Week Five: For The Love of Art

Habeba Mostafa April 23, 2020

Expression can be felt through the careful placement of words, the complementing of colors, the beauty of symmetry.

I’m drawn to the challenge of creating. I’m drawn to the intimacy of art-- all art. When I feel the most alone, I find the comfort of art readily available. It welcomes me, whole heartedly, and accepts every rushing thought. Every insecurity is forgotten, as I become preoccupied. I become whole as I visually assemble every vision.

I never knew I could draw until 2 years ago. I was very impatient growing up, and I never had the mental capacity to sit and erase my mistakes over and over again. These Disney drawings became a personal challenge I set for myself, and although they aren’t original, they’re important.  I always wished I could be a traditional artist, lost in the world of brush strokes and acrylic paints: This is the first step.
