This video presents in detail my high school art portfolio that was accepted to the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (French National School of Fine Arts), RISD (Rhode Island School of Design), and Pratt Institute in New York as well as being the artistic supplement to my college/university applications.

This is insane. Incredible work, what field of fine arts did you study? Simply – fine arts? Any specific branch? I don't think I will be able to add in so much different stuff. All I can do is line-art, comic-art, graphic-art, light-dark-contrast and that's it… I don't stand a chance dayum
Do you know where I can see more example accepted portfolios into ENSBA because online I've only seen a very small handful? This would be greatly appreciated. Really lovely work on your side too btw 🙂
Do you have to be 18 for taking the entrance exam ?❤
I read that you need to take the culture and analysis test.. i couldn't find examples is it filled with questions you have to answer or do you have to just talk about the topic and tell them what you know about art theories? Please tell me🙏🏽❤️
Do u speak any French? Is it possible to apply to Beaux de arts without being able to ?
There are so many accepted art portfolios on youtube, and I always wonder what the ultimate intention of the student will be (such as become an illustrator for example). Long ago I applied to RISD and Pratt, ended with Pratt BFA. Then took a summer scholarship to Skowhegan School (Maine), and then obtained MFA at Columbia Univ. I never specifically studied any job or career oriented course during those years. So my goal was strictly to develop as a so-called fine artist. I later did many odd jobs such as some illustration, printing commissioned silk screen prints, etc, and eventually made my living in graphic design. But that was just a job and secondary to my personal goals. Fine arts is extremely difficult to make any kind of living, but that is my skill and first love always. For me, I never wanted to do portraits or other types of commissions, and have always turned down such offers. I became financially successful through other means. I cannot complain about the tribulations of art since over time I was exhibited in many venues, have works in collections of "the rich and famous", famous actors and athletes, patrons, important collections, and an increasing number of museums. I am aware that some artists have stumbled upon unimaginable success, but I never like their art so I don't envy their success. It is not about money. My goal is really to have the works acquired by museums, even if I part with them without compensation. That's the life I wanted. Anyway, whatever YOUR goals are, we wish you well in achieving them.
i LOOVE your art! these all look so beautiful <3
it’s also rlly encouraging that you got accepted mostly bc of ur great skills rather than ur materials. i’m somebody who doesn’t have access to the best art supplies, but i love studying technicality, and i see that in ur art as well. u give me a lot of hope <3
Hi,
Okay so I have a question. I read about this entrance exam and I have some concern because photography is my thing and I saw it requires a drawing test??? What do people like photography students who don’t really know photography do?
What a balanced portfolio, I love every piece and the explanation behind the pieces. Hope your future is as bright as your portfolio
Such a cool channel and portfolio – you have what I can only describe as extreme talent. But I must say that for such an upbeat person your work is quite dark haha.
Thank you so much for sharing. You are so good at explaining your art works.
Je adore ton portfolio et tu es vraiment talentueux. J’éspere que un jour Je peux faire un portfolio aussi beau que le tien .
Hi! Can we put a religious piece in our portfolio ? That is in relation to our faith and not just Bible references ? Thank you so much
I love how you use color. It's really unique and beautiful, I rarely see young students really experiment with color like this, but I've always loved contrasting light with dark.
You're so beautiful 😍
I have a question ! I would also like to apply to an french art school and my french is mmmh not so well is it ok?

Your portfolio was amazing!! May I know that you had any copy artwork with them too or not?
Your portfolio is incredible!! Your pieces evoked many emotions in myself, and they were all so beautiful and well thought out. Amazing work!! It really inspired me. Thank you!

The large drawing (your strongest piece) was amazing and I am a professional painter.
One advice: Your voice is sometimes lower and sometimes very high pitched (which sounds fake), train your voice, believe me, it will change your life <3
Hello, thanks for the great and informative video! I was wondering how you gradually improved your knowledge and techniques for art. Did you take art classes, and what exercises/resources did you find useful?
hello, thanks for great informative video. i just want to ask a few questions:
1. How did you come up with these ideas, where did you take inspiration from?
2. what we need in a good portfolio?
3. can i prepare portfolios in 3 months for foundation programs, what are your recommendations for applying foundation programms?
4. Can we also show them our works that we did in our sketchbooks? should i go over the requirements when it comes to number of portfolios? should i submit as much as i want if they are so beautiful?
Thanks in advance…
I go to a STEM high school and am scared of my chances at an Art school, but I'm gonna try my best with applications and the portfolios! Also, what you described reminded me of my own OCD, which I also want to convey in my art. 🙂
your art is amazing
