Jiyoung Rejina Pyo

My teenage years were spent drawing and painting until 10pm every night to get into the best art university in Korea. I loved it. Then all the wonderful things happened after I started @rejinapyo. I missed painting so much. The Artist’s Way made me realize that my dream of becoming a granny artist didn’t need to wait. It’s been six years since getting over that first fear of making art again - doubting, learning, agonising, and growing. I had huge hesitation about showing this painting until the last moment, but thank you, @eileen_cooper_ra , for encouraging me to enter @royalacademyarts , and thank you to Paul Hollingsworth and the judges for seeing what I was trying to say with this painting. Never too late, never stop. I hope this little boy reminds all of us of our bittersweet childhoods, which have shaped who we are today and are still in a deep corner of our hearts, waiting for us to pay attention and be held.
