Hand-fox (2010) Painting by Yulia Luchkina

If the parents are professional artists, you have to live in the world of art all your life long. But by the age of 15-17 you should position yourself and decide if you are artist or not.

I dried myself in some other fields and almost became a dentist, a lawyer, an English and Spanish translator , a manager… I entered universities, studied there for some time, then quitted.

It’s very important to take the place of your own in life, not to spoil other’s profession by yourself. I would hardly become a skillful doctor.

Quite recently I’ve graduated the Kuban State University, fine-art faculty. This 10-years period was, probably, the challenge. I just wanted to find out if I’ll be able to perfect myself and improve my skills in my activity. The activity that helps to live.

I have been in art all my life, and I did in it only what I wanted to do.

To create is the most powerful positive emotion for me now. I can hardly compare it with any other ones, it seems I found myself and I love what I do much.

Everything goes away: friendship, love and so. But my work is always with me. And I can do it. Hard. Sincerely. From sunrise till sunset.
