My personal feeling is that the artist should transmit over the media used, what he/she feels, the real, surreal, evident, visible or invisible forces that drive the impulse for doing artwork.
Limitations dictated by what is in fashion, could hinder the creativity. Original, unique art, usually is born form the interior, which is connected to the outer world. But not necessarily to copy what has been already done, as so many great artists had shown to us.
Freedom in art, is doing what our muse whispers to us, regardless the subjective opinion of others.

I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1948. My parents came from Ukraine.
I never studied visual arts formally, but my mother taught me some techniqus, and I followed later my own way experimenting with mixed media. At the same time, I begun at 4 playing piano "by ear".
I studied Chemistry, and worked in Scientific Research. the conditions were harsh, and soon I got ill by chronic intoxication, which left me with some healt troubles. I left the labs at 33.
I got involved in environmental movements, in groups in favor of better health conditions for workers, and local environment protection.
My english is elemental.I apologize for the mistakes

From the site I have at
"...I paint and draw since very young, and sometimes feel I am in a dream. When I close my eyes, many times I have extraordinary visions impossible to paint.
I do not care about what is in fashion but what comes to my mind and try to reproduce it...I like to experiment with different techniques and mediums. In the same day I have the need to do different things, so it seems that it is not the same person who is painting...
Dream and reality merge frequently "
