Art and interior design go hand in hand. Artwork should seamlessly blend with the space while showcasing the client’s personality. However, incorrect placement within the interior can result in an unbalanced space and diminish the artwork’s aesthetic appeal. Let’s explore ways to enhance interior aesthetics.
Design Initiation is a class designed for children, adolescents, and seniors alike.

Good day! I am an artist and teacher with over 12 years of experience. If you have long wanted to start doing art or just to understand it and did not know where to start, I would be happy to be your guide to this wonderful world! I teach academic drawing and painting and the basics of composition for any level of training. In drawing I emphasize constructive drawing, the development of plasticity, and knowledge of anatomy and perspective. We will learn different materials from pencil and charcoal to oil. In the summer we will practice working with landscape in the open air. If you are interested in contemporary art, we will study modern techniques, working with modern materials, and the theory and philosophy of contemporary art. I can help you prepare a portfolio for art school admissions. I work with students from the age of 13 upwards Classes are held at the student's home in Geneva and the surrounding area. Theoretical classes are available online. Classes are held in English and Russian. Feel free to write me if you have any additional questions! See you soon!

Private lessons in History, French and Art History
Good morning ! I am currently a master's student in general history at the University of Geneva. My studies allowed me to acquire a solid base of knowledge and skills, both in writing and in research. My knowledge of historical facts as well as Latin and ancient Greek will allow me, I hope, to be able to push the explanations given by the teachers in class and perhaps lift the veil on possible misunderstandings on the part of the students. The objective is to support students in difficulty as well as those who would simply like to consolidate their knowledge. In both cases, I am keen to be able to make the disciplines that I teach a little more digestible and to arouse students' interest in history, literature and the arts, to show them that not everything is not just a matter of stupid and nasty cramming, and that understanding always takes precedence over rote. It also seems essential to me to acquire a good sense of organization, which is the source of all effective and useful work. Therefore, if some students seem to be having difficulty with their homework and the organization of their lessons, I would be very happy to be able to help in this regard. Looking forward to meeting you, by webcam or live!
