I remember that time I was so broke that I couldn't afford a canvas, then one evening I found this office desk in the street and decided to recycle and turn it into a unique piece of art. #theajlavillastory #cantstopthehustle #nevernotcreating #ArtRepreneur 📸 @istanza

Earlier this year I suffered from stress, depression, anxiety to finding happiness, self fulfillment and my purpose in life. After spending lots of time alone, dedicating countless hours of research day and night, I found myself in the midst of slow process honing my craft by creating and bringing what I had envisioned to life without formal art training. Thanks to YouTube, art museums and these books for helping me recover. Passion is important, blessed to have found mines. Salute if you're doing what you love and get paid at the same time. #ProtectYourDreamFoundation #TheAJLavillaStory

#TBT when my No°1 fan aka my lil sis came to visit me in the basement where I used to have my art studio which I got kicked out from wanted to take a flick before sending my paintings to London. 3 months later were both paintings were sold. Moral of the story is, don't let nobody stop you from creating. Protect your ideas, vision and your dreams. Idk what success means until I achieve it. Until then, all I know is hard work pays off ⛵️#dowhatyoulove #TheAJLavillaStory x #throwbackthursday
