Discription
As a teacher, I am committed to sharing thoughts, questions, tips, and accumulated experiences that inspire and encourage others, hoping to foster a collective artistic and intellectual curiosity. Through my years of teaching, I have learned to seek a balance between goals related to technical mastery and the individual's ability to make their own decisions, reflect deeply, rediscover, develop personalities, and encounter imaginary universes. Teaching requires a dynamic interaction between what is happening in the teacher's mind and what is happening with the group in the space. The act of teaching and my professional artistic practice have long been intertwined: they are in constant relationship and evolve together.
