Thank you for having this exciting contest. I'm a newcomer, and I'm excited to join different contests. I want to grow here in steemit and hoping to improve my potential. This time , I'm going to introduce to you my life through painting. Since I was 13 years old, I love basketball and my idol is Kobe Bryant. He inspired me and so the world. He was a great athlete, a superb example, and so a great artist. I gave my best in basketball, try to copy Kobe Bryant. But sometimes our dream is very far from reality. Even though I can't be Kobe, I continue playing basketball. Basketball is part of my life until now. It helps me to remain healthy physically, and mentally. I'm working in Japan since 2019. My contract is 2 years but it was extended because of coronavirus. As luck would have it, I still plays basketball in Japan. I'm playing basketball on Sunday and Tuesday. Basketball is my world till now, And that's my painting is all about.
