It is difficult to earn a living as a painter, so I combine my two passions, teaching road training with drawing, but for more than 10 years I have sold my first drawing.
Interview
Borja Andrea Soria Lahoz ,
Spanish Graphic Designer
By Azad Karimi
First of all, I should say that friendship is an opportunity and a good friend is a blessing. An acquaintance with Borja gave me these two. We take care of each other from afar. He was in Spain and I was in Iraqi Kurdistan and now, he is in Spain and I am in Norway.
And we are friends. Close friends.
I named him and his girlfriend Eva the lovebirds. Why???!!! This two lovers, are lover to kiss each other, but what kind of kiss? Guess!
French kiss!
Imagine two Spanish lovers, like two Australian lovebirds, having a strong emotional attachment to each other and kissing each other regularly like two French lovers!
My God, why hasn't the Big Bang come again?
I wish Borja more success and happiness in life, love, job and artistic projects.
Thank you!

- Please present yourself (Name, education, Civil status and ...)
.My name is Borja Andrea Soria Lahoz, I was born in 1987 in zaragoza spain where i living, I studied technological baccalaureate, I started a photography degree, I did a computer science degree, and finally I did examinations for driving teacher, which is my main profession which I combined with my artistic passion of which I’m learn by myself I’m autodidact. My civil status is single but I have Eva accompanying me for 7 years.
- What is your specialize?
.I mainly painted watercolours, I love the way and the technique of painting watercolours, although I have been with digital drawing for a while and I have been exploring that way of painting, being able to have all the brushes you want and all the colours you can imagine. Makes amazing, and the speed with which it can be painted, I love it.
- When and how did you become interested in this field of artistic work?
.I have always been interested in drawing since I was a child, all my books were full of drawings on the edges of each page, it has been something that has always accompanied me, in addition to being self-taught each drawing is an evolution of the previous one, I always learn something with each painting that I do.
- Who was your motivator?
.Who that love me, Eva, my brother, my parents, my friends and the people who are interested in my drawings.
- What was your parents' reaction?
They have always known about my artistic abilities, and they are very happy whenever I draw a picture.
- When started your work such as professional Graphic designer, painter, and artist?
.It is difficult to earn a living as a painter, so I combine my two passions, teaching road training with drawing, but for more than 10 years I have sold my first drawing. - Are you thankful and happy because of your activities as artist?
.Every time I finish a painting that I like, that I really see that I have given 100% of my potential in it, it gives me a lot of satisfaction and happiness. Of course I'm very critical of my work and they don't always turn out the way I want them to, but I start over from the beginning until it is perfect for me.
- How do you see the view about your art?
.The vast majority of people who require my artistic skills leave satisfied with the work done, a very small part is very demanding or asks for things that are frankly unattainable, but then in the same way another part in the end up becoming friends, and I keep in touch with them.
- Can you become one part of the cultural movement for motivation in youth or new generation in your country and so than?
.Both in my work as a teacher and as a painter, I try that with all young and not so young people, I encourage them to have an open mind, a critical spirit, not to join the majorities or the masses, and to learn with perspective to think for themselves and assess whether something is fair or unfair. And that they know how to be childish when someone needs help and to be respectful.
- How can you help our world to become a better place for living?
.I try to fill the world with colours, and through my drawings to perpetuate the beauty of the world that we human beings are, we all have the capacity to do good and I try to reflect that.
- Have you more word to say or suggestion for our readers?
.Just say thank you very much for this opportunity to make myself known to the world, and there is a phrase that I repeat a lot to motivate my students, yesterday is history, tomorrow is yet to come, the important thing is now, which is a gift because it is called present.
