I came to the Artquarium studio with a good knowledge of painting and having taken several other courses and workshops. Nevertheless, I felt a need to better understand the concepts of composition, as my works showed a clear lack in this area. My wish was to explore other artistic expressions and then integrate them into my own work.

Thanks to the approach and pedagogy developed by Artquarium, I've been able to reshape the structures and framework of my paintings. The effort has paid off: I paint better now and, what's more, I've learned the language of painting, the union between rationality and emotion, the role of colors and their respective proportions. I realize that this knowledge is very useful for navigating the art world. So a big thank you to Artquarium and Gilbert Wolfisberg for adding to my knowledge as an amateur painter.
