Milestone Goals
Airbrush attempt
If this goal is met I will start getting prepared to try my hands at the airbrush. Its the only tool I haven't touched so far and I am curious as to how it will feel and what kind of results it would give.Especially on huge panels. I suspect it might be very exciting as well as very impresive as a result.
Entering my Dark World series
I will start getting involved to this dream of mine, a series that will be strictly in mature content and it will bind the erotic element under the fetish prism. This is gonna be a huge, time consuming project and if this goal is met its needless to say that I will upload such images on Patron's only feed.
About
I am a traditional artist with an affinity to portraits and a great love for strong, bright, vivid colors. The way i acknowledge the world around me inspires me to force reality one step further and this is ultimately the way i create my art. Its my personal vision that defines a specific point of view for me and it can only be viewed through the prism of the (unluckily) perfectionist i have to be.
In other words, I am your friendly, nerdy, crazy artist, next door. :D

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for visiting my Patreon page <3
I create Portraits (mostly) because I find it very exciting as a process to try and give my version of one's soul while using traditional media, such as color pencils, acrylics, watercolors, oils, pastels, graphite, over a variety of surfaces such as paper, canvas, wood panel, art board etc. All media and all surfaces are good for me as long as they give me the exact result I am looking for.
After all the years I have spent on similar (or friendly) to arts fields, where I have been an architectural lighting designer, interior designer, I have finally decided to surrender myself to my one and true love. Art.
My Art
Almost 3 years ago I lost a (very dear to me) member of my family. If you have been through this yourself then you must know how it feels. After all the years I have been using Art as a hobby, as a happy place to go and find solace and peace through the every day responsibilities, it was this moment where I realized that I would have (this time) to choose sides and if I couldn't beat death, I could at least make the rest of my life as happy as possible. Art was the one activity to make me feel complete as a person so this was it! I picked up the brushes and pencils for good. :)
During this time and up to now i have designed covers for Novels, LPs and CDs, wallpapers for movies, and countless commissions (yes....portrait commissions :D )
Why Patreon?
Since I have created a profile to social media I have received a great amount of love from all of you, mostly through out my DeviantArt page http://xrls.deviantart.com/ and my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Christina-Papagian...
Lately though it became clear to me (and most probably to you too) that I could not fit my art as daily work AND replying to all messages on my profiles, into my every day activities.
And with that being said, here is where you and I together will create a platform where we can interact through out the Patron's activity feed, on a regular daily basis.
You will finally find the opportunity to support me in a way that it exceeds verbal communication and I will finally in my turn get the chance to reward you with something that you can ultimately touch,see and feel and add to your Art collection. <3
I have a great vision for my Art in the future and it includes everyone's support , this will be an amazing journey for me and I would be more than happy to have you all join and witness!
