About Dipa
The Birth of
The Visionary ART Workshop
“Never having had any good guidance myself in the art techniques of drawing, painting & creating, I learnt how to master skills, fumbling through the long & hard way. There is no need for you to go through that ! My gift is having the ability to transfer what I know & guide you, the easy way. You can acquire professional level of art skills through (really) interesting, meaningful, relaxing & enjoyable art classes. .
By widening your perspectives about life through art, for you to grow in all ways, to be the best that you can be on this earth. To see & appreciate the beauty of this life, which in fact is really just one big piece of artwork, a magical creation.” Dipa Ein Siak
Art & Design Work Experience
Dipa is an artist & was a part-time art lecturer for 8 years at LaSalle-SIA College of the Arts Singapore. She has since been embarking on & recreating a unique journey of art re-education here in Singapore. The years of experiences working on her own art & her personal journey, together with her love for learning, has led her to develop an enriching & multi-dimensional art curriculum today ~ blending art techniques with physics, quantum & metaphysics. It is something to be experienced to fully appreciate the essence of the art workshops.
Her passion is to empower students by giving them a solid foundation in art & design principles, so that they are able to use all the acquired art skills to go out into the world being a confident creator & at the same time, to live their life of inner joy & freedom.
Besides supporting many art students with their art portfolios to successfully gain entry into the art colleges & universities of their dreams, she also specialises in self awareness art with teens & adults. Working with students who require extra support in life due to low self-confidence, anxiety, autism, ADHD & so on. Guiding clients on how to transform depression & stress to relaxation, inner peace & well-being.
Her wide range of art educational repertoire has seen her very successfully guide art students within a prison setting to engaging creativity using multiple intelligences curriculum with young children, for over 20 years in two kindergartens.
