I was born in the hospital where my mother worked in Manhattan, New York. Right across the Hudson was where I grew up for six or seven years - Dumont, New Jersey. From there, my family traveled to first Avondale and then settled in Gilbert, Arizona where I have lived for the past decade and can proudly call my home. I have been drawing my entire life; my artistic influences are a huge array of distinctive artists. I particularly love Kim Jung-gi, Conrad Roset, Norman Rockwell, Iain McCaig, and many others. I preferably work traditionally which is why I wanted to take this course. Developing my skill in another form of media is the perfect step for betterment.
As a child, I found something fascinating about interpretation. The form of expression invigorated me and gave me life. To interpret beauty through my eyes was my goal. I aimed to show everyone what I saw. There were stories to tell and many things to create. New world's were constructed every day in this place called Mind. And then one day, I interpreted all the beauty in the world but my own. I often found beauty in many things because I couldn't find it in myself. In a time of peril, when Life - the bearer of suffering - came about, all I wanted was for the world to understand my pain. I felt so much yet no one could empathize like myself. The ones that I loved stood back in desperation and helplessness for their lack of understanding. So then I drew my heart out. I wrote my heart out. I sung my heart out. I cried my heart out. I began to reveal what was inside of me. The words I write and the drawings I create are not for me, but for everyone. I aim to interpret my emotions in the best way possible.
There is a beauty in emotions and interpreting them, I've had a fascination towards the human mind and it's mysteries. Why do we still feel an overwhelming sense of awe and joy in times of darkness?Why do we naturally love? Why do we break? The more I interpret my own feelings and share it to everyone, the more the public as a whole can understand each other. There will be more empathy.
Art is a form of expressing the deepest most inner parts of the human psyche, and for me it can visualise the tyranny of mood disorders and its agonizing symptoms. It can take any affair, as long as it conveys something of interpretation and passion - I believe that is what true beauty is.
