The Innocent Gaze of Nam
Artwork by Kos Cos
Kos was born in Sri Lanka into an artistic family and began drawing and painting at an early age. After school, his playground was his father’s agency workshop, where he studied and practised brush skills in the golden age of hand-drawn advertising. In 1999, he moved to Hong Kong, where he has worked in a creative capacity in the film, advertising, and digital advertising industries.
Kos paints in loud and dominant styles, cheap brushes used to apply dripping oils in crude fast brush strokes, experimental combinations of acrylics and charcoal, tropical colour pallets carried to the extreme. From the inspiration he draws on to his choice of subject matter and the materials he uses, Kos’ work is a celebration of diversity in every sense…

Awakening
Artwork by Alp Moğulkoç
Hi guys, I’m Alp, student from Türkiye, 21 years old.
As a child, I drew soldiers, castles, knights, catapults and make them fight on the paper :D
Drawing never left me, I made designs, small sketches in the school when bored. And last years I started to take it seriously. I searched a lot of tutorials on the internet but those were like How to draw eyes, buildings, trees … etc.
I wanted to learn fundamental techniques of drawing. I understand that without a good foundation, its is impossible to draw skillfully…

Pensamientos
Artwork by María Beatriz Laffaille
Perhaps it’s not so interesting but I’ll tell you.
I’m 67 years old and when I was a child of 10, my parents discovered I like drawing and sent me to a teacher to learn how to draw and paint.
Then when I entered the secondary school, my activities were many or more than many, and I was obliged to stop learning.
Life went on, after the secondary school, I attended the University. Then I worked at different schools. I got married, had my own family, and never again had the time to go on with my drawing and painting classes.
Now I’m retired from my teaching activities, and motivated by my family I re-started with my drawings…
Tupac Shakur
Artwork by Conkord Rapanan
I’ve been drawing most of my life and I’m self taught, but I stopped about 10 years ago. I’ve made drawings with charcoal, graphite and also pastel.
I have always had the interest in going to an art school but I have never been to one. About a few months ago, I have decided that I wanted to draw again. At first, I was having a hard time not really knowing where to start again. One day I have found a clear picture of Tupac from a magazine and thought I’d give it a try with graphite. Although the drawing turned out be just okay, I wasn’t satisfied with the result. I’m starting to love drawing all over again and I know my skills are lacking and I’m very interested in learning new techniques and expanding my knowledge to improve my skills….
