CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
were created in. I had already learnt how to draw, paint with acrylics, oils, sculpt, and my classes simply assisted in the modifications and improvement of my abilities and technique. Although I had not touched a watercolour brush in my life and had no experience with the medium whatsoever. To this day it is one of my most cherished mediums to work with and I believe that I have somewhat mastered my own personal and inner craftsmanship when it comes to watercolours. My love for drawing, sculpting, and oil / acrylic painting are still fully intact and I commonly alternate between mediums according to my moods and visions, however this particular series I absolutely felt would be best expressed by myself within the watercolour medium. It was the freedom of the flowing water and pigment on the paper that assisted my inner spirit flow, within my hands and through my brush strokes.
Ultimately I can also say with great compassion, that my education and artistic studies had great influence on my overall evolution as an artist. This influence can primarily be attributed to the likes of three individuals all of which were previous professors of mine. It was Professor Joachim Fernandez a very gifted sculptor who whole heartedly spoke of his passions and experiences with art as a young man, giving me great inspiration and making it clear in my mind that my professional identity in this world; was to be an artist. A Professor and a very talented performance artist, mixed mediest, painter, and illustrator; Mr. Kurt Von Voetsch showered his students with many of his personal stories, experiences, and passions within the field. To sum up Mr. Von Voetsch in one sentence; I would say that he has proven to me on numerous occasions that no matter who you are or what you do, where you come from or where your headed, anything is possible with faith. Lastly but not least, I must attribute my knowledge, experience, and talent within the watercolour medium to this very special individual, Professor Lillian Mendez. An exceedingly talented artist in general but obtained a particularly special aptitude when it came to the watercolour medium. She has taught me almost everything I know today when it comes to working with the tricky medium and for that I am forever
