8 months ago, before moving to Chicago, i was living in North Carolina with my uncles and gradparents. My family moved to Chicago before but i stayed to finish high school. I didnt have a job at that time, so money was an issue for me, but no matter what i never took money from my savings account. One day going to an art and craft store, something caught my eye, drawing classes! I signed up and paid for the classes which was just 2 days a week, my teacher a professional artist from Italy told me that the drawing class was too easy for me, so later i signed up for oil painting classes, but i knew i couldnt afford it for too long, so did i really wanted to signed up and spend my money on that? like any other stupid 19 year old i did, and after 3 months my pockets were empty, leaving me with no cash but with a dream. I did that because i believe that small sacrificies at first can bring more things to you in the future. The only thing that has changed since then, is that now i have a job and i make more than anyone else in my family, but my dreams still the same, maybe i havent give up enough yet. This is how art is relate to me and my life. Here are some of the paintings that i made on my own, after taking classes with my instructor, enjoy :-)
