\nArtist<\/strong>
\n \u201cI've always enjoyed drawing. I do charcoal drawings and apply the chiaroscuro technique. Art is everything to me because it helps me express myself. For me that is very important.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
\nArtist<\/strong>
\n \u201cRome is the perfect city for creating art. It's full of monuments and places that inspire artists. The Vatican is a beautiful place to draw. It holds centuries of history, which makes it a truly fantastic place to be able to draw.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\n \u201cMy art has been influenced by the Holy Father's humility. This is very inspiring to me.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
