I’m the youngest out of all my 5 siblings, and the biggest age gap is 19 years. Naturally they all have their own interests that they wanted to share with me as I was growing up. When I was about 11, one of my brothers introduced me to a book. It wasn’t a normal book with words and a plot; it was a book with pictures and short little anecdotes besides it. It was a book of a famous graffiti artist called Banksy, in it was pictures of stencilled, graffiti work that played with what the government at the time portrayed also playing with what society had become. Some of his work also has a lot to do with irony in this day and age. Of course I didn’t learn this straight away at the age of 11, as I eventually grew up I learnt more about his work, as I was very fond of it! And by then the anecdotes made much more sense.
I am a student taking A levels, and no, none of my A levels have nothing to do with art. I always said to myself Art will never become a job, to me Art will always have a place in my heart and it will always be an interest I will explore myself. The reason why I’m so obsessive over Art it’s because it was the only thing in my childhood that was good, the moment my dad bought an Art kit for me for my seventh birthday was the day I devoted my life to it.
Literally anything to do with Art will always get my attention, good or bad or Banksy.
