Luka Hays

Luka Hays is a London-based artist, art teacher, and professional graphic designer who brings a thoughtful and encouraging approach to teaching. With a background that bridges fine art and design, Luka helps students rediscover their artistic confidence and develop practical skills that enhance both personal and professional creative pursuits.

His teaching philosophy centres on experimentation, curiosity, and the imaginative potential of visual storytelling. Luka is particularly passionate about encouraging students to tap into their inner worlds — exploring elements of fantasy, surrealism, and dreamlike imagery as a means of expanding creative expression. He believes that art should not only reflect what we see, but also what we imagine and feel beneath the surface.

By fostering an environment that values play, exploration, and openness, Luka guides learners to build technical skill while cultivating a more intuitive and expressive artistic voice. His classes invite adults to reconnect with the sense of wonder and possibility that lies at the heart of all meaningful art-making.
