“I thank NACC (National Council for Arts and Crafts) for giving me this support and encouraging me to show this exhibition today. My speech is a little simple and goes to young artists. Do not limit your body because it is a strong talent and where a good one can be revealed and said without even writing a word. Explore the different techniques that work for them that one day they will show their work as well,” Mr. Albert said.

Metabiel Henriette, a student from Lar school (SIAD) says that Mr. Albest’s work has helped him to get more inspiration for his essays that he does at school.
“These art forms show me that there are several methods of creating a work on art and it can also be transformed in different ways where it is not always just houses and sky but also abstract,” the young student explained.’LIFE Force’ is now open to the public during the day until September 15.
