Visions from Forgotten Worlds: Bridging Dreams with Line and Light
Hello, my name is Jess. I’m a fine artist devoted to telling soulful, symbolic stories through charcoal, oil, and ink. For me, art isn’t just a creative outlet—it’s a sacred calling. It’s how I process the world, make meaning from mystery, and offer beauty back to others.

I have been drawing and painting since High school since the 1990s, I have always been passionate about art. My favorite artistic subjects are both the realism and naturalism type. My favorite historical artists are Rembrandt, Caravaggio, and Utamaro. I like to paint with oil medium and also to draw. My favorite themes are portraits from mythology, historical figures, and sceneries.
Nefitlabata is a Portuguese word for “dreamer, or someone who lives in their imagination”. I am autistic (high functioning) so this an apt a title as I can conjure.
Aside from the art aspect, I am a former drug addict turned athlete and am attending to school to secure a better future beyond construction. God blessed me with a gift I need to cultivate and grow the right way.
My name is Dipto Dev Nath From Bangladesh, and art has always been more than just a hobby — it’s a core part of how I express and understand the world. Since I was young, I’ve been drawn to creating. Whether it’s sketching from life, experimenting with styles, or just letting my imagination take over, art is where I find both peace and purpose.
My name is Suann li, really enjoy traveling around the world. One summer I went to Istanbul, Turkey, caught this moment.
I’ve been drawing for quite a few years now as a child up till now, however I’ve not really paid attention to the theory of art much, and a lot of my drawing skills are based from observations and references. In the early years I began drawing using the basic paper and pen, however a couple years ago, I really got back into drawing again. This is when I discovered digital art and thought it was amazing so I bought myself a graphics tablet, which is what I’m currently mainly using. Although I do like to go back to traditional every now and again.
I am not an artist from early life, but I really enjoy art, especially paintings. So I took several art classes from your online courses. Recently I have seen Fechin’s paintings, especially his portraits, and I really like the color of the skin he painted. That kind of pink and bright feeling is very pleasing, so I also want to try to paint it.
I started drawing 15 years ago, when I was in the ninth grade, I used to draw anime and my favorite characters, but in university I used to draw portraits using squares only, after that I stopped drawing for a while, and started academic drawing in 2021, and I stayed at the Art Institute for two years, but I only learned to draw still life with pencil and oil colors, and how to draw pictures on canvas, but I never learned portraiture in an academic way, and now I am very interested in drawing portraits and bodies and I have difficulty drawing them even though my level in oil painting is advanced.
My name is Souad. I studied library science at university, passionate about art since I was young and did not discover my talent for drawing until I was 26 years old, I love drawing when I draw, I forget the world, it makes me feel happy and with it I forget my worries and the challenges I faced, I wanted to enter the School of Fine Arts, they told me that my age does not allow, it must not exceed 23 years to enter and the state in which I live there are no drawing workshops and I did not have money at the time, after that I entered the House of Culture but to no avail, I did not notice any development in my level.
