Artworks by Elson Lima

Ready to Pursue my Dream

Ever since I was very young I had always shown a natural tendency towards things related to art. Because of this, I became a ballet dancer when I was still a teenager. Movements have always fascinated me and helped me to understand my life and also how human body works, so I do not regret all those years of hard work I had spent to be able to achieve ballet difficult technique even though currently I am not dancing anymore; my background is in classical ballet…

I am a brazilian guy named Elson who right after leaving ballet have been walking aimless in life til the day I rediscovered nearly two years ago the magical power of painting and drawing – which in fact I have always known I had due to inner feelings and manual skills. So I went on and on drawing and painting and working with many kinds of materials like guache, acrilic, markers and also oil on canvas. I was not quite sure what kind of art I was making for the sake of lack of techinique and so on, but I didn’t care, because my aim was just let my instinct flow. Today, after such period of experimentations, I have realised it’s high time to go to the next level and try out academic experiences related to painting, I mean, to go deep within!!

That’s why I need to be the winner, because in Brazil it’s very difficult or maybe impossible to find such opportunities as this in Web Art Academy to develop my painting through what real paint art is all about. And to fullfil my dream of getting this knowledge and access to academic technique painting processes, I am count on your friendly vote.
