My name is Elijah Raventós Pujol, and I'm from Barcelona.
I did Bachelor of Arts at Escolapies Llúria (2014-2016)
I started the academy in Oct of 2016 at the age of 17 years old.
Now I'm cursing my 3rd year in the academy and I need continue because I want to be a really good painter, I'm not comfortable at the stage I am.
I participate in 2 exhibitions: "Helado de Vainilla" in Axel Hotel Barcelona (11th April 2019)
"Misnoma: The Wild and The Tame" in Mutuo Gallery, Barcelona (1st-15th July 2019)
I participated in the Sant Jordi Contest during my bachelor and I won the drawing section and the writing section. I didn't participate in any other contest because I was an insecure person. Now I have enough portfolio and I'm sure I can participate and win contests.
Currently many students recognize me in the academy and ask me for recibe my critics. In my bachelor all people considerate me the best artist in the building, and my mark cut-off was 10/10.
When I was a child my artistic reference were Dalí and Van Gogh, and in Sitges -my town- the painter Manuel Blesa followed my progress. But now my references are Sorolla, Sargent, Golucho, Nicolás V Sánchez, Nick Alm, ARYZ, Richard Schmid and my teachers Jordi Díaz and Alba Fabre.
