Drawing by Şennur

We will have the freedom to benefit from these dark days

Artwork and story by Joel Smith

I started painting and drawing about 20 years ago, but I never was brave enough to become a fill-time artist and leave my job.

The more I think about it, the more I want to create. Art is the passion that deserves everything.

Story and artwork from Corrine G Arekion

My name is Corrine Arekion and I live in Brisbane- Australia. Everyday this year when I come back home from work, I started painting while preparing dinner. I really love painting.

My biggest challenge in Art is painting light and shadows for an emotional uplift.

Story and artwork from Sheri Lacina Lacina

Just a senior grandma trying to capture beauty and energy and life on canvas. I know that my canvas is primitive. I wish to capture the depth and discipline in any form that is so richly conveyed by the masters.

Artwork and story from Somlyai Péter

I am from Nagykőrös. I studied carpentry, while József Rácz was a painter in the fine arts circle 6 b. pencil charcoal to improve my drawing skills watercolor and pastel chalk. I worked as a decorator at the canning factory in Nagykőrös.

Over the last 10 years, I completed several high school graduation examinations at Piarista Grammar School in Kecskemét, self-taught, then attended an online academy and evening school for a painter’s school, Szalk. Apart from János Zoltán Kovács and many outstanding artists, I can acquire the secrets of painting from Contemporary Artists, namely.

“L’infinito”

Hi everyone, my name is Edward, I live in Switzerland but I’m Italian, from Recanati. I grew up in a family of painters, restorers, musicians, directors and photographers, in short, I have breathed and tasted art everywhere! For me art is, and should always be, a motivation without which a person cannot consider himself an artist. I want to grow up with it and I want it to take me far away, to places where even if for a short time ” Il cor non si spaura…”(the heart is not afraid).

I studied art throughout my education, albeit in the wrong institutions. Had I known about Ateliers back then, I would have loved to pursue my artistic educational programme in this direction. I am now married to a beautiful woman and we have two beautiful children working full time for a financial institution.

Artwork and story from Jennifer Liu

I am an artist from High Point, North Carolina, U.S.A., or, to be exact, I am a citizen of the world since in my adult life, I have lived in 11 cities and four countries (China, Panama, Jamaica, and the United States). I have loved to draw since I was little and I am a student of all great artists present and past. I am fluent in four languages and hold an M.A. degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures (Spanish) from a U.S. university with the highest GPA. I have been working as a translator and interpreter for many years since graduation. Besides art and languages, I also enjoy a variety of other hobbies and interest. I am a lifetime learner and believe learning is its own reward.

Artwork and story from Dr Gopi Ghosh

At the ripe age of sixty years I thought my active life was over till I am bitten by the bug called ART. Photography was there in small way but the charm of creating ones own form of aesthetics pestered upon. I started some small pencil and ink work and slowly started playing around with the left-over colours and pastels of my children- now grown up.

First, I need to say that French is my native language. So I hope the readers will be able to capture my feelings through this short English text.

I have started drawing about 18 months ago. I quickly discovered a new artistic passion, in addition to music playing on my guitar. As a beginner, I explore different techniques and medias in a way to improve my drawing skills and find my artistic expression at the same time. I have also tried some watercolor and acrylic painting. Since January 2020, I am drawing everyday.
