Road to success

Last year I had a pretty rough time with my day to day routine. In january and february is difficult at the salon. No money. Not so many clients and it's difficult to just hang in there and pay that damn rent:)) Lucky me....I painted my way out of it. So I figured that if I can't do anything about the salon situation, I just might invest in myself. So I took my heart in my hand and my savings from the pocket and decided to go to pursue a make-up course in Bucharest. I have always wanted to do that because I was curious: what else is there? Can I learn something new? Could someone notice me and help me with my talent? Hopes of a naive artist :))

Unfortunately it was not what I expected. I was dissapointed by this big city. I wanted to find a part time job in doing make-up but I didn't receive any support from my make-up school in a new city. I practically felt like the only thing that was important for the school was taking the money. I felt sad to know that the idea I had in mind when I came there....had a different outcome once there. I stayed through airbnb at a lady with a child. She was nice but a little hot tempered and there was little heat in my room and I was feeling cold because of it. When I started to paint this canvas I said to myself: if this won't be as I expected it , at least I will leave with some nice canvases from here:)))

I used fingerpainting technique in this painting . Entirely. I had such a great time doing this oil painting. I imagined the dark galaxy as being the hardships that I have to get through. The wonderful colorful clouds are the good things that can come up from a nasty experience. The road to success is not easy and it's often quite dark and lonely.

I powered through that one month and a half spent in the big capital. I didn't like the atmosphere, the people, the vibes. You are anonimous in a big city and it's so uncomfortable to feel so alienated and outcasted. I did end up with a fancy make-up diploma which cost me greatly, but I learned so much about myself through the experience and I really loved that I had time to do another passion of mine: FACEPAINTING. Yes, I looove this kind of make-up art. I wish I could do more. But I often felt people looked at me differently because of that. I see it as a form of art. But some see it weird.
