I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.
Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don't always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!
Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.
The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.
(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Want to learn to play the drums?
Easy as 1,2,3.
With me you will learn the basics, play along with your favorite music and build your own grooves.
Preferably in my studio, but it can also be at yours.
I have been behind the kit for 15 years in different styles (rock, jazz, reggae, afrobeat).
If you have any questions, please feel free to send a message :)

Super teacher
Idris is a fantastic drum teacher who creates a pleasant and inspiring learning environment. My 9 year old son, who has just started playing drums, feels completely at ease with him. Idris knows how to convey his enthusiasm for music and tailors his lessons perfectly to my son's level and interests. Highly recommended for beginning drummers!
