Past & Present

I have loved painting since I was a child. The main reason for that is my dad. He also loves painting very much. But he wasn't allowed to go ahead with painting by his parents. So he drew as a hobby. When dad draws a painting, I look at it and try to draw the same painting. It's like a beautiful match. My dad was the first to give my hand a pencil and a painting  brush. He is my first Art teacher. At that time, my dad's dream was going to Heywood Institute of Art. But he couldn't achieve it. Then that dream became mine and I worked hard for it. Now I am an undergraduate in faculty of Visual Art, at University of Visual and Performing Arts. So I think I made my dad's dream come true. Dad and I have a lot of paintings collected from the past to the present. There are still great lessons to be learned from every line in each of those paintings. Dreams do come true. And the present  is more beautiful When   it's filled with past memories and dreams.
