Few months ago I entered an art competition “Breakthrough” from Richard Solomon Artists Representative. The contest was the first illustration competition that launched by an artist’s representative. With the help of 20 judges, all working industry pros, they judged 400 + entries from 15 + countries. Michal Dziekan, an amazing young illustrator from Poland won the competition and is going to be represented by the agent in the future.
I’m very honored to be featured in this spotlight from the Richard Solomon Breakthrough contest as one of the staff picks. Thank you Richard Solomon for an opportunity to display my art! This gives me lots of encouragement!!!
Richard Solomon: “Now that the Breakthrough Contest is over, we, the staff over at the Richard Solomon’s office, got a chance to sit down and look over all of the submissions from this year’s contest. We picked out those people that in our opinion also deserved a little spotlight even though they didn’t win. These artists are also among the highest scoring of the competition. They were chosen by Ana Gomez (graphic designer), Kofong Hsia (assistant), and Anastasiya Tarasenko (assistant) collectively.”
