In addition to my expertise in art history, I am also a passionate floral designer @vesperaflorals with a deep admiration for Still Life Flemish Art. I practice mindful meditation, which, along with my love for beauty and nature, informs my approach to creating engaging and transformative tours. I cater to various age groups, including adults with kids, corporate teams, friends, and families.

My mission is to guide you in interacting with art, inspiring and intriguing you by decoding the language of symbolism.

We will examine masterpieces by celebrated artists of all times, including Raphael, Botticelli, Titian, Zurbarán, El Greco, Rubens, Rembrandt, Renoir, Van Gogh, Manet, Degas, Picasso, Kandinsky , and many more.

I have also designed educational programs and workshops that combine art and mindfulness, providing participants with a holistic understanding and appreciation of art. My tours are known for their interactive and personalized approach, making art accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Whether it's a deep dive into a specific period of art history or a casual stroll through a botanical garden, my goal is to foster a deeper connection between the viewer and the artwork.
