"Мама" Painting

Reflections on how our childhood dream forms the basis of life.
I will start my biography with a standard introduction: I was born on November 15, 1981 in the Rivne region, Sarny. I lived in a production settlement near Sarny, which was called Chemerne. My parents worked at the factory, so all my childhood I thought that I would also work there, like all the average residents of our settlement.
My path to creativity began in childhood. At home I was given a set for creativity: pencils, plasticine and paper. And I did it all day. Sometimes even showed master classes to friends;)
My graduation came in the "bad" 90's, when the main task of the people was one thing - to survive.
At the age of 17 I already had a passport, so I decided to go to the capital of Ukraine for a better life. After packing my bag, taking only 120 hryvnias at that time, I left. When looking for a job, at various construction sites. Good people suggested a place to gather craftsmen and other craftsmen in one of the squares of Kyiv and I went there, and there were two hundred of them (masters) who were also looking for work. One day, a man with a purse approached us and asked, “Which of you are painters? It is necessary to paint the facade of the castle. " Me and a few other people raised their hand…
That's how I got to my first job. A new stage of my life began with this work. I worked hard. When the masters rested for lunch, I looked at the facades of this castle, admiring them. And here marveling at beauty, I didn't notice how I repainted all facade in 12-14 hours. I still do not understand what magic attracted me and made me wake up only when the work was finished. In the morning, when my director and customer arrived, they saw the wall and could not believe it, the work of the front wall, in my opinion, was done perfectly. The customer was very surprised by my skill and creativity.
What was their surprise? The fact is that I did it quickly, but the design of the pilasters had to be fine-tuned. And I decided to paint them in the old style, without changing the color of the paint. Instead of a roller, I took a brush, which we primed and got the effect of "antiquity". The work went well and to my surprise life brings huge surprises! Later I had to scale, I wanted to create my own company, but I had no legal education. At this stage in my life, I decided to study while continuing to work.
