Artists are born, not made: THIS IS WRONG!

✨ You have always been led to believe that creativity flows naturally and effortlessly.

✨ You have always thought that the ability to capture the beauty of the world around us is innate.

✨ True artists never lose their inspiration and always produce masterpieces when they face the world with their sketchbooks.

Am I wrong?

Well, these are myths! There is no magical, innate talent, but what you admire so much in others is just the result of effort and dedication. That's right!

PATIENCE, DEDICATION, PASSION: these are the three elements that make you a true artist.

I won't deny that some may have a head start, but I promise you that if you have the desire, you can become a true artist yourself!

My role is to guide you on this creative journey, equipping you with the tools and knowledge to capture the soul of the world around you.

What do you think? Let's start this journey together!
