For many people, the Paint drawing software provided by Microsoft on Windows is just seen as a coloring software to kill time. However, for the 91-year-old Spanish woman below, Paint is a perfect tool to create extremely impressive and beautiful paintings, and at the same time proves that age and technology cannot be difficult for her.
Mrs. Concha and her husband.
Concha Garcia Zaera lives in Valencia, Spain, with her husband. Zaera was a painter when she was young and still has a passion for creating art. However, not long ago, she had to stop painting with her favorite oil paints because the chemical smell affected her husband's health.
Then, Ms. Zaera found a new creative tool to replace the oil paints she had been using before, which was the Paint painting software integrated into the Windows operating system.
Her family gave her an old computer, and since then she has spent a lot of time tinkering with Paint.
Four years ago, a granddaughter convinced her to create an Instagram account so that everyone could see her unique works. After just one year, the Instagram account quickly had 108K followers. And after four years, the number of followers exceeded 303K. To date, Mrs. Concha has up to 150 paintings posted on her personal Instagram.
“I don’t have a very imaginative mind, so I get inspiration from postcards my husband used to send me, or from drawings I find and love,” Ms. Concha shares.
In addition, her beautiful hometown of Valencia is also an endless source of inspiration for her works.
Of course, drawing a beautiful picture with Paint software is not easy, even for an artist like Mrs. Concha. She said it took her a long time to complete a picture with Paint, usually it took up to two weeks or even more than a month to complete.
To this day, Mrs. Concha modestly says that her paintings are simple things and she cannot understand why they get so much attention.
The colors in Concha's paintings are bright and full of positive energy.
In addition to surprising people by using an "old" application like Paint to draw pictures, Mr. Concha is also an example of the spirit of learning in old age. Mr. Concha has inspired many people, especially the elderly, to learn new skills to adapt to the development of technology.
