Do you know our emotions have the power to shape most of our actions and activities in life? Have you realized the root of our perceptions and understanding of concepts and great thoughts is our sensation? What if I tell you some people have an incredible skill that drives others sensationally in an artistic context? Creative artists have the potential to create amazing, wonderful and astonishing worlds in our minds. Can you remember a book you have read or a narration you have heard which made lasting imagery memories in your mind? It is also not surprising to change your world temporarily or permanently when you have experienced moments triggered by creative artists. Ariam Weldeab is such an incredible artist of multitude talents.
