YEHUALA, Icon Painter

My full name is Yehuala Mered Ayele. I am a 36 years old painter and artisan. As a painter I do traditional church paintings, portraits and other paintings of commercial value. As an artisan I do leather designs and commercial writings. I am single, and I enjoy spiritual service and playing string musical instruments.
I was accustomed to sketch derogatory or taboo pictures of the human organs on the blackboard to get class mates enjoyed and have fun with that. I have gradually inclined and get immersed with the love and intrinsic beauty of paintings.
I do what I do, firstly, it is because of natural inclination to paintings. For this reason I just terminated my job from Gondar Printing Enterprise. Secondly, it is my livelihood.
Thank you God, The Most High, when I was kid I was against to social norm; when I entered adolescence I began digging the secret of art, now adult, I peacefully sip the benefit of what was referred to "taboo".
