A reference to a scene in the movie “Call me by your name”.

My inspiration for this piece was the book and movie “Call me by your name”. This movie is very personal to me and i love it very deeply. It has changed my perspective about love and relationships and I would recommend it to anyone who likes movies. My inspiration for my art as a whole is renaissance and religious art. I take a lot of inspiration from those because I love the style of that type of art.

Valentines day is a wierd holiday, but it can be fun. I have gotten into making jewelry lately so I thought I would share it with everyone.

The simple act of putting pen to paper becomes an intimate dialogue, a tangible expression of feelings that often remain unsaid in everyday life. drawing these letters allowed me to reflect on the ways in which language shapes our relationships and our inner worlds.

I’m interested in negative and positive space and the many ways to take up said space. Shapes and patterns I see in my day to day life inspire me. I think much of my art is a reconfiguration of experiences and valuable means to contemplate possibilities.

My piece was inspired by my brother, this past year he was in a very toxic relationship. Me and my family all saw how it effected him and the way it changed his behavior. I remember how frustrated I would get with him because she would treat him terribly and he would always defend it. Now that’s he's out of this relationship he realizes how wrong she was to do that to him. My piece is to show that love can be consuming, and it’s important to stick by your boundaries.

Socks holding hands ;)

I create work that reflects my personal life. Exploring topics of friendship, love, loss and nostalgia.

This piece is a moment captured of my partner (Luke) and I’s socks holding hands, titled after the song, ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)’ by the Proclaimers because yes, I would walk 500 miles for him and I would walk 500 more just to be the man that walked 1000 miles to fall down at his (Luke’s) door.

I'm inspired by the weird and strange, works of the early century trying to tackle concepts that were just starting anew as the raw creativity it was. Adapting that very creativity out of their words is a passion i love, simple or complex descriptions ill take to heart and go on to add flare or extra color to bring it to life.

For my first show at YAC, I have done this somewhat valentines inspired piece of lovers embracing for the valentines show as a sort of, formal entrance to the YAC community. Although this work is in acrylic, I take a lot more inspiration for old oil painters and impressionism, remaining loose in colour and form to obtain my desired piece.

A piece based off a poem

This piece is inspired by a poem that my partner wrote for me. Visual story telling is incredibly important to me because it helps people see something that they can't, and it shows the creativity of humans

Hi, my name is Sofia Escobar. I am 14 years old and this is my first year at YAC! I mainly work with acrylic, or gouache paint and graphite pencils with some colored pencils. through YAC I am hoping to branch out into new things. I like to include elements of death and life in my work and I am fascinated by the contrast of life and death in my work. I also love using hands and eyes in my my work. I am greatly inspired my black and white illustration and bold, contrasting colors in clothes. Graphic design is also something I love to scroll through for inspiration. I am excited that YAC will be able to help me with my artistic journey in the years to come.
