I learned painting from my grandfather

I’m A painter with a coffee stained smile, living at her brown classic world. I hope you enjoy about my story.
I’m 23 years old. I’m from iran. I was a chemical engineering student and it’s been 2 years since I graduated from university. I have been about 11 years ago I learned painting from my grandfather. I have studied the works of old master for many years and for 3 years I have been trying to teach everything I know about art to students. At first, art was a hobby for me, but little by little art took over my whole life. My biggest artistic challenge was trying to add color to my black and white world and after a few years I started painting and I can say that my only motivation to working with color was Old Master academy. This academy was the best and most complete source for me to start working boldly and find a place for myself in art. I tried a lot in this way, and most of the time I failed because I didn’t have reliable people by my side, many people cheated and stole my works. Many people misuse my content and research, and your vote can be an encouragement for me so that I can continue with more energy.

Artists are not like athletes. We cannot win gold. We cannot beat other creatives. We cannot come first. Sport is objective. Our craft is subjective. Creating to “be the best” is a waste of energy. Instead, create to connect to the people who need you. Because they’re out there. Create in your way, because there’s no right way to take the pressure off, and focus on your unique brand of magic.

At the end, I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.
