My name is Shahnaz. I am from Afghanistan. I am 29 years old and I came to Greece in the fall in 2018. I first arrived in Greece on the island of Lesvos. I’m with my son and husband but because we don’t have a home, we are not living together. I don’t have any relatives in Europe so I asked for asylum papers in Greece. I’m patient and I try to be strong in front of problems even though I’m an emotional person.

I didn’t paint in my home country. I went to a class in Lesvos and they helped me to learn. When I’m painting, it helps me calm. I went to school in Afghanistan until fifth grade. My dream is to continue my studied and to have a successful family.
