Hii! I'm Silvana, a Peruvian visual artist based in Utrecht. In my artistic practice, I mostly focus on sculpture and interactive installations that engage the spectator.
As an artist, I enjoy experimenting with different materials depending on the concept I have in mind. My native language is Spanish, I'm also fluent in English and have a good level of Dutch.
​
A bit about me:
I enjoy meeting new people, and when I visit new places, I make it a point to explore contemporary art environments. Whenever possible, I escape to the beach and the sea – they're my go-to happy places in nature.
In my classes, my objective is to guide students toward learning. I encourage them to embrace mistakes, let go of any fear of making them, and enjoy the learning process. I value the opportunity to experiment with and introduce students to new techniques. If a student has a particular curiosity, we explore and learn together. I also appreciate the importance of learning while having fun and being passionate about what you do. When it comes to ceramics, my specialty lies in handbuilding and sculpture. I enjoy combining these techniques with clay throwing on the wheel. Music and laughter are always a part of my classes.
Daniela Schoorl
Hello! I'm Daniela, a Mexican-Dutch self-taught artist in Utrecht. I've always been immersed in creative activities and love exploring different mediums like photography, painting, and ceramics. Each medium ignites a unique creative spark, deepening my passion for my work every day.
A bit about me:
I enjoy Zumba classes in front of my TV and occasionally do line-dance workouts. I dislike cheese but make an exception for melted yellow cheese on pizza. Though reluctantly, I admit I like Taylor Swift. My favorite movie is 10 Things I Hate About You, and my favorite color changes every season. A nice pen or acrylic marker makes me very happy.
​
In my classes, I focus on my students' wishes and goals, encouraging creativity and offering guidance as needed. Whether you're ambitious or need some direction, I'm here to help.
