ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My name is Fajr Alam. I am a 15 year-old from Pakistan. I am a self-taught hobbyist artist who started drawing at the age of 3. I like to draw different subjects and styles using color pencils, my favorite medium. Although I come from a non-artistic family, they have always encouraged me. This encouragement gives me the fuel to pursue my passion. I am inspired by beauty and find art to be a source of pleasure. I am starting college soon and will be pursuing a degree in the commerce field. My favorite quote is "I dream my painting and I paint my dream" by Vincent Van Gogh.
