Basically, my artwork is inspired by my environment. My mother doesn & 039;t know I draw, my father doesn & 039;t, my friends doesn & 039;t too. Nobody knows. I & 039;ve been hiding the fact that I draw by the reason that the mindset of people from the Philippines (where I live in) tells that doing art is just a waste of time since there is no money in it. People here consider artists as decorations, not workers. They pay small amount for an extravagant art not considering the blood, sweat, and tears poured into it. Now I & 039;m stuck, whether to pursue arts or not. At first, I thought I & 039;m lost. Then, I realized that I & 039;m still on my way. On my way towards success. My new year & 039;s resolution would be to "take my time ". I should trust the process and stop pressuring myself to improve quickly. Hoping someday, I & 039;ll bloom and show to my family, my country, that art isn & 039;t just an art.
