Keep your dreams in your heart
Story and artwork from Meira
Art is like an escape to me. Even though I am not a master at art I love all kinds of it, I like to paint and draw, I’ve always wanted to learn how to do them well.

I always loved making art since I was a little kid. Art always been my escape route to a different world.
I am pretty much a procrastinator who loves to make art. Art is a big part of my life because it is my life. I faced a lot of difficulty in the start as i don’t have any mentor whi could help me by giving critiques of my artworks, so I pretty much struggled on my own.
I’m Naveen. I’ve been practicing art for last few years.
I’m Poornima, art is my passion. I don’t realise that there is an artist inside me until I start doing it, it makes me feel happy and comfortable whenever I start doing a portrait.
My background is in Fine Art in that I have a BA and MA in Fine Art. I have worked in schools as a secondary school teacher and teach adults art online.
I’m a self-taught artist. I started drawing when I was 11 years, I learned from my mistake and practice I didn’t have any tutorials.
My name is Mugunthan. I began to show my interest in art since I was 4 years old. I used to draw on walls, papers or even books. Till now drawing has become my passion and I literally draw every day and every time.
Hi, I’m Anita. K, I like to draw since I was in elementary school but due to my family and my environment never look art as more than just a hobby, I never think much of it and just draw in class. Never learn it, not even looking at reference, so my progress was bad. Back then, I never heard of fundamentals (shadow, perspective, anatomy). I did not know that to draw good, there are a lot of stuff that needs to learn. I thought that drawing needs talented people. I am finding my way to art and finally do my own research and find out a lot about art. The stuff that I need to learn and I need to work hard for it. I do regret that I don’t start early and I feel that now I need to learn everything in a hurry, like Im out of time.
This piece is called Incurvatus Exterius. It is the antithesis of Saint Augustine’s phase “incurvatus in se” which means “turned or curved inward on oneself”; a life bent toward and for oneself rather than outward toward God and others. It is a life that seeks all things for itself, using people, giftings, money, time, etc. to gratify its own cravings and promotion.
