My name is Dima Gapeev and I want to help. Not because it’ll help me, but because I see a solution that will fix many problems in the world around me, I simply can’t sit by and watch it not come to fruition.
I believe in change and the common good and everyday people. I support small businesses, attend local events, and give what little money I have to people who need it more. I’ve gone through the struggles and can empathize with those beyond my complexion and background.
I’m ready to make a change.
I am a digital artist i create all kinds of art and drawings for display, my art is mostly in landscape and portraits in touch with imaginative and conceptual visual works.
