Amature artist proud to invest and improve his work: Mauro Zuniga

Fan art of Charlie Simpson

For a student he is very mature and thinks that Art is a way to extend ourselves into the world; every human being has the ability to make art to express what they have inside them and share it with the rest of the world. He loves Bobby Chiu for his concept and character design. He likes Bobby Chiu because he inspires many artists over the world to be creative and work on their own art. Mauro recommends a book of Booby Chiu “The perfect bait” to every artist to read!

The new generation kid thinks that the internet is the best place to find amazing art. And finds that Going to museums is great, but not everyone has the chance to visit often. That’s the reason he appreciates the fact that just turning on your pc and going online to see art from all over the world is amazing.Along with his own some illustrations he has collected some from his fellow artists/friends who make wonderful drawings.

Any teenager dream: dream to have their first “passionate kiss”, is one among the best work Mauro has worked upon, he likes it too as he has his deep emotions and thought put in the drawing.

            Taking time from his college Mauro is working on “daily sketches” which are 1 hour drawings to keep him fresh, and also he is working on his own web comic that he is planning to sometime next year. He prefers selling his art online on DeviantArt page which can reach people around the world; there are some featured prints people can buy from there.

            Still a graphic design student not started to make a living of his art yet. But he dreams and wants to work hard on improving his skills so one day he can focus on selling his own stuff and making a living off it. He thinks that government doesn't support art and artists; Art is much underrated in this country. Mauro adds to his points that in his city (Medellín) they've been trying to give support to local artists, so that art can have a greater value and is more acknowledged by the citizens. 

When government bodies don’t support people like Mauro come forward, whenever they can. He tries to support local artist by buying their art, or promoting them on his social networks like facebook, tublr, twitter, etc…Mauro is a sucker for music, so he likes to play music (electric bass and drums). Also likes to watch a lot of movies. He thinks that the audiovisual world is where he gets most of his inspiration from.

One surprising fact to which most people react about Mauro is that he can talk fluently in 3 languages (English, Spanish and Dutch). People will be amazed to learn that he is learning 2 more (German and French).

“When a living creature makes something out of their creativity as an extension of themselves and there’s someone to share it with: is a piece of art. Art needs to be seen! If an artist doesn’t share their art, it only exists for them and dies with them.”

Mauro thinks that Art is a way to connect with yourself and others; so work hard on your art. Don’t bother if you are sad or happy, this is the only way you will see improvement and will be proud of yourself for the effort and time you have invested.

Mauro a graphic designing student from: the Pontifician Bolivarian University of Medellín – Colombia. He is focused on illustration, because drawing is something he enjoys grandiosely. His drawings are unique pieces because he uses them as a way to express what he feels. So, even if he tries to re-make a drawing, it wouldn't be the same because emotions are something strong and changing. Even his most silly drawing has a part of him, he want to share with the world.
