Story and artwork from Beatriz Alves Lourenço

My name is Beatriz Alves, I am a Brazilian artist.

I love drawing since childhood, but I started taking it seriously recently, which changed my life.

Art is what brings excitement to my existence. Waking up knowing that I can create something that other people can relate to is what makes me want to continue living and what helped me to overcome really difficult moments.

Haii I’m shay. I absolutely adore art.

Story and drawing from Geert De Vuyst

Hi, my name is Geert De Vuyst.

I am a male in his early fifties and live in Belgium between Antwerp and Ghent. There’s even an art gallery nearby with the same surname: ‘De Vuyst’ (de-vuyst.com/en)

This has some advantages, especially the fact that I have access to a lot of museums where some of the finest flemish old masters art is being kept. One of my preferred places in Antwerp is the Rubens house where Peter Paul Rubens used to live. (rubenshuis.be/en)

Story and artwork from Aseelzeid

Hello,

I am a psychologist, and I draw since my childhood. Drawing has always helped me when I feel the need for a companion so I open my notebook and draw and feel comfortable.

My biggest challenge in art is the lack of good learning resources through which I can develop.

Story and artwork from Yampier Sardina

Since I was a child I liked drawing, it is a deep feeling, which became a necessity. I studied in an art academy 4 years, there I met a great artist, who dedicated his life to the knowledge of the classic techniques of drawing and painting. I spent several years with him as an assistant and disciple. Today I dedicate my life to art. Drawing is a passion.

Artwork by Edward van den Berg

My aim with my works, is to capture emotion on canvas, to make a person stop for a moment and pause, turn them to stone and think, and have an effect of “turned to stone” for a while.
