Des cours très variés et passionnants, que je suis depuis quelques années. J'ai trouvé des enseignants généreux qui partagent avec nous tous leurs savoirs, nous encouragent, nous corrigent, nous font toujours avancer. Théorie, pratique, flexibilité dans les horaires, une bonne ambiance ... what else ? Donatella
Sans égal à Genève et même en Suisse, l’atelier où vous apprendrez toutes les techniques formelles pour concevoir, réaliser et comprendre une peinture qu’elle soit classique (renaissance, baroque, …) ou moderne. Et bien plus encore, car il s’agit aussi d’une approche tout à fait originale orientée vers chaque élève de manière personnalisée et individuelle. On y ressort convaincu et avec assurance - un coup de balai aux doutes !
Un cours de dessin et de peinture très bien amené et qui nous permet de pouvoir développer différentes techniques tout en nous laissant libre sur les sujets. Gilbert et Arthur savent très bien nous faire apprécier la peinture grave à leur passion.
A tailor-made course! High-quality teaching in a warm and friendly atmosphere! Thank you Master Gilbert for bringing us a fresh perspective and original techniques!
Comprehensive courses for all levels. You don't just learn technique, but also the artistic context and movements of the great painters. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. You can progress at your own pace and according to your own desires.
J'ai appris de nombreuses techniques qui m'ont permis de m'améliorer en dessin et tout ceci dans un lieu agréable et une ambiance chaleureuse. Merci Gilbert pour toutes ces connaissances que tu as su me transmettre avec passion! Brig
Incredible drawing/painting course! I learned much more in a few sessions than an art degree and years of fashion design. I recommend this course 100%!
I attended Artquarium for several months during a professional break in Geneva. I would recommend this school without hesitation, for the warm welcome, passion and flexibility of its teachers!
Very interesting courses, in which we learn a great deal about the basics that are essential for learning to draw and paint later on. We're making good, steady, enriching progress, all in an atmosphere of caring and appreciation. A friendly atmosphere in a quiet, pleasant setting. Let yourself be tempted by this wonderful learning experience! Many thanks to Gilbert Wolfisberg!
Une vraie découverte : passer par le crayon pour éveiller l’œil et la curiosité merci Gilbert de tes encouragements et de ta passion que tu sais si bien nous donner
Après plus de 6 ans de cours à Artquarium, lieu chaleureux et bienveillant, je peux affirmer que l’enseignement de Gilbert Wolfisberg dépasse de loin le simple cours de peinture ou de dessin. Il nous apprend à regarder les œuvres et leur(s) construction(s) avec un œil nouveau. La notion de composition prend alors tout son sens. La joie ultime vient lorsque nous nous apercevons que nous appréhendons le monde avec ce regard neuf, que composer prend corps dans tous les actes de notre vie : décorer, s’habiller, cuisiner. À l'Artquarium, j’ai appris cette chose fondamentale : la recherche de l’harmonie est partout possible. Je recommande chaleureusement.
At Artquarium, I found much more than just an art workshop. It's a timeless haven where Gilbert's benevolence, the alternation between practice and theory, and the spellbinding ambience of the studio to the sound of classical music make each weekly appointment a sacred moment. Gilbert's teachings on the language of classical painting have opened up new perspectives and enriched my way of composing and perceiving works of art. Thank you Gilbert!
A great place to share and exchange ideas, where Gilbert's teaching of painting is very innovative for me.
Great courses, combining the pleasure of drawing with theoretical analysis. The setting is very warm and caring. I recommend 1000 times!
It is a place of training that is both rigorous and essential in order to progress in creation. Learning takes place step by step, not only in the understanding of painting but also in the concrete application of what has been learned through exercises. Everyone progresses at their own pace, always encouraged by Gilbert's competence and kindness.
Great lessons, both theory and practice ! I started classes with Gilbert years ago, and every time I learn about great masters and new skills. Very pleasant ambiance with other students, of all ages and nationalities.
Great classes! The artistic notions and concepts taught by Gilbert are fascinating. I highly recommend it to all artists but also to those who want to learn how to read a work of art.
It's a nice atelier with gentle music and white noise from a little water fountain. The teacher- Gilbert, is kind to switch to English for me. I've learnt drawing techniques and ways to analyse paintings.
I particularly like the alternation between practice (drawing) and theory, including the harmony of shapes, composition, and contrasts. Real reading keys to better appreciate great works of art but also learn the basics of drawing and painting. An initiatory and very enriching journey.
Une vraie découverte ! Un enseignement hors du commun d'une grande richesse ! Du haut de gamme.
Très belle expérience : apprentissage approfondi des différentes structures de composition 🎨 Super ambiance dans l'atelier. A voir et expérimenter absolument. Merci 🙏 à Gilbert Wolfisberg.
Understanding the how, from Antiquity to abstraction, via the Renaissance
Super cours, pour aller plus loin, apprendre la composition, challenger sa façon de peindre A priori pour tout niveau car chacun peut approfondir sa façon de créer avec ces cours … et même si vous avez de l’expérience vous trouverez votre bonheur dans cette formation
Remarkable, fundamental, very inspiring: all the principles of painting revealed
Super interesting course in a friendly atmosphere. A must-do for drawing and painting enthusiasts
Do an internship!!! Take the training!!! Training that transforms the way you think about your painting!!
Excellent course. Rich in information and learning. Everything is very well explained and well observed by the teacher for each student present with a good atmosphere of sharing. THANKS
Great course, in music with amazing techniques, I learn every time and am very happy in an artistic atmosphere, I am looking forward to my next course!!!
Excellent art class. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the concepts and techniques that will allow them to express their creativity.
Excellent workshop, teaching which provides very important aesthetic keys. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to develop their knowledge and practice. Very good atmosphere.
Very good course, good atmosphere and the teacher and great learned well
It's been two years since I discovered the Artquarium and I go there almost every day! It's a completely different perspective on drawing and painting that has been offered to me since I met Gilbert and Arthur, we can understand how to observe paintings by understanding certain intentions of the artists. After having attended several Art schools, I am especially happy to receive all this information from real enthusiasts!
It is a wonderful place where you can express yourself and learn new concepts and techniques. I highly recommend it!
Excellent quality of lessons, support in this artistic path which addresses new concepts. This allows freedom of creativity thanks to the principles of composition and harmonization of forms. The atmosphere is warm and very pleasant..
In the workshop, I discovered the unexpected secrets of real painting, in a caring and constructive atmosphere.
Super cours de dessin, on ne se contente pas de dessiner ou de peindre mais on apprend aussi des concepts plus théoriques qui permettent d'améliorer ses connaissances et sa façon d'approcher la peinture. Le cours est très complet. Chacun avance à son rythme. Gilbert est très pédagogue et souhaite vraiment nous transmettre toute sa passion. Vous ne regarderez plus les tableaux dans les musées de la même façon. Je ne peux que recommander cette école si vous souhaitez approfondir votre compréhension du dessin sous toutes ses formes et dessiner/ peindre bien sûr 🙂
Gilbert's knowledge is astonishing: I love his way of analyzing paintings (by great masters or lesser-known painters), each time, we learn lots of things! In fact, it is thanks to his love of painting, his passion for transmitting the multiple dimensions of a work, in short, it is thanks to him that I understood why we say that painting is a major art. It's fabulous to meet people like him, because they raise our level of culture. Thank you very much Gilbert!
I'm on my 5th course and I really like the approach to this course because we're not limited to just copying models. The teacher also teaches us to observe the paintings of the great masters and to dissect their compositional techniques and other elements which allow us to transform a simply decorative work into a work of art.
