“I wanted to be more experienced, so I was interested in pursuing artworks and creations of important plastic artists, as I was following a lot of educational pages on the Internet and YouTube, and so with practice, art has become part of my life,” she added.

Portraits are the most common subjects that attract Ivonne, as well as landscapes, noting that most topics that she loves are drawing details of tired faces, especially the elderly, perhaps because they show the suffering of the whole life and every face is a novel and a story for her, as she said

“I have a lot to learn and try, I have a very big ambition and I hope to reach professionalism and have my own studio.” She concluded.
