Were you always artistically talented or did you have to work hard for it?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I have always enjoyed practicing. I always liked to practice free drawing and the use of colors by using different techniques on paper. This life of practicing has given me the current ability in painting and drawing, a joyous endeavor. You must find enjoyment in the work itself then it will make the process of learning easier. I think talent is related to this enjoyment. I know that I have to work hard to keep my ability even if I\u2019m talented.\u00a0 I see that those who practice constantly, have acquired greater ease in painting and drawing over the years. Constant practicing is the key.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Did you have a role model or a teacher who taught you everything?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Not really. Not a specific one. I had the opportunity to work with excellent professionals from different creative and communication areas. What formed me was the daily work with these professionals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”21157″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How did you go from being a layout designer to being a commercial artist and now a teacher for\u00a0 Plein Air watercolour painting?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

With much suffering (laughs!) The transition of this cycle took me approximately 3 years. Between giving up a promising career in communication and discovering and finding a new path in arts, I went through many doubts, moments of dissatisfaction, revisions of concepts in life, changes in standards, crises with the closest people, and mainly detachment.<\/p>\n

For such a change, it is necessary to rebuild your life and leave behind old things and values to gain and see new perspectives. This process is quite painful until you change the cycle and know that you are being honest with yourself. The feeling of freedom is rewarding and shows that it is the right way to go.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21150″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
