Sobre el Artista

My name is Silvia Schmitt and I love drawing ever since I can remember. My older brother is my role model, I always tried to equal him when he created a new artwork. I practised a lot, actually no day went by without being creative. I am experienced with pen and ink, watercolour, pastel etc., but my favourite soon became figural drawings with pencil and coloured pencil. Although I always knew my real passion was art, I have worked as an employee for airfreight for five years. I soon noticed that it did not fulfil me, I felt like an empty shell. Because of that I followed my actual dream, to work as a professional artist. Inspired by several painters I discovered my passion for photorealistic drawings in October 2014. My goal is to capture the soul and beauty of each individual and convey my feelings to other artists and people interested in the arts.
