When art speaks

When+art+speaks

Art has always been a form of escape and expression. Whether it’s in drawing, painting, photography or graphic design, art has always served as my go-to way of escaping reality for a while and simultaneously expressing myself in unique and creative ways. 

I love art because it’s a language in itself. I love being able to communicate different ideas and concepts without having to use any words. Whether it’s through photography, where I use a camera to capture different concepts, or in physical artwork using different mediums such as paint or pencil, I can communicate clearly. 

Being able to use different ways to express different ideas and themes without the use of words is something that I really value, especially because I’m not very confident in my writing skills. Therefore, art has always been the perfect alternative to words for me. 

In addition to using art as a form of escape and expression, I love how art can be used as a gift and a way to bring joy into other people’s lives. I often create drawings of a family member or a friend’s favorite musical artist as a present. Whether it’s my own gift to someone or a gift for someone to give to another person, the gratitude that is expressed by someone receiving a piece of my artwork is always rewarding.
