Biography
i wanted to be a painter all my life. I failed seven times to get into art school. So i studied economics to make a living with investment in order to support myself while learning how to paint by myself.
I was hired by a bank, got into hedge fund business and found out after some years that i was at a very wrong place. This where my early thirties, i desperately tried to get out of working in business. But by then i had to support a family. Yet my dream was alive.
So i went part time, painting daily for hours and hours. Too shy to ask for someone to sit for me i was painting only from memory and imagination. I had picked up meditation in my early twenties and my artistic interest was the struggle of humans finding their way to enlightenment. Which i felt was best represented by the human face.
Finally, ten years later, my hand began to move.
People started to recognise, some started to follow me. Exibitions happened and i got feedback as i never imagined i would ever get. In one month 700 000 people saw my work in instagram, with thousands of likes and hundreds of comments.
That my story, thanks for reading, thanks for seeing.
