Somewhere around the age of three, when I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, the invariable answer was – an artist. I can’t describe the feelings. For me, art has always, and in every society, been the main driver for development. Unfortunately, this seems to be forgotten today and the results are visible. – I have no such thing as favorite subjects, I paint what amazes, surprises, and captivates me, trying to convey the same emotions and feelings I have experienced observing – the inner and the outer world. Each artist is largely identified with what they are presenting, although it may be a stolen moment or a feeling of another person. My technique is not particularly unusual, it is what you express that is important to me, not how you do it. But art is not hard to make anywhere. What is intended by it and whether the expected material results are satisfying is another matter. The role of inspiration is huge, not just in art but in everything else one does.
