Description
Ferdavs Amiri is 14 years old. He was born and raised in Afghanistan, went to school there for 7 years. Incessant military conflict, bombings in his hometown and a constant sense of danger forced his family to flee the country and seek refuge in Russia. So, a few years ago Ferdavs, his mother, younger brother and sister moved to Moscow. Two and a half years ago, the boy started drawing. Mostly portraits, landscapes, sometimes graphics. He works with pencils and paints, tries different techniques. He looks for inspiration in people around him and in the paintings of famous artists. Among refugees, there are a lot of talented and purposeful children who need to be given opportunities to learn and develop so that they do not stop dreaming and build their own future. *** Information for media: In order to access UNHCR multimedia materials (photos, videos, audio, and more), visit our media page - https://media.unhcr.org
