The Artistic Journey

Fortu's journey to becoming a Pilates Instructor is a story of artistry and evolution, and from a young age he was captivated by the world of drawing, constantly seeking to capture reality in his artwork, his creations were often surreal, transcending the boundaries of mere representation to infuse life with vibrant colours and fresh perspectives, and it was this passion for art that persisted throughout his high school years, an enduring muse for his creative spirit.

However, the two-dimensional world of drawing eventually could not contain his aspirations, the need for a more dynamic and expressive medium led him to the world of dance. In dance, he found the ideal canvas to bring his drawings to life, he became both the artist and the art, sculpting his movements with the precision of a draftsman and the fluidity of a sculptor. Each dance performance was a temporary drawing, a vivid and evolving masterpiece that required constant recreation and renewal. The challenge and excitement of this artistic fusion with movement compelled him to continue dancing, combining his profound love for art with the thrill of performance.

The feedback from clients who have been part of this journey over the past seven years speaks volumes – marked improvements in confidence, posture, flexibility, strength, and, perhaps most importantly, a deep-seated love for Pilates, nurtured by a deep understanding of its science which Fortunato delivers in all his classes.
