Still life with St. George Painting

Even before I learned to draw, I realized that I would be an artist. To be an artist means to have a special perception of the world, literary perception, where you perceive the world as a stage of a magical theater, on which a sacred action takes place, where the artist is a demiurge, and a person or thing is a symbol. For you, as a creator, there is no longer routine, beingness. I love philosophy, and I believe that reality can be infinitely different, and the artist combines these facets of the kaleidoscope into unique combinations. I am convinced that it is thinking that makes an artist an artist. Any technique can be mastered, this is a method, and intellectual rethinking of reality, plus the possession of various means of expression that the artist is able to pick up for intellectual content, gives rise to the ability to create a work of high-quality art.
