Hi! I’m Joceline. I lived my whole life in Indonesia watching anime, cartoons, or anything animated that I could get my hands on. I have an unbreakable love for garlic bread, and I am here to master my art skills.
I’m more or less a self taught artist. I’m studying Art and a bunch of other creative subjects at sicth form, but I haven’t gone to art school or been tutored so I think I probably fall under the self-taught umbrella, idk.
I am mostly self-taught. I have had some watercolor online classes but sketching is new to me. My lack of experience with sketching has been a stumbling block but still, I persist.
“I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say ‘he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.’”

After working for over 40 years in careers that include manufacturing, purchasing, and technical writing, I recently retired and decided I wanted to paint portraits. But portrait painting is proving to be a challenge as I lack any formal art training or schooling and did not have the benefit of a nearby artist community for training or support.

Art is my escape. It takes me to a place where I am free, where my soul speaks and my imagination comes to life.
Dear all,
Thank you for considering me for the award. I have been painting lately. I never thought that I can paint.
Hi, my name is Vladimir and I love drawing since young age. I don’t have any formal education in art. Art takes every place in my life.
Greetings to Everyone!
I have been seeking my future in art for many years, and after almost two decades of hard work I have found myself in a challenging situation, as many others have, and faced with choices to either sink or swim. I chose to swim, and do the utmost I can to stay afloat. Art may seem like a difficult choice to make a career from, but for me this is a passion that I must turn from dream into reality. Even in the midst of the pandemic, with all the challenges it brings, I refuse to give up.

The last year in quarentine, I started drawing again after a break of 10 years. at that time,I had decided other carrer path, but eventually Art whispered into my ears and came back into my life, and now I have no choice but to listen to it..

My name is Edison Toapanta. I am participating in this competition to become a great artist and make drawing my way of life.
My purpose in wanting to be an artist is to be able to live from art, specifically from drawing because it is the only activity that I really enjoy, because it gives me a reason to think that I can also be incredible and move people with my work, well because makes my heart beat with great emotion. So I think it takes the second place among the most precious things for me after my family, after all it is what I want to dedicate my entire life to.
