Since I was a little girl, I never managed to express or show how I feel inside. I was and still am so sensitive about everything. I used to make lots of sketches privately but that wasn't really a relief. I tried to write thoughts many times, then I started writing poems. It was so much better than pencil sketches but still not that good for me. I was always afraid to take a step and show my deep feelings through art. But eventually I decided to try teaching my self how to use other art materials like oil and acrylics instead of pencils, canvas instead of paper. I somehow managed to touch some people's hearts through my paintings and that was more than enough to satisfy my emotional, never sleep, deep feelings.
