About Me

Applying to Art School or building a portfolio can be daunting. What to include, what to improve on or add? I have applied to and been accepted into multiple Art Schools across the UK and internationally. I know what is required to be successful in applying for Art School and being accepted. I also know how to help you with the direction your practice needs to take. How to research an idea, what mediums to explore and utilize. Maybe you are feeling stuck with a project. Or maybe you feel you need to add more work to your portfolio. I am here for all types of advice. I know what it takes to complete an art project, from the research stages, to finishing the work and exhibiting it. I can also help with funding applications and writing.
I am also happy to help with projects where you are feeling stuck or want a fresh pair of eyes on your work.

Being an event organizer is one of the most exciting jobs in the world. So many industries from Arts to Music, History, Environment, Non Profit ,require events organized everyday. It is one of the most rewarding jobs as you will get to travel, meet many new and interesting people, expand your knowledge about subjects, challenge yourself with new scenarios, belong to a great team. But being an event organizer is not a simple task. You will need to develop a system thinking and being able to see the bigger picture. You will need ro know how to face stress, deal with last minute changes, deal with complaints, deal with issues,deal emergencies, organize a whole team, support your team, coordinate artists or any other stakeholders. You will have to develop a creative problem solving skill and maintain calm at all times. I have a great passion for Events Management and the number one requirement you need is going to be being able to read people and read the situation. I will teach you both the soft skills and all the technical skills required to organize any type of event from small to big. I am going to also leave you with tips on how to prepare your mind and body to this type of work.

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.

CINEMA, ACTING, IMPROVISATION WORKSHOPS - - -
These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting. Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive. The objective of this training is to be able to: - Analyze and dissect a text - Create, develop and embody a character - Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play - Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity (...) Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. - As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round. THE TRAINER From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.
