This is my entry for the Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 50 hosted by @pifc.
The rules of this challenge are very simple: Feature 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from Steemians with a reputation score of 55 or under.
This week I bring you another couple of artists from Venezuela: @heyjess and @the7thart.
Here's the preview of both featured posts:
#1 - @heyjess (52)
Jesber Chávez joined the Steem Network over a year ago, on March 2, 2018. He's a 22 year old artist from Venezuela and says he's a Lover of All Forms of Art.
@heyjess has publishing regularly and lately, he's been making a post in Spanish, and then again in English. So his profile may appeal to our Spanish speaking friends of @pifc, too.
The featured post belongs to a series @heyjess called "Drawing and Illustrating Famous" and now he brings us the portrait of the singer Rihanna:
In the post, @heyjess includes a short biography of Rihanna and the step by step progress to achieve his final work.
@heyjess seems to be focused on this platform and I'm sure he'll bring us some more great piece in the future.

#2 - @the7thart (55)
Andrea Morales is a 17 years old Artist, also from Venezuela, who has been blogging in the Steem Network since August 22, 2018. She uses this platform to showcase her artistic skills.
(Some of you might recognise her name, since she was featured in the @pifc contest last December by @seyiodus and also on my Art Curation Initiative #6.)
In the post I've selected from @the7thart she shows us a very vibrant and colourful painting on a cardboard.
@the7thart usually publishes two versions of her posts, so if you want to wait for the English version, I'm sure it will be up very soon.
@the7thart has a very interesting style and her pieces don't stick to a single theme. She varies quite a lot.

# Final Thoughts
At the time I'm writing this, both posts have little rewards, with $0.28 and $0.07, which is very, very low, seeing the effort, time and work both artists have put on these quality publications.
I believe @heyjess and @the7thart are very young but talented artists and I hope they can keep growing and evolving their talents using this platform.
I'd like to point out that the NTopaz project is exclusively dedicated to artists and their artworks and I believe you can take advantage of this, to increase your exposure on this platform. (You can use your STEEM keys to login at that site; Any post from NTopaz will be automatically visible in SteemIt.)
Please give them some love and support. Any help is appreciated.
