My name is JANGEYA OPE WALTER and the Artworld I am SKYLINE BONAPARTE. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Economic Science. I discovered this gift around 12 but due to improper guidance and concentration, It took me time to settle for it, thus a self-taught artist.
My life’s aspiration is to paint and draw like an Old Master, such as Rembrandt, Carravaggio, Durer, Ingres or other latter masters like Antoine Watteau and William Bourguereau.
I have been serving my community for many decades and have finally found time for self care.

Michelangelo painted the glorious Sistine Chapel ceiling between 1508 and 1512. It took four years to be complete, and of those four years, in 1509, the beautiful ‘Delphic Sibyl’ was painted using the ‘al fresco’ technique along with the other Prophets and Sibyls of the ceiling.

Silverpoint was a unique technique used as early as the 12th century for writing and markings, it became immensely popular from the 14th to the 16th century, for the creation of art. It was favoured among old masters of the Renaissance period, before the incorporation of graphite. Silverpoint is only one of the metals used falling under the larger category of metal-point, where gold, platinum, lead, copper, and iron were also used. Silver was the most used metal and why the technique ‘metal-point’ became more known as silverpoint.
