About Me

I am an international curator with 15 years experience working with private and public collections and as an independent curator. My practice takes a context-specific approach that develops through long-term conversations with artists, students, and communities and results in a process of co-creation.

Art history for beginners
The history of art is vast and wonderful. By studying it, we not only learn techniques, but we also discover the richness of the different cultures that exist in the world. Our differences are reflected in the beliefs that give rise to our works, and in the techniques developed thanks to the ingredients from each area. From cave paintings to contemporary art, we will see the history of humanity captured in pieces that defy the passage of time. This course is ideal for: - Students of artistic careers (I have a degree in visual arts). - Students who need school support. - Fans who love our history. The History of art is vast and wonderful.

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.
