Carlos, The Creative Soul, 2026

Age 10

Clay and acrylic on wood base

‘This is my portrait of Carlos Moises Pacheco, who is my parents’ friend and an artist. Carlos loved drawing and creating doodles, and I think his artwork is very interesting and inspiring. I decided to make his portrait from clay because I wanted to try something different and challenge myself. I carefully shaped his face and added lots of details. Some parts were difficult, but I really enjoyed working with clay and had lots of fun making his portrait.’

Carlos, An Spiorad Cruthaitheach, 2026

Aois 10

Cré agus aicrileach ar chlár adhmaid

‘Seo portráid de Carlos Moises Pacheco, cara le mo thuismitheoirí agus ealaíontóir freisin. Is breá le Carlos a bheith ag tarraingt pictiúr agus breacphictiúr, agus sílim go bhfuil a shaothar ealaíne an-spéisiúil agus gur ábhar spreagtha é. Chinn mé an phortráid seo a dhéanamh as cré de bhrí go raibh fonn orm triail a bhaint as rud éigin difriúil agus dúshlán a shárú. Mhúnlaigh mé a aghaidh go cúramach agus chruthaigh mé go leor sonraí. Bhí sé deacair codanna áirithe a chruthú ach bhain mé taitneamh as a bheith ag obair le cré agus bhain mé an-spraoi as an bportráid seo a chruthú.’
