About
Fariel Shafee
I was born in South Asia, but I spent my life in many vibrant cultures. I lived in the UK for a while and then was also in Italy, where I seriously fell in love with art.
Later, I did my degrees in physics and math from the US. However, art remained a part of my life, and helped me cope with stress and pain.
I learned art mostly from museum visits and by browsing the net. Hopefully, with time, my skills will get better.
