From Disgrace to Pride: An Artist’s Journey

They said art was a waste of time. That it would earn me nothing but disgrace. I heard those words as a child—soft brushes in my hand, colors in my heart. They laughed, dismissed it, warned me that painting was a path to nowhere.

But they were wrong.

Art runs in my blood, a gift from my father. And today, I stand proud—an artist in Paris, recognized, rewarded, and fulfilled. What they once mocked now defines my success. The patience, the perfection, the quiet strength I learned through art—it’s shaped every part of me. Not just on the canvas, but in business, in life.

I design websites. I craft social media strategies. I bring visions to life. All of it, deeply rooted in the artist I refused to bury.

What if I had listened to them?

I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t be me.

So, to anyone whose passion is met with doubt—keep going. Even if the world calls it disgrace, your art has a reason. A place. A future.

And one day, you’ll be proud you never let it go.
