Expertise

The studio offers courses and workshops for beginners, intermediate students and students with previous academic or artistic training. The teaching combines strong academic foundations with personal creative development, exploring academic art as a starting point for contemporary creation. Students work from observation, the natural model, proportion, composition and colour, while also exploring modern art movements, synthesis, abstraction and personal interpretation. The aim is not to remain in a closed classical approach, but to use technique as a foundation for building confidence, creativity and an individual artistic language.
