Story and artwork from Sarayu

My Name is Sarayu Santhosh, an 18 year old self taught artist from India who aspires to be a psychologist who heals people with art. Art takes the first and foremost place in my life, I cannot imagine a day where I don’t do draw or express myself.

Story and Drawing by Maxwell Anyimadu

A young boy in his late teens who is called Maxwell, nick named Dan and prefers to be called Maxwell Dan. Dan from the English word done, is an inspiration of determination in everything I focus on, should be done.

My discovery in my in depth love for art came about during much inconsistencies in life, life giving me lemons as at that time. I focused on the wind blowing against me and I was in much pain, to be frank.

I am a 51 year old that likes art.

Born in Sri Lanka I never had the opportunity to learn Art in school except during our normal Artclass. I lived to draw and paint as a child and won a few art competitions outside. My teachers in school encouraged my father to send me to private art classes but this never happened and I never did Art after grade 8 but chose a different subject. Growing up I admired and followed Van Goh and Monet’s art and desired to paint like that. I started to paint 2 years ago after moving to Canada.

Hello my name is Marco Cardona, I am 34 years old, I live in Guatemala, since I was a child I liked to draw, I started drawing the cartoons I saw and as an adult I began the interest in fine arts or traditional or academic drawing.

Art in general for me has become very important in my life and helps me to capture on a canvas or paper, what I see or what I imagine and put a part of me in every artwork I do.
