I started drawing at the age of 9. When I got older, I knew I needed a formal education in Arts in order to grow as an artist. It was a blessing when I met a friend who was visiting Cambodia from Italy. He knew where I wanted to go in life and pointed me to Brera Academy in Milan, Italy. On a full Scholarship, not speaking a word of Italian and a few English words, I quickly adapted and learned the Art of Italian. www.ranonphal.com
