hi emmy,it was a great inspiration to visit your site.I am returning to study in 2012,to complete a diploma of visual arts,and looking at your work gave me a real kick in the pants,because it displays to me just what can be achieved by diligent,disciplined hard work.Your website,and profile,resume history,shows to me that this is no passing phase but a lifelong passion of yours,and something that youve devoted alot of effort into.
Your gesture drawings are truly motivational in that you have essentially grasped a vision in your life drawing and have translated that through a drawing encompassing economy of line,and effective gestural lines indicating form.
Congratulations, on your successful prizes, as your work is evident of maturity,and excellence.good luck in all your professional endeavours.
THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION TO CONTINUE WITH MY WORK…
MICHAEL LOUKERIS…
Thank you for your comment Michael. It’s great you are re connecting with your own art again and I am delighted that my work has helped inspire & motivate you. Good luck with your studies this year…its certainly a question of commitment. Keep an eye on the website for my exhibition later in 2012.
Regards Emmy Mavroidis
