A richly instructive course: an academic curriculum that adapts to our own wishes; art history passed on without counting to explain and accompany the techniques taught; and Gilbert, a very pleasant teacher with whom I have the pleasure of learning, and succeeding, 😉 at drawing and painting.
A very personalized course where you feel at ease and in constant progress! Non-judgmental atmosphere and very good, targeted advice. As a beginner, I recommend this course without hesitation.
Very good painting/drawing school. I had the honor of doing my internship there! A great experience. Gilbert is great!
Gilbert is an amazing teacher with impeccable knowledge about art. His joy for art makes the learning experience relaxing and fun. I look forward to each class. Over a few months time, I've learned a great deal about composition and flow. He has changed my way of thinking about a piece of art and encouraged me to just draw and let the creativity flow. Thank you 😊
Gilbert is a wonderful teacher! He is patient, speaks English and French and taught me so much in a short amount of time. The environment is very relaxed and there is always wonderful music playing in the background. The tea during the break is a nice bonus 🙂 I highly recommend this school to anybody, beginners or advanced artists. You will love it!
Very good experience to be repeated. Dynamic course and very educational teacher. It was a pleasure
The classes are really interesting and Taylor made for every student. I love these moments for the peacefulness and the knowledge we acquire in a very nice environment. Very positive vibres
Pushing open the door of the ArtQuarium workshop is a pleasure that never fails. The warm ambience, the relaxed atmosphere, the tea and cookie time and the chit-chat at the end of the session - it's a moment of happiness. Gibert's teaching is invaluable, both in terms of the pertinence of his advice and his encouragement, which inspires desire and enables everyone, whatever their experience or level, to benefit greatly. I just love it.
The courses are very varied and exciting, and I've been taking them for several years. I've found generous teachers who share all their knowledge with us, encouraging us, correcting us and always pushing us forward. Theory, practice, flexible timetables, a good atmosphere ... what else? Donatella
Unrivalled in Geneva and even in Switzerland, the workshop where you'll learn all the formal techniques needed to conceive, realize and understand a painting, whether classical (renaissance, baroque, ...) or modern. And much more besides, because it's also a completely original approach geared to each student on a personalized, individual basis. You'll come away convinced and confident - and with your doubts swept away!
A very well thought-out drawing and painting course that allows us to develop different techniques while leaving us free to choose our subjects. Gilbert and Arthur know how to make us appreciate serious painting with their 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.
I learned many techniques that helped me improve my drawing skills, and all this in a pleasant place with a warm atmosphere. Thank you Gilbert for all the knowledge you've passed on to me with such 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!
A real discovery: using pencils to awaken the eye and curiosity. Thank you Gilbert for your encouragement and the passion you know so well how to give us.
After more than 6 years of lessons at Artquarium, a warm and caring place, I can confirm that Gilbert Wolfisberg's teaching goes far beyond a simple painting or drawing class. He teaches us to look at works of art and their construction(s) with new eyes. The notion of composition takes on its full meaning. The ultimate joy comes when we realize that we are apprehending the world with this fresh eye, that composing takes shape in all the acts of our lives: decorating, dressing, cooking. At Artquarium, I learned one fundamental thing: the search for harmony is possible everywhere. I warmly recommend it.
A great place to share and exchange ideas, where Gilbert's teaching of painting is very innovative for me.
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!
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.
Great experience: in-depth learning of different compositional structures 🎨 Great atmosphere in the workshop. A must-see and experience. Thank you 🙏 to Gilbert Wolfisberg.
Understanding the how, from Antiquity to abstraction, via the Renaissance
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
Super course, to go further, learn composition, challenge your way of painting A priori for all levels, as everyone can deepen their creative skills with these courses ... and even if you have some experience, you'll find what you're looking for in this course.
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

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!
