Creative Arts and Conservation-Restoration of Cultural Heritage
My philosophy
In 15 years of working with children, I have learned that true transmission is not about filling a vessel but about lighting a flame.
Through the Arts, literature and the rigor of language, I teach my students to look beyond appearances and to build their own reasoning.
To transmit knowledge is to awaken the courage to think for oneself.
"Let's not raise our children for today's world; that world will no longer exist when they grow up."
Maria Montessori
"To live is not merely to breathe, but to act; it is to make use of our organs, our senses, our faculties."
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
What if the greatest luxury of tomorrow was to be a complete, sovereign, and unclassifiable human being?
Look at the adult world:
the majority are bored, stuck in a dull routine, or collapsing into burn-out. They were sold the illusion that submission and money guaranteed happiness. In the era of Artificial Intelligence, where many institutions teach conformity, rote learning, and outdated scientific approximations, memory and technical execution are no longer enough. Degrees no longer guarantee anything. Machines will replace docile executors, and mainstream opinion will continue to produce unhappy adults.
For your child to escape this spiritual misery and financial dependency, they need tools that institutions will never give them. Happiness cannot be dictated. It is built through independence, versatility, and a sharp critical mind.
In my workshops, I do not provide mediocre daycare:
-
I forge critical thinking: So that your child learns to analyze for themselves what makes them happy, far from stereotypes, outdated prejudices, and paths traced by others.
-
I cultivate versatility: The alliance of the hand, the heart, and the mind (sciences, letters, arts, craftsmanship). A complete child knows how to connect fields of knowledge and, above all, knows how to bounce back in the face of crises or malicious people.
-
I teach independence: So that they are capable, later on, of adjusting their activities to their situation, their tastes, and the realities of the moment.
In my workshop, I restore artworks from the past to pass them on to future generations, I manipulate physical matter, and I question philosophy and the rigor of language through the latest scientific and archaeological research.
I do not teach your children to annihilate themselves to become mere consumers of consolation entertainment or screens. I refuse to raise them in the cult of passive comfort and grey banality. I give them the keys to become creative, original, and courageous, rather than docile and interchangeable. I teach them the love for a job well done and the intense joy of being alive.
