I was always fascinated by the different world cultures and people who lived them, so people became my subject of art at a young age.
I paint people in everyday settings in oil on canvas. I do some landscape and seascapes, but painting people is my true desire.
Why I need to win…
Dreams and fantasies have always been an inseparable part of my existence, ever since my childhood. As an introvert child, I remember constantly flying away to my world of make-believe, much to the annoyance of my elders.
Even as I grew older, the dreamy child within me refused to grow up. She still wanted to fly…
I’m a self-taught painter, started painting 2 years ago, and I really need to get to a higher level whether by studying academically or continuing with the self-teaching process. So I do think that the course will really help me do this.
My earliest memories of drawing and painting were formed before I was seven. Throughout my school years, drawing was integral to my experience; my father purchased my first easel when I was about 12, and in both Junior High and High School, I received honorable mention for various compositions.
Moreover I continue to pursue studio and drawing courses in college and at the Cleveland Museum of Art: graphite, pen and ink, pastel (dry and oil), water color and oil painting (with which I fell love) are the mediums with which I have continued to experiment.

I’ve been drawing on and off for so many year’s I can’t recall but have never learned how to “learn drawing”. That is until I taught myself the guitar and finally understood what it truly takes to learn and perfect an artistic skill…
Hello,
I am a boy of 57 years, Italian, from Gaeta (central Italy).
As a child I was self-taught and cultivated my passion for art, in all its forms. Painting (oil and acrylic on canvas), drawing (pen, pencil, charcoal), pastel … especially love the caricature.
I love drawing and painting; it is my life
In me there was always the desire to draw. I attended art school in childhood, but I was bored to draw still lifes with plastic apples and crushed colored fabrics, especially when nobody really explained what it was for. Under the circumstances my parents had to move to another city, and I did not continue art school. Now I am quite happy about this fact, because I may have avoided the wrong way of learning the basics…
