Ezequiel enjoys drawing and sees it contributing to his personal and professional development in several ways. Drawing helps improve his creativity and allows him to perceive the world from different perspectives. It also serves as an escape from reality and helps liberate unconscious thoughts. When drawing, he does not focus on outcomes, allowing him to be sincere and find self-expression. Ezequiel then presents three drawings that provide a critical and satirical view of the political situation in Venezuela. The drawings depict themes of corruption, repression, and Venezuela slowly opening its eyes to its situation. Drawing helps Ezequiel develop his values and vision for who he wants to become. It also aids in organizing his thoughts and evaluating options in an effective way

Impulses my
creativity
Escape from
reality
No desired
outcome
Creative drawing allows me to perceive the
world in different ways, find new patterns and
connect with others through a different
perspective.
Drawing also helps me escape from reality for
a few minutes. Sometimes detaching yourself
from the world is necessary to liberate
thoughts that are unconscious.
Whenever I draw, I have neither concerns nor
expectations towards the outcome, making
the activity completely sincere.
Being creative makes my personality shine and
shapes my identity.
Liberating thoughts helps me achieve my goals
more efficiently and lead me to new pathways.
It is way of finding and expressing myself
Since no specific result is demanded, I can
perform freely and it keeps me honest to
myself.

Activity: DRAWING
I began drawing when I was a child. I consider it a hobby. Throughout the years my drawing skills have improved,
inspiring and driving me to do it more often. There are many ways drawing helps my professional and personal
development as I intend to show you… It contributes to my personal development as it:

Inspiration: Banksy
The idea comes from the pictorial maxim “the three wise monkeys”. Together they embody the
Japanese proverbial principle; "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."
The Venezuelan Flag
The money represents
corruption, turning the
principle into an irony.
Following up, a series of 3 drawings will be presented as a way to explain in a critical and even satirical
manner the political situation in my country, Venezuela.
“See nothing, hear nothing, speak nothing”

Foundation of
Values
Organizing
Thoughts
Evaluating
Options
When I draw I try to send a message. This
message represents myself in some sort of
way. Through drawing I can stand for
something, for a cause.
Displaying thoughts, sending a message and
synthesizing ideas through an image is very
complicated. Sometimes one has to find the
right path to obtain the desired result.
When drawing, you need to choose the right
tools you are going to use (the style, form,
colors, etc.) to achieve the desired result.
Through drawing I can express my values and
what I stand for. It helps me realize who I want
to become and the role I would like to play
Thinking of the desired final result and
mapping out the resources needed for
achieving it, helps me understand how to use
my resources effectively.
Drawing also helps my professional development…
The complexity of this process requires
patience. Your mind must be organized and the
intention needs to be clear to achieve the
desired result.
