My daughter (K.) had her first lesson with Smaranda today and she enjoyed it every much. Smaranda asked questions to understand K.'s preferences and interests so that she can tailor the class accordingly, which also made for a highly enjoyable class. Smaranda took the time to explain things at first and then let K. explore the assignment at her pace. She shared tips and tricks that K. found very useful. All in all a great first lesson, and K. is very much looking forward to the next one.

I graduated from the University of Syria (Architecture) in 2015. I feel comfortable teaching college and university students as well as adults who want to enter the interior design profession. I understand that as creative individuals we all process information differently, therefore my teaching methods will be tailored to your requirements. Class times will also be scheduled around your availability.

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.
