I want a career and the rewards of being an accomplished artist who is taken seriously

Painting by Dolores Angela Colombo Brittain

I have loved art since I could walk, and throughout the years it has always taken a back burner. Until now.

Of course some may say its too late at 56 to try and become a “master” but I believe that all things are mind over matter.

I constantly challenge myself, and also try to help others. Money has been a reward at times, but really the reward is more spiritual to me, to conquer my fears, and press in. I do a lot of work with elderly people to keep there brain muscle moving creatively, but I’m afraid it barely pays the gas and supplies.

I want a career and the rewards of being an accomplished artist who is taken seriously! …

I want to be able to paint well, not for an audience, bur for myself..I have learned quite a bit from the academy and hope to use it for the rest of my life. …

An artist looking for inspiration

My name is Luan Ricardo Friant, I am a self-taught student. I’ve been drawing for about 4 years and I’ve been painting for 3 years.
I’m Brazilian and I’m always doing my best to improve my knowledge, especially with the contrubuições of the great masters.

I work with oil painting, drawing charcoal and graphite. I have already participated in a collective exhibition in my city, Aracaju. I study Rembrandt’s techniques in a deeply personal way. Nowadays I study the realist school, I believe that life without art would have no purpose. …
