This is my entry for the Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 56 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 want to present you with a couple of artists from Venezuela: @pecesitaaleja and @lionsaturbix.
Here's the preview of both featured posts:
#1 - @pecesitaaleja (36)
Alejandra joined the Steem Network 7 months ago, on September 22, 2018. She posted only 3 times... before disappearing until now. This week, @pecesitaaleja returned with a couple more posts and it looks like she's venturing into portrait paintings.
The featured post I picked is:
@pecesitaaleja was absent for a long time, but being from Venezuela, who can blame her? She probably had other priorities in her mind. Let's hope Alejandra sticks around this time.

#2 - @lionsaturbix (51)
Also from Venezuela, Leonardo Olivo is an artist who joined Steem on January 11, 2019 and he is a very regular and consistent blogger!
His works have a very clear and defined style, with a "cartoony" feel to them and @lionsaturbix's latest work is no exception:
@lionsaturbix is a good example of consistency... and that is why he got a reputation of 51 in just 4 months! I'm always happy to see a new work from him.

# Final Thoughts
At the time I'm writing this, both posts have little rewards, with $0.33 and $0.23, which is ridiculously low.
I think @pecesitaaleja and @lionsaturbix are very talented artists and I hope they can keep growing and evolving their talents using this platform. Seeing both of them are from Venezuela, maybe @lionsaturbix can help @pecesitaaleja with a few hints?
I'd like to point out that the NTopaz project is giving an awesome support to artists 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.
