Story and artwork from Jacob Lesan
I grew up in Slovakia, where castles and forests formed an integral part of my make-believe worlds as a child. I quickly discovered drawing as a way to portray the intense visions in my mind.

As Leonard Da Vinci said “a beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.” This compelling pull to find beauty in an imperfect world is where art takes me. It brings emotions that shows me the true beauty of the imperfect world I live in. The entire imperfect universe is a canvas of beauty.
