About Me

Hi, I’m Bella.

I believe art and design education can inspire children and teenagers to express their ideas and feelings creatively through various art elements, materials, and creative approaches. I want to be the inspirational art and design teacher who not only encourages children to express their ideas and feelings creatively and confidently but also uses art and design to discover their talents and interests to prepare for their future.

I’m an educator and artist based in London with ten+ years of experience in the art and design field. I have studied art and design in different counties – the United Kingdom, the United States, and Hong Kong, which led me to gain a wide range of art and design knowledge and techniques.

With the experience I acquired, I graduated from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design earning a first-class degree with my artworks exhibited in major museums and exhibitions, such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, Barbican Centre, British Museum, JOYA Barcelona Contemporary Jewellery Fair and Beijing International Jewelry Art Exhibition.

As an art educator, I have developed and acquired a wide range of skills in creative teaching methods through my 5+ years of teaching art and design experience which students and parents find my lessons full of joy yet challenging!​

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
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.

Trained painter and Creator-Researcher in the arts gives courses in Painting with historical influences
This course offers an in-depth exploration of painting, with an emphasis on the techniques, styles, and artistic movements that have marked the history of art. Intended for students of all levels, the course combines practical painting sessions with theoretical studies of iconic works, allowing participants to draw inspiration from old and contemporary masters to develop their own style. Currently studying art history at the École du Louvre, and having studied in prestigious schools such as the École Olivier de Serres, I am a creator-researcher in contemporary art, specializing in culinary design, which enriches my pedagogical approach with a unique interdisciplinary perspective. Students will learn to master various painting techniques, such as oil, acrylic, and watercolor, while discovering how these mediums have evolved over the centuries, techniques that I learned in particular during my professional experience in the museographic workshops (decoration painting) of the Louvre Museum. In parallel, discussions and analyses of works of art will allow us to situate the practice of painting in a broader historical and cultural context.

Online drawing class - Technics & imagination - all publics
I’m a drawing teacher and artist living in Paris. Since 6 years, I provide drawing class to many publics, from school to urban sketching sessions. Since two years, I also give online drawing class for all public. I have an IPad, so I can share my screen to guide my student by drawing directly on it and show them some drawing technics as if we were on the same spot. Learning drawing is half about learning basics technics, like perspective, contrasts and human form, and half about trusting your own vision, by observation work or imagination exercices. My teaching program is always a combination of those elements.
