Peace (2024) Digital Arts by Vanessa Jacques

I always liked to draw. In my childhood, I had an eye for detail and a sensitivity to color. At school I liked both literature and science, and I showed an affinity for music and visual arts.

At a young age I wanted to draw as a profession. But I had discovered design and architecture, this beautiful mix of art, mathematics and human care, so I studied applied arts and spatial design until 2014. Although I genuinely like this field, this choice originated from a compromise, which seemed more reasonable a career path to the 13 or 14 years old me than 'the artist life'.

My professional life which had been all mapped out in my head, turned out to be full of ambushes and unexpected opportunities. Before the age of 30, I taught the basic of computers, designed interiors, drawn technical plans, worked in a school finance department!

Today I go back to my childhood love. I want to explore making a living from my art.

Generally speaking, I like working with my hands, therefore I dabble in sewing, DIY, origami among other things. I am also interested in other visual arts such as photography, cinema, video games. I compose music too, and I am thinking about dancing. All of this influences my craft.

A thousand ideas and thoughts run into my head. I am curious about almost everything and I delight in analyzes and reflections, whether intellectual or not. I feel like I struggle with expressing this bubbling with words alone.

Artistic expression acts for me as an interpreter. Let's get to know each other!
