Osvaldo's Quick Bio = Some of the careers I wanted to pursue when I was younger were being a chef making music in a studio. I landed on art because I was actually decent at it.

I’ve been drawing portraits ever since 7th grade and have grown my skills ever since. After years of learning techniques online, I found this one technique for drawing portraits that involved simplifying the face into simple shapes. I’ve always heard about this technique, but I never really understood it when I was younger. Recently, I’ve been able to have a better sense of utilizing the method and apply it to other subjects. I’ve always loved the things that can come out of randomness and playing around. That’s what I wanted to do, distort preexisting items to create something that looks alien to us. I’ve never considered myself creative because my art is mostly reproductions of references. Still, the more I understand what I am looking at, the more I feel comfortable altering it. This has allowed me to have more ideas and create something more creative than a simple reproduction of a photo. I hope that other people will learn the method as mastering it can provide a lot of freedom.
