Reviews
Koi Samsa defines herself as a plastic artist and multidisciplinary designer with a non-linear career path. This experience has led her to discover new talent, manage content, organize projects, and boost her creative activity.
She began as a professor teaching project methodology and design at the Valencia School of Art and Technology. She later learned how to combine her work as a designer, strategist, and digital content consultant with personal projects, such as demos for Amazon events or book covers for Penguin Random House and Grupo Planeta. She currently devotes her time to creating and selling her own artwork.

Super bien el curso, sobre todo a la hora de elegir toda la temática y ser consecuente con ello. Demasiada creatividad a la hora de hacer texturas y formas con los diferentes materiales.

Mir gefällt die freie Ausdruckskraft und Kreativität! Es ist so viel möglich, auch die Sprache in die Kunst mit einzubeziehen - das hat mir der Kurs deutlich gemacht. Collagen sind eigentlich nicht so mein Ding, aber die experimentierende Schaffensfreude hat mich angesteckt...
Die deutschen Untertitel waren oft nicht ganz verständlich für mich - aber die gesprochene englische Übersetzung ist gut.

PlusExcellent! I am not really interested in collage, but this course made me look at it with a different perspective. I really enjoyed the concepts and associations made between poetry and art. Fascinating. The instructor is easy to follow, clear in her explanations. A must watch if you are interested in collage, artistic concepts and research.
