About Me
Cbloxx (Jay) is an English muralist, painter and multidisciplinary artist. They became most well known for co-founding internationally acclaimed street art duo Nomad Clan who notably painted the tallest mural in the UK. Currently based in the wilderness of the Yorkshire Pennines having left the dust bowl of Los Angeles, Cbloxx resumed solo practice in 2020 after 8 transformative years touring globally with Nomad. A tangled myriad of humanitarian issues sits at the epicentre of their portfolio, through public art murals that attempt to reconnect local people to their environments, honouring local community heritage through stories and folklore.Cbloxx’s predominant weapon of choice is aerosol, with over 18 years experience working tirelessly with the medium. Layers of fine freehand details bring an otherworldly realism to their famed portraiture, faces of triumph, resilience, passion.
Cbloxx public art practise has deep roots in their studio work, an accomplished oil/acrylic painter as well as recently developing stone carving.
'This winter I am offering my students the chance to hunker down and work with me online from my home studio & maybe even my stone studio if internet permits!

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.

Art history lessons by an art teacher, at any level, online or in Velp.Everyone learns differently. That's why I teach the way you want. You decide what you want to learn and how, including when your lesson takes place and how long it lasts.
I teach art history to anyone who wants to, regardless of age or level, online or at my home in Velp. You can learn about, among other things, the visual arts, music and literature from prehistory to the present. You can work towards an exam/test/training or just learn out of interest. Whether it concerns Michelangelo's David or the graffiti on the walls of Dubai, I'll be happy to tell you about it. Anything is possible.
I am trained as a musician/writer and am a second-degree teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in education and have been teaching art history, music history, creative writing and other subjects at the senior level of a small secondary school for a number of years, where I am also a team member. I write teaching materials that are used at various schools in secondary and higher education. I have a lot of experience with innovative education and one-on-one teaching.
If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
In addition to art history, you can also come to me for lessons in music theory, creative writing, mathematics and physics.

Drawing & Sketching From basics to advanced, Watercolor Painting: Techniques from washes and gradients to textures and layeringHi, I’m Raji — an artist at heart and a passionate artist who believes that true expression begins with our own two hands. I am an architect and studying my master's in landscape architecture at Politecnico di Milano, Italy.
From the time I could hold a pencil, art has been my language — a way to observe the world, to feel, and to create. I’ve always felt that painting on paper, with brushes and watercolors, holds a kind of magic that screens simply can’t replicate. It’s raw, mindful, and deeply human.
I specialize in watercolor techniques, sketching, composition, and creative exploration — helping students of all ages unlock their imagination and connect with their inner artist.

Icon painting with egg tempera, individual classes, historical techniqueEgg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 9 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the nimbs. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic languageI 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.)
Have questions? Don't hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

Unlock Your Artistic Potential: Learn Instinctive Drawing, Build Confidence create work for a successful portfolio.My teaching philosophy centers around helping students discover their instinctive creative voices through experimental drawing techniques. I believe in the power of intuitive creation, where students are encouraged to move beyond traditional methods, tap into their creativity, and embrace innovative approaches to drawing. This process empowers them to build a strong personal style while gaining the technical skills necessary to express their ideas confidently.
As an educator, I am committed to helping every student unlock their potential, guiding them in finding their unique artistic identity and confidently navigating their creative journeys. Whether you're looking to build a portfolio, develop new drawing skills, or simply explore new creative approaches, I offer a personalized, hands-on approach that meets each student where they are, helping them grow and evolve as an artist.
I specialize in teaching non-traditional drawing skills that empower students to create distinctive, original art—perfect for building a standout portfolio. My approach goes beyond conventional techniques, encouraging students to explore their creativity freely and experiment with various mediums and styles. This method allows students to break away from traditional artistic constraints, discovering their instinctive artistic voice.
By embracing experimental techniques, students can produce artwork that is innovative, personal, and dynamic, making their portfolios not just technically proficient but also rich in creativity and individuality. Whether you’re aiming to enter top art schools like Central Saint Martins or looking to stand out in the professional art world, my lessons provide the tools to create exceptional artwork that will leave a lasting impression.
