Galina Hristova

My professional experience as an artist and tutor spans over 12 years of art education, active artistic and teaching practices.
Founder and tutor at Glena Art Studio, I have over 5 years of experience as a private tutor, providing teaching and support to students of any age and level of skill, guiding them to develop sustainable skillset while dwelling in their unique creative and innovative potential.
My teaching methodology is based on strong academic training, which encompasses systematic learning of the foundational principles in Art, while incorporating them with curiosity and joy in the experimental aspect of creativity. Composition, proportions, line and shape, tone and colour, form and texture, are explored while working with different mediums and techniques.
The process of learning the fundaments of Drawing and Painting is supported by introducing subjects such as Perspective, History of Art, Human anatomy, to name a few.

For me, it is extremely important to meet the individual needs and interests of each student, and tailor the learning process to the specific journey they are about to take to achieve high level of technical skill, create exciting and captivating art works, develop style, and gain confidence.
