Japanese Ink painting/Sumi-e art.Using just simple black ink and carefully curated white space, Sumi-e captures the timeless beauty

Japanese Ink painting called also Sumi-e is a special painting that is based on painting with ink. Using just simple black ink and carefully curated white space, Sumi-e captures the timeless beauty and complexity of the natural world. This painting style started in the Zen Buddhist temples in China, after developed in Japan.It is an important connection because the first Ink paintings were made as the meditation practices. Sumi-e works are minimalistic, precise and the brush movements are important. The painting creation process is as important as a result. This class will be practical, we will paint together online or in the person. I can send you the needed materials.

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.

(e.g. conceptualizing, sketching, modelling, contextualizing, mapping, diagramming) 2- Aesthetic and practical considerations (e.g. expression, quality, human perception, climate, sustainability) 3- The spatial experience and how to materialize it (e.g. space and structure, flow and movement, materiality, detailing) 4- the modes of architectural drawing and visualization (e.g. plans, sections, elevations, axonometrics, perspectives, collages, layouts) 5- Relevant softwares (e.g. AutoCAD, Rhino3D, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
