Toronto: Beauty of Kensington Market

Why I Created This Piece

What inspired me to create this piece is my love for unique art styles, considering that they reveal an aesthetic aspect of art. With this particular graffiti, I was intrigued by the vibrant colours and designs. From my perspective, it demonstrates a flower lady. The nature of the graffiti’s colours, designs, and overall theme makes me feel luxuriant and overall rejuvenated, like many places in Toronto! What astonishes me about art is its ability to influence one’s perception of life, which explains why I’m so intrigued by it. Needless to say, this photo was taken in Kensington Market, one of the most diverse and vigorous neighbourhoods in Toronto.

Hi, I'm Maryam and I'm a grade 11 student at Kipling Collegiate Institute. In my spare time, I like to take photos, paint, listen to music, exercise, stretch and spending time with loved ones. Needless to say, I hope to further advance my skills in photography and hopefully, become a personal photographer as a side gig job. This will be done through video tutorials, editing sites, courses, and most importantly, practice!
