Our Mission

 

We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents. 

The above is a famous mantra of Bob Ross, one of the most well respected art visionaries of our time. It is also our mantra here at Iliska.

People are afraid of art. Many never try, and those that do, give up quickly. People are scared of messing up and of making mistakes and of just not being good enough. It happens to kids. It happens to adults. But we are here to tell you that it doesn't matter whether you are six or sixty, you can be an artist. The art world is littered with late bloomers, people who started late and only made their mark on the world later still, many only after their deaths. But you need to start, and not give up. You need to stop hiding from your talents, and not let parts of your soul go unexplored.

Picture this - You wake up, from a dream in bed or a daydream in class, with your mind caressing a scene freshly sprung from the ether. And you rush to etch it onto paper, breathe new life into the world, only to realize you lack the skill. What you draw has traces of truth, but that scene is trapped in your mind, unable to be freed. Familiar?

Everyone has a vision. And everyone has a deep well overflowing with artistic talent hidden somewhere in their soul. We will help you find it. We will give you the tools to bring your vision to life.
