I've always had a deep passion for art, and when I heard about the P6 Art Competition, I saw it as a fantastic opportunity to showcase my creativity and artistic skills. I wanted to challenge myself and push the boundaries of my abilities, while also testing my skills against other talented artists.

The theme for my piece was "Nature". I was inspired by nature's resilience and ability to adapt and thrive in unexpected and challenging environments. It's a reminder of the tenacity of life and how even in the most unconventional and adverse conditions, nature can find a way to flourish. The juxtaposition of the natural world and a man-made object like a can creates a compelling visual contrast, emphasising the idea of nature's ability to overcome human intervention and thrive despite obstacles.

Over the course of creating my artwork, I was able to experiment with a variety of different mediums and subject matter which helped me get out of my comfort zone, think outside the box, and approach my work from different perspectives.

The Junior Academy was a truly unforgettable experience that allowed me to connect with other fellow artists who share the same passion for Visual Arts. It was great to interact with other like-minded individuals and exchange ideas within such a supportive community. One aspect that really stood out was the guidance and mentorship provided by the teachers during the workshops. They not only offered technical guidance but also challenged us with thought-provoking prompts, inspiring us to explore new horizons and grow as aspiring artists.
