How did it all begin?
July 2020, pandemic.
I had already been working as a designer for a few years and, on the side, I did illustrations and artistic commissions for some clients and friends. Then, during the Covid-19 pandemic, a friend's sister contacted me saying she was very inspired by my drawings and asked if I could give her online art lessons. I immediately agreed and was so excited that I created a list of potential students and contacted each one. From 1 student I went to 6, then to 15, and then 20 in a matter of days. In April 2022, I also joined the teaching staff of the Desenhe art school here in Curitiba, located in the Mercês neighborhood.
Teaching art independently during the pandemic, such a sad and delicate time, saved me in many ways. I love doing it so much that it's a job I continue to develop to this day, 5 years later. It is certainly my greatest purpose, and I was able to meet wonderful people in this process.
What do I teach?
BASIC ARTISTIC DRAWING
Do you only know how to draw "stick figures" but have always wanted to be a great artist? It's possible, and in basic artistic drawing I'll help you in this process with lightness and support, starting from complete zero regardless of your age.
INTERMEDIATE ARTISTIC DRAWING
For those who have already mastered the basics of drawing, have created incredible sketches, and wish to reach advanced levels in illustration, the intermediate level will help you get there with exercises focused on your tastes and preferences.
ADVANCED ARTISTIC DRAWING
If you already know and have mastered the main principles of illustration, are familiar with your own style, and want to practice with advanced and challenging exercises, advanced drawing will be great for further refining your skills.

This program focuses on the artistic development of children from 5 years of age, with creative, playful and dynamic exercises centered on the creativity, tastes and motor skills of these mini-artists!
