Artworks and story from Thauan Silva

Hi, my name is Thauan Silva.

Everything started when I bought a tablet to help me with image manipulation. I could make finer and more precise details. Always researching how to improve, I saw a video of someone drawing some candles, he replicated several of them on the sand, worked on the lighting and put it together in an image he was manipulating, it was a girl on the beach, and now, with several candles illuminating the ground.

I believe that was my first step, I wasn’t interested in learning how to draw, but that seemed very useful. I didn’t think much about it, I put it in my head that it would be good to know the basics of drawing so that I could use it to my advantage in image manipulation.

At first I only considered knowing the basics about portrait, I believed that if I knew how to draw a face I would be satisfied. I wasn’t! I tried to go a little further, a little anatomy, that, knowing how to draw a human body already seemed like an accomplishment. But every time I established a “satisfaction point”, soon after I created another one. A portrait was not enough, not even the person, I needed to know how to draw good clothes, now I wanted to put her somewhere, that’s right, a scenario, a context, a story, what is she feeling?

I no longer saw the point in making collages, the desire to create a work with my own hands became what is now my greatest desire: the constant desire to learn how to draw. To draw well!
