Jannat, 14, won the inaugural ArtSplash exhibition in Werribee on September 19.
The Tarneit teen won with her piece “Passion for Pain” in a field of five from across Melbourne.
The piece is about the pain and pieces that artists will put into their art.
“I was truly surprised when I won first place due to the fact there were other wonderful and amazing artworks,” Jannat said.
The piece is proof that inspiration can strike at any time.
“I was inspired by a flower I was researching for unrelated reasons, the Passiflora Caerulea, also known as the Blue Passion Flower.”
The event was run by Youth Projects.
“We wanted to be as inclusive as possible and Youth Projects even ran a training workshop so that young people who didn’t have access to a computer/art program were still able to learn a new skill and participate,” Youth Projects said.
ArtSplash was part of the Victorian Youth Fest and was open to anyone aged 12-25.
