∖ Where am I from and how does that affect my work?
I don’t want art to be judged by location, artist’s age, or gender. I want paintings to tell universal stories. And that doesn’t mean everyone will understand them. Paintings as stories must find their owners.

∖ What is my favorite medium?
It's watercolor. I like spontaneity and color transparency. I want to go beyond what watercolor can be. Each of us has tried watercolor painting as a child and has knowledge of its “possibilities”. I look at it differently. The painting created by the watercolor technique is not copied, it is unique in the literal sense of the word. Wet colors never work the same way.

∖ Where do I find inspiration?
• Strange behavior
• Stereotypes
• Insane coincidences
• Feelings and reactions
• Society norms & beliefs

∖ What motivates me to create?
The question of motivation is strange to me. The real motivation to create is an inner gift, it doesn’t need an artificial external launch. Motivation as action is the opposite of apathy, inner laziness, and endless reflections ... It is basically a call to action.
You either have it in you, or you do not.
