In me there was always the desire to draw. I attended art school in childhood, but I was bored to draw still lifes with plastic apples and crushed colored fabrics, especially when nobody really explained what it was for. Under the circumstances my parents had to move to another city, and I did not continue art school. Now I am quite happy about this fact, because I may have avoided the wrong way of learning the basics…
My name is Mahlet Birhanu Gebre, I was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Growing up, I was blessed with a caring family. My late father, Birhanu Gebre, was a professional painter and he has especially encouraged me to explore art after observing my talent in drawing at an early age.

I have been drawing on and off for years. I like to paint but the Drawing Academy is correct. You must draw before you can paint well. The masters had the right idea. While I like modern art, you have to master drawing to be considered a true artist. My hope is to achieve some level of proficiency so I can draw from life and memory…

As the story goes, one sunny morning in Florence, Italy, Filippo Brunelleschi appeared at the gate of the not-yet-completed cathedral, holding a little painting and a little mirror. Already considered a magician by half of Florence because of the dome he was building without any scaffolding, Master Filippo gathered a sizable crowd for his demonstration…
I am a no one. A nobody. In the late 80s my life was dealt some hard turns. As a result to that I dropped out of school. I was an artist and although I began to sell work even fresh out of school. I had to abandon my art to feed myself working odd jobs with hard manual labor.
After decades of neglect to my hands, my ability to draw was beginning to run away from me. My hands were meant for art. Not for hammers and chisels. So after a short while my hands would force me into truck driving…
I am a composer, lecturer and aspiring art teacher currently living in Vienna.
More than anything, I love the study of the human body.
I’ve recently discovered pastels and have made a drawing of my sleeping daughter. She is eight years old and it is usually next to impossible to make her sit still to capture the beauty of innocence, which is part of the essence of childhood. So I took the opportunity to depict Madeleine during a majestic sleep…
I draw this little girl 2 years ago , a few months after I teach myself to draw. It was exactly in the night between the years. It was a great time to me. That’s why I am very grateful to be your student here and to learn a lot of things I never learn before…
