Allan Wallace recounts his experience visiting the Sistine Chapel with Global Discovery Program, 2016

Walking towards the door of Sistine Chapel felt like the end of a book for me. A new one began when I finally laid eyes on my greatest human inspiration in art. My heart was beating though my chest. It was so loud that my tour guide touched my arm and asked if I was OK. I wasn't OK.  I could hear my late grandfather saying to me with a smile.."You made it Chino"

Walking towards the door of Sistine Chapel felt like the end of a book for me. A new one began when I finally laid eyes on my greatest human inspiration in art. My heart was beating though my chest. It was so loud that my tour guide touched my arm and asked if I was OK. I wasn't OK.  I could hear my late grandfather saying to me with a smile "You made it Chino".

I remember him waking me up at 5am telling me when the great masters of art was on A&E. I also remember him standing over me at the age of 6 telling my mom that I draw from the Holy Bible like Michelangelo.  All of the books I've read; the movies or lessons about my favorite artist did not prepare my 37 year old mind for what I saw. I saw "The Hand Of God"; I saw purpose; I saw my pure mastery face to face. 

The D'Aguilar Art Foundation's  Global Discovery Program made this happen for me. I am very thankful and eternally grateful for such an opportunity. It was a need for me to be re-inspired but it was also an appointment with destiny. I can't wait to share with the world all that I have been given.
