I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I draw and paint on anything, of anything. I like to use mundane things as my canvas and media. Permanent markers, old wooden planks, and ballpoint pens. I also use acrylic paints, aquarels, and pencils. My style varies, going from print-like simple drawings to portraits and still-lifes. I was diagnosed with ASD at 17 years old. It has helped me realise why I am how I am and how I can reflect that in my art.
The artists' stories
"The Vibrant Mind" is an art contest that celebrates artistic expression from individuals with mental health conditions. By focusing on the artists' work rather than their various diagnoses, it hopes to promote a stigma-free and inclusive environment.
That being said, the participants were given the option to share their background stories if they wished to do so.
