Art the passion I live by
Story and artwork from Henry Ikiseh
Right from my childhood, I have always loved the art, but not with a vision to be an artist due to pressure from my dad who wanted me to be an engineer. I was forced to explore the sciences. But all of my quest in the sciences could not hold me back from my passion. In desperation, I sort various artists who could teach me how to draw. I paid a little stipend in return, even though I had no money to pay, I would save up some money from my daily pocket money to pay for their services. Their charges were too expensive for me, so, I stopped and began to practice drawing on my own.

I am inspired by my mom, who sponsors why passion, my sister who enjoys art, my dad who is my personal art critiquer, and Walt Disney, who is my idol.
I want to be a painter
Story and artwork from Sandra Sepúlveda
Art is my life. When I was little, I spent my days sailing between paintings and when I was 9 years old, in front of a Picasso painting in Madrid, I said to myself “I want to be a painter”. I decided from then on that I wanted to dedicate my entire life to giving people the same feeling that art gives me.
