I’m Kseniia Perfileva — an artist and sculptor based in Florence.
With over ten years of experience in both traditional sculpture and digital modeling, I combine classical techniques with a contemporary sensibility.
My teaching approach is calm and intuitive, focused on helping each student discover their own sense of form and expression.
GROUP ART CLASSES
The schedule is available on the website.
GROUP CLASSES ON REQUEST
Available for groups of 2 or more people.
PRIVATE LESSONS IN FLORENCE
We will develop a program that suits your needs.
INDIVIDUAL ONLINE TRAINING
No matter where you are, I will help you improve your knowledge and skills in art with online classes.
The course lasts 60 minutes and consists of 6 lessons.
Students have unlimited access to the lessons.
You’ll move through the course at your own pace, wherever you are in the world, making the learning process relaxed and enjoyable. Each lesson is explained in a clear, straightforward way, so even if you’ve never drawn before, you’ll feel confident from the very beginning. Along the way, you’ll discover practical techniques for creating volume with a single line and bringing your sketches to life. Through guided practice, you’ll develop skills that will noticeably improve the quality of your drawings, and you’ll learn how to confidently refine and finish your sketches instead of leaving them unfinished.
