On the plein air (2019) Painting by Olga Sto

Years of study: what are the most vivid memories from different periods of study? (For example, important events or meetings that were particularly reflected in the future).

I would like to highlight the time of studying at the art school-the most peaceful time, when I was busy only with creativity and study, no rush. There was no need to think about survival.

Other cities and hometown-comparison: what can other cities offer (travel, study) and what is important about your hometown?

Of course, you need to expand your horizons, and travel-travel as well. sitting in yourself, you can "get moldy" and start to rot. Ventilation is necessary! It is especially useful to communicate with people from other "beds".

The search in creativity, the search in life-where do they lead? (About what experience you got and how it was reflected in your life later). A philosophical and rather personal question-answer how it will turn out.

No need to look for anything - everything will come by itself and at the right time. Live, go to work, enjoy, draw.

What ideas or thoughts do you usually put into your work? (If you look at your works from above, understand what they say, what they reflect). That is, it is, you can say, an introspection of your creativity, the way you see it yourself.

I don't put any ideas, goals, or intentions in. I just do, train my kung fu: today I will paint with this old bristly brush; and today it would be good to take this cardboard, because it is waiting for it; it's time to spend some cobalt to do this; oh, and I forgot that I have a new pastel-I need to update it, and so on. often " inspiration comes from the material.
