MOTTO: “AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF YOUR WORK HAS BRING AN ADD-ON… WELL – THEN IT’S ART!”
This year I will “celebrate” 28 years working in the area of safety railway systems. My job is to bring people home ALIVE – with trains.
I consider myself a lucky person because my job is like a hobby – I love it.
This job require strictness. You cannot play here, you must respect the rules and ensure that all your team respect them. So I need a “contra-weight” - another hobby to balance this strictness. Drawing / painting has became, in time, a suitable option.
In a certain moment of my life I discovered GIMP and, through it, the world of digital art. All I am doing is DIGITAL. Today I am using 3 main tools: ArtRage, Inkscape and GIMP. Recently, I also start using Luminar.
I don’t know if I am an artist. I just know that when I start to work on something I do it because I feel a NEED to do it. You can call it INSPIRATION. But it is like a NEED.
I am an autodidact (self-educated) in this field – I try to learn from what the modern media put it on my disposal (lessons, trainings, tutorials on internet or e-books).
I have 7 personal rules that lead me – and not only while drawing:
Rule 1: HAVE FUN. I do things because I have fun...
