Hi, how are you ? If you trust me, I will be your art coach. I´m a sociologist and a visual artist too. My main goal is to help you: you are the center of all my lessons: Your art skills. Your artistic style. Your art tastes. What you already do right now, and how you can improve. You can´t draw ? Everyone can draw. You don´t know who Picasso is ? Ok, we can fix that. You have no technique and think your painting has no quality ? We will see that later: you´ll be surprised on what can be considered good quality painting these days.
About me: I´m very calm and I like to analyse all artistic aspects: techniques, medium, art categories, forms and colors, connection to digital, and so on. I have a good visual arts´history knowledge; I´ve studied painting evolution since pre- historical times. I´ve been at AR.CO Art school, on Trassovivo art studio, Painter Carmina Samuel student, made dozens of art exhibitions. Art is a true passion of mine - and art pedagogy is key in my life.
Some quotes from people that I met over the years:
"My best student ever" - Art History Teacher Leonor Pepe
"The best artist I know" - Painter Gabriel Rito
"An art form that will last" - Painter Jorge Aragão
"He knows everything about painting" - Painter Gomes Lopes
Conceptual, Abstract, Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism... all this theory just scares you, hm ? No problem at all. My teaching style is very practical. Do you love transparencies ? Then I suggest Picabia. Do you like expressionism ? Ok, we begin with Basquiat. Remember: this is a visual approach to reality. We will use the KISS concept: Keep It Simple Stupid ! :-) (this method really exists)
You don´t need to have all this info before you begin painting or drawing, though. Art is incredibly simple - and yet very complex: Simple to understand and make; Complex to explain in words :-)
Visual arts have expanded it´s techniques, mediums and categories. This is a true creative adventure.
I´m waiting for you - Let´s Start...?
