Welsh Artist Tom Griffiths 

“Berlin is the type of city that will welcome you with big giant arms if you are up to the challenge,” says Tom Griffiths, a 28-year-old artist. He has a strong Welch heritage but left Wales to escape the rural countryside. Griffiths  now works on showing his various art pieces in galleries around Berlin, England and Wales. In his studio, photographs, sketches and paint supplies cover desks and chairs. He admits it is difficult making ends meet as a young artist. “If you are not challenged in life, I don’t think you grow as a person,” he said.
