    Oscar Joya is a Chicago based artist. Born in Lilongwe Malawi, he was exposed to drawing a very, very early age. An eventual move to the United States stimulated and fueled his artistic activity. He went to an arts magnet high school, and studied art in college, focusing on the human form. For certain, he has learned to rules of painting and drawing.

My conversation with artist Frederick Nitsch.
