About

Charcoal is one of the first tools humans used to make artwork, appearing in cave paintings
dating back 28,000 years. The first use of charcoal for purposes other than providing heat was
around 30,000 BC when cavemen used it as a pigment for drawing on the walls of caves.
My Art is a reflection of resilience, born from moments when life fractured me.
Each drawing captures the depth of those experiences, translating Pain into Beauty and Struggle
into Strength. Just as life has broken me and rebuilt me, my art emerges from those cracks,
revealing a story of survival and transformation with every stroke.
An immensely difficult medium to master yet incredibly expressive medium.
Through my work, I hope to inspire others.

But telling a story through the photographs you capture, that is how you become an artist. Steeven is such an artist. Emotion. Connection. Fascination. These are the tools of creativity which Steeven uses to tell his stories, through the photographs he creates, each creation a new chapter in the story of life through his lens. Well done Steeven, your photographs are a testament to the power of a creative mind and I can’t wait to see your story you will tell us next.” www.PaulChoy.com , Facebook , Instagram
