Reflection - The Artist @tezzmax

#artonsteemit


The first time I saw one of his drawings it felt as if the world stopped. All I could do was look at that picture no one seemed to notice. Not a single comment, not a word of praise, not even 0.01 upvote.

How can it be you are not rewarded, I asked.

Although, he wasn't he kept posting. Others like him but also writers would have left steemit a long time ago. I find it hard to believe there is no one on Steemit liking the drawings this artist makes. I've seen worse, way worse receiving fat upvotes! So I asked some questions.

Reflection

Why art?

I had a very lonely childhood and art was what I found early as a way out of boredom and loneliness. I chose art since I was 7.

Which drawing technique has your preference?

I love a lot of drawing and painting techniques but I love my scribble approach more.

Does mood influence your work?

I wouldn’t say yes or no, I think it just depends on whatever I allow or choose to embrace. Anger could even be a good artistic drive for me sometimes.

Is your family supportive?

Yes! I made it known to my household since I was 7 that art is all I want and they accepted and never stopped supporting even when they do not understand it.

Education?

Considering my passion for art since childhood, I had always been one of the best to appoint whenever it comes to Art right from my Elementary and through high school also. I never had any doubts about me studying art in the University and yes! I am now a graduate of Visual Arts from the prestigious University of Lagos, Nigeria.

Friendship

Are you the only one?

I’ve had about two friends
since high school who are also practicing art now professionally and of course a lot of artist friends from my university days and they are all thriving in their own spheres.
