“Mariano Akerman is a wonderful and exciting lecturer in the field of Art History. His understanding of the subject is broad indeed and includes the relationship of art with historical events and social trends, and also the relationship between art and architecture. He can connect art movements and put them in a historical context, in a profound and broad way. His lectures are stimulating and often contain elements 'outside the box'. He has his audience always on their toes. As an artist himself he is fully able to explain the processes and methods of each artist, as well as the relationship between them."

Full of creativity, accurate in his aims, assertive and clever in the use of time and knowledge, Mariano is a hard worker and an insightful researcher. He is a responsible and dedicated person, clearly committed to his goals. A resourceful artist and a highly creative teacher, his approach to the topics he deals with is original and profound. Working with him is not just a pleasure but also a great opportunity to enhance multiple areas of knowledge."

“Mariano Akerman est un historien d'art qui sait communiquer et partager sa passion. À l'occasion d'une conférence sur l'art belge donnée au National College of Arts de Lahore, il a montré combien il maîtrise son sujet sur le bout des doigts, sachant tresser habilement les mises en évidence de l'oscillation et de l'imbrication des concepts de mimesis et de fantaisie, selon les perspectives historiques et spatiales qui caractérisent la peinture belge. Mariano Akerman est un conférencier très agréable à suivre : il sait interférer avec son public et sait distiller à bon escient de succulentes touches d'humour. En deux mots, ... un régal !"

“Learning initial level Spanish from Señor Akerman was one of the most intellectually stimulating experiences of my life. Expertly meshing his didactic methods with his world-renowned artistic genius, he employed innovative techniques in imparting instruction to a class of absolute novices. After providing introduction to the basic structure of the Spanish language, he used song and verse to clarify the linkages between words and grammar in the minds of his students. This method rendered the two month long course at the Alliance Française d'Islamabad not just an excellent learning activity, but also a rich insight into Spanish culture and heritage. Also, his excellent command over the English language gave him the uncanny ability to use this language to great effect in the instruction of Spanish to a Pakistani audience already accustomed to English as a second language. I owe it entirely to Señor Akerman's creative technique, the passion and heartfelt zeal with which he conducted the training sessions, his encouraging and inclusive personal demeanor, and his genuine love for Spanish, his mother tongue, that enabled me to adapt nicely to the contours of an entirely new language. If the opportunity arises, it would be an honor for me to further my linguistic capacity in Spanish with Señor Mariano Akerman."

“Mariano Akerman a accepté d'enseigner le français langue étrangère à l'Alliance française d'Islamabad d'octobre à décembre 2010. Sérieux, ponctuel et doté d'un très bon sens de la communication, il a su passionner ses élèves par les contenus et la méthode de ses cours. En outre, il ne manque jamais d'idées d'activités à proposer; il est également excellent conférencier, qui, non content de disposer d'un immense savoir, développe aussi des qualités pédagogiques à même d'intéresser tout public. En bref, c'est un plaisir de travailler avec Mariano Akerman."

“Mariano Akerman is an outstanding professor at Alliance Française Islamabad, where he has recently given the advanced level course on French language and culture. He is a dedicated person and provides his students with high quality educational material. Versatile, he is also artist and historian. This adds to the richness of his classes. They include watching and discussing images, literary texts, movies, video clips, recordings of the news and other media, being all this material in the French language. There is always something new and interesting in his classes. Advancing my French with him has been a pleasure and a great experience."

“Mariano Akerman posee excelentes virtudes intelectuales y una ponderable sensibilidad estética. Esta última cualidad queda evidenciada en la interesante actividad plástica que desarrolló paralelamente a sus estudios de arquitectura, y que hoy continúa a ritmo sostenido. Su sentido autocrítico lo lleva a un esfuerzo constante de superación en todas sus actividades."

OSCAR MAISONAVE

“Sé que efectua trabajos en los que se entremezclan sus conocimientos con una profunda introspección y un deseo casi obsesivo de trascender lo formal en pos de profundos significados."

“En un mundo de exploración constante, la inquietud de su espíritu produce verdaderos símbolos de vida."

BERNARDO GRAVIER

Crítico de arte

“I have known Mariano Akerman since his graduate studies at the History of Art Department of which I have been Chair. He has been a gifted student and is now a young scholar, bright, serious, and broad-minded. His CV proves amply his qualities in research--his publications, deep and well founded--and in teaching to various public--in which he is knowledgeable and charismatic. Dedicated to his public, whether young students or seniors, he is highly appreciated everywhere.
