An outsider learning

by Edward Setien

They (the critics) tell me I am an outsider artist because I never went to art school or had have an art or training education.

My passion for painting was like the Big bang theory, it just exploded in my brain one day that a friend gave me some art supplies and I started splashing the canvas with brushes and oils.

I got hooked from the beginning. All the time I wanted to be a writer but it was complicated and time consuming, painting was faster and free my spirit to express my emotions in a way that did not need translation like a book does.

It became an obsession and a quest to paint in a way never done before. I created a Non-forgeable technique in a studio-gallery I had in Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach. My drawing skills are still naïve and child-like, that is way I would need some lessons to improve my artworks and my life.
