Humble, but

Hi, my name is Amy. From an early age I have been drawn to Art. I remember being excited as a young girl going to the Guggenheim Museum in NYC. The images, the colors, the sculptures, and the Jackson Pollock type action paintings especially caught my attention. I took a few courses in all the public schools that I attended. And then a few at college. I have always my own thing since school. My challenges are working full-time in a non creative/art field, and then knowing how to help myself improve. I would love to learn more about Drawing. It is my favorite medium.

My name is Rosario. I never thought that I would enrol on an art competition before. I have always liked drawing and painting, but I have never considered taking lessons with a professor. But, for the last year, I received drawing classes at school. With the guide of my teacher, I have learnt lots of techniques and helpful tools. I reached a much better level and discovered that I could draw things that without an instructor or by my self would seem impossible. He taught me how to correctly use the pencil, the proportions of the head, taking measures and drawing portraits.

Story and artwork from Lynda Freeman

I’m that person you all know, the one that could’ve, would’ve, should’ve and never really did. I’ve been trying to self pearn all my life, I’m now in my 50s and can’t believe I’ve left it so long to further my education with some proper tuition.

I have always loved to draw and paint and get twitchy if I don’t create something regularly. I have produced art for people that they have been happy with but to me it is never good enough. I lack confidence and fear criticism but I know to progress I need to face this flaw in my personality. Being creative isn’t a choice for me it is simply something I need to do, without it everything is grey.

My name is Péter Somlyai.

I learned the profession of a carpenter, meanwhile led by the painter József Rácz in the Fine Arts Circle 6 b. with pencil I developed my drawing skills with charcoal in watercolor and painted with pastel chalk. I worked as a decorator in the canning factory in Nagykőrös.

Story and artwork from Angelique Nagovskaya

Art confronts and informs. Rather than avoiding controversy and conflict, it challenges established beliefs and often shapes our understanding of others. It also possesses a compelling capacity to make people see – and reflect – in deeper and more compelling ways.
