Innocence Drawing

My passion and talent for art is something seemingly sudden. I graduated as a civil engineer, specialized in project management, and spent more than ten years in the construction business. However, somehow every time I finished a job, I felt a void in my professional career that I couldn't seem to fill. Following my instincts a bit, and my passion for art, I decided to take an unexpected step, without knowing what would result from this. I traveled to Florence, Italy, to study interior architecture, and being in the mecca of art, a new world opened before my eyes. Visiting museums, appreciating the works of the great masters, surrounding myself with art and architecture while living and traveling around Europe, became my day to day life. Because it was part of the curriculum, I took a drawing course and suddenly, without realizing it, I started drawing, something I hadn't done since I was very little. I've been drawing for almost a year now, initially I did it as a hobby, exploring a skill that I was rediscovering; however, I am now dedicated full time to this exciting job. I said at the beginning that my passion and artistic talent seemed to have surfaced suddenly, but the truth is that the reason for everything is in genetics: my mother, who passed away in 2013 at 57 years old, was a great artist, and she also inherited that immense talent from my grandfather. My mother participated in many exhibitions and art biennials, such as those in Florence and Romania. Without a doubt this is her legacy. In a way, that talent was transferred to me, I don't know how or when, but here I am, following in her footsteps and continuing her work.
