ARTIST / EDUCATOR

Teaching.

Learning to see is part of learning to create.

A practice of observation, construction and expression. Drawing becomes both an instrument of knowledge and a language of personal discovery.

EDUCATION & PUBLISHING

Teaching and editorial projects

Two experiences connecting artistic practice, education and research on drawing.

LEARNING THROUGH PRACTICE

Workshops
& Courses.

Drawing and painting workshops built around close observation, the figure, materials and pictorial language. Technical understanding and expressive freedom develop together.

01
Drawing & observationGesture, line, proportion and visual analysis.
02
The human figureForm, anatomy, structure and expressive movement.
03
Painting & techniqueMaterial, colour, layering and experimentation.

Workshops, demonstrations and drawing programmes are developed for different learning contexts and participants.

02 / METHODEDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
AN APPROACH TO DRAWING

To observe.
To understand.
To express.

Drawing can connect the intuitive movement of the hand with the clarity of geometric construction. Observation is not separate from expression: it is one of its foundations.

The method moves between freehand exploration, proportion, simplification of complex forms and the gradual development of light and tone.

EDITORIAL COLLABORATION

Publishing
& Treccani.

Alongside the studio practice, teaching extends into educational publishing. The collaboration with Treccani explores how hands-on drawing can enter into dialogue with the history of art.

Practical exercises, drawing demonstrations and a method that joins observation with geometric construction offer students accessible ways to study and interpret forms.

The teaching practice also includes a Prontuario del disegno a mano libera (freehand drawing handbook), exploring tools, geometric construction, hatching, light and surface finishing.
