with my students, always experimenting and seeking creative solutions for each individual.

Feel free to message me!

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. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

This mentoring program is designed for artists, designers, photographers, fashion professionals and creative practitioners who want to strengthen their portfolio, CV and project presentation materials.

Whether you are applying for a university program, master's degree, residency, grant, award, exhibition opportunity or professional position, we will work together to develop a clear and compelling presentation of your work.

Sessions are highly practical and tailored to your specific goals. We can review and improve portfolios, artist statements, project dossiers, CVs, motivation letters and application materials. We can also work on project development itself, helping you select the most relevant works, strengthen concepts, improve feasibility and highlight research, process and contextual references.

The mentoring process can also help identify strengths, gaps and future development opportunities, providing a clearer direction for your professional growth.

Meaningful results can often be achieved in as few as three sessions. After our first meeting, we will define the most effective path based on your objectives and current materials.

My classes are designed to help students and professionals build strong skills in Technical Drawing, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Fusion 360 (CAD/CAM), whether you are a complete beginner or looking to advance your existing knowledge.

The first class allows us to get to know each other, assess your current skill level, and clearly understand your learning goals. During this session, we will discuss what you want to achieve, whether it is exam preparation, academic support, project assistance, professional development, or mastering industry-standard CAD/CAM workflows.

After the introductory session, I create a personalized learning plan tailored to your needs and pace. My teaching style is practical, patient, and interactive, with step-by-step guidance, hands-on exercises, and real-world examples to ensure you gain both confidence and technical competence.

As a professional illustrator and concept artist, I offer personalized drawing, illustration, and digital painting lessons, primarily for adults and teenagers. Children interested in learning to draw can also be guided with age-appropriate exercises.

The course content is tailored to your level, goals, and interests. We can work on the fundamentals of drawing: observation, construction, proportions, perspective, light, color, and composition. Sessions can also focus on creating characters, creatures, settings, and fantasy, historical, or science fiction worlds.

For students interested in digital illustration, I offer an introduction or advanced course on Photoshop: getting to grips with the software, using layers and painting tools, creating a composition, coloring, working on atmospheres and finalizing an illustration.

Each lesson includes explanations, demonstrations, practical exercises, and personalized feedback. I can also assist you with a personal project, the development of your artistic style, or the improvement of your portfolio.

My method is based on my professional experience and on a process combining visual research, sketching, composition, 3D bases when useful, then paintover and 2D finishing touches.

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.
