Artwork and story from Josemar
Hello everyone,
My name is Josemar (“artistic name” JA ). I am Brazilian and work as a Physics teacher — a field that, at first glance, seems to have little connection with the visual arts.
Despite this, I have always had a deep appreciation for fine arts and literature. For this reason, later in my life, I decided to learn how to draw. Since 2022, drawing has been part of my life as a hobby — an activity that brings me joy, balance, and a sense of light and meaning to my daily routine.
Throughout this journey, I have faced several challenges. The main one has been choosing, among the many existing styles, the approach to which I would like to dedicate myself more deeply. As can be seen in the attached drawings, I explored different possibilities in an effort to better understand my interests and limitations.
This year, I finally realized that the most essential step to improve my artistic skills is to study academic drawing. In this sense, I believe that the Drawing Academy represents a truly valuable opportunity, due to the seriousness of its methodology and the high quality of its instruction, to build a solid and consistent foundation.
I do not believe that my current drawings demonstrate the technical skill or quality that would, by themselves, justify a vote. However, if people see in them sincerity, dedication, and a genuine desire to learn and grow, I would be deeply grateful for this opportunity. Winning this course would mean not only improving my skills, but also giving new meaning to a passion I have cultivated for many years.
Thank you very much for this opportunity, and I wish good luck to all participants.
Sincerely,
Josemar (JA)
