Portrait of my father in sanguine

Artwork by Luiz Paulo Barboza

I’m trying to learn how to draw on my own – I read everything I can on the internet and in books.

Artists are not valued in my country like in the US and Europe.

There is always a conflict between art, which I love, but I have to work for living – an eternal “food vs. dream”.
