Art to me is "le monde"

I was brought to this world on the 13th of July in the year of 1993 unaware of what life had in store for me.As a young girl i doodled on every empty spot on whatever paper i could get my hands on. I have even gone to the extend of doodling on the walls of my late grandmother's home with the colourfull pencils and crayons that i had.
 As "cuisson" may be my cup of tea, drawing and painting are as they have always been the passion of my life. As an elementary student, i cherished every moment of art class i had on weekends,even if i found the demands of my art teacher too stifling. The artist i was being guided i was being guided by always gave me free reign to my artistic talents rather than dictating both the subject and medium of art project. He inspire me to go beyond the limits that were normally thought in school. This allowed me to widen my artistic horizons and to navigate my direction towards abstract expressionism.Soon, art historians such as Edvard Munch from the 19th century and Pollock Jackson from the 20th century were artists that i looked up to. 


Fortunately, my love for art compelled me to pursue my talent outside the classroom,i.e. in the privacy of my room that i fondly called my 'studio'.Art has been and continues to be the main outlet for my feelings next to music.With many people unable to voice out their opinions,i most certainly find that art helps an individual to express ones feelings in a much more sophisticated / creative manner where things are not laid out raw. I find art a very healthy way of pouring out my feelings being the rebellious teenager that i can be.When I'm depressed, melancholy expressions overwhelm my paintings. Frustration or rage is highlighted by shades of red or bright orange. A distorted face done in the cubist style of Picasso shows up in drawings made in times of astronomic bliss.


As i bloomed, i was attracted to structures of buildings all around me.Architecture has interested me for many years.I have always enjoyed the great detail and through drawings that are involved. Architects use difficult mathematical functions just as much as they use art and design.



Finally, art is something that is common to many of us and it would be very difficult to stamp it out of our society and culture in the modern era today.
