The Masterpieces 2K17 Youth Art Competition People’s Choice Award has been announced with 14-year-old Ella Urielle Narido taking out the honours.
The annual competition showcases a collection of artworks exploring the current social perspectives of Mandurah’s creative youth community.
Ella created her piece 'Harmony' using watercolour with ink and said art has always been a passion of hers.
“Art has been my growing passion since I was little, starting art classes when I was seven and continuing my endeavours throughout my schooling," she said.
" Art has really helped me cope with difficult situations in my life, such as moving to Australia from Philippines in 2014.
"The artwork I have chosen to exhibit shows how most of our society has begun to accept others despite their differences in culture, religion and skin colour; or it can portray the strong, hard-working personalities of the young women of this generation.”
