Interview with Lily
and Paolo
How Two PicsArtists Fell in Love
Lily and Paolo are PicsArt users from different
corners of the world, who met each other and fell
in love right here in the PicsArt community. What
started as sharing art and commenting has grown
into a full-blown romance between Lily, who lives
in Hong Kong, and Paolo, who lives in Rome. We
asked them to share more of their story with us in
an interview. Lily replied “Me and Paolo would love
to share our love story and we thank you for this
beautiful gift for us.” Here is our interview with Lily
and Paolo.
Lily, how did you get started on PicsArt and what
did you like most about it?

Lily: I was looking for a photo editor app when I saw
Picsin… the old version. I used it to edit pics to post
on Facebook, then uninstalled it for a while because
there was not enough memory on my old phone.
I decided to install it again when it was no longer
Picsin, but rather PicsArt. I still used it to edit pics to
post on Facebook because I didn’t know that it was
also a community for artists and photographers. I
found out that you can connect to other artists all over the world when I tried to
post a pic and saw the “Share with PicsArt” option. I was surprised at how many
notifications and new followers I started to get. I was not that active of a user
at that time because I was using my old phone which had a bad quality camera.
When I got my new phone, I started taking better photos and posting more. I met
some Filipino artists in the community and they encouraged me to stay on the
app. I don't like the app. I LOVE the app because I found out that there is an artist
in me. I didn't know how my imagination worked until I got PicsArt. The best of
the best photo editing. For me it's a complete app. I was not looking for love in this
app but love caught me off guard and took me by surprise. They say that love finds
you when you least expect it and now I believe it to be true, because when I had
given up hope God gave me His blessing by sending me Paolo.
