I've always enjoyed painting and drawing. I believe it is a good way of expressing myself and I love feeling like if I were able to bring all those things that are floating in my brain to life. It is my favourite hobby and I believe I am quite good at it, though, in the very beggining, I wasn't at all. I started to be interested in painting when I was eight and my cousin, who is more or less my age, showed me a beautiful painting that was made-up by her. It was an oil painting of a teddy bear that she'd done in arts class. I really liked it and when her mother asked me if I would like take up arts class with my cousin I aswer affirmatively. Nowadays I'm still attending there, not with my cousin but with my best friend, who also likes painting. We paint a media of four or five paintings a year and our parents don't know what to do with all our works. There's no space for them! I would like exhibit my paintings someday, well in fact I've already done but it wasn't a serious exhibition. By now, I'm thinking about selling some of my works so as to solve the space problem.
