Self Portrait
September 29, 2015
I’ve been drawing since I remember myself. It started off drawing bears that were like a real family to eventually attending art school where I learned how to draw pots and nature. I had to move to U.S.A. in 2010 the same year I was about to graduate from there, so I never got to learn how to draw people (that was the year they taught how to draw faces and human’s body). But this didn’t stop me from trying.
In 6 years I’ve drawn over 20 portraits, well of course besides that I have been drawing other stuff too. In my creations I like to connect something divine or weird with just people let’s say. Like in my project for NMA 2050 class I died my hair grey as well as my eyes to kind of give me that look of “wisdom”. (I’m saying that because people only become wise when they reach a certain point if their life and they are usually already grey-haired by that time). I’m into Egyptian stuff and in Egypt winged Gods were protective gods, not saying that I was aiming to be a goddess but by having those wings I try to tell that I am a protector that came down to earth, to NYC to save it from its chaos. My face expression looks kind of scheming; I know why I came down here and I know what I need to get.
Or I also like to draw girls’ faces and use unusual colors when coloring them. For example I like to draw purple, pink, or yellow eyes…different hair colors…I don’t know something that you do not really bump into that often.
Sometimes my art looks very abstract and I only use pens when creating it.
