What is it about your studio space that inspires you?

I have Internet addiction)))I need my computer on hand and access to intrenet. If we talk about what inspires me in my studio, not about inspiring in life)

What sounds, scents and sights do you encounter while in your studio?

Smell of acrylic paint, of course. And I love to listen music while working

What themes do you pursue?

I'm interested in architecture, both classic and industrial. Abandoned objects, ruins ... I often work with this

What advice has had the biggest impact on your career?

One of my friends once said to me: do not try to catch up passing train, just make your own

If you could install your art absolutely anywhere, where would that be?

I would like to install my art in the old Gothic church

If you weren´t an artist, what would you be doing?

Now I can not imagine me someone else, not an artist. This is not only a profession, but just part of me

What are your favourite places besides your studio?

I love traveling and discovering new places .... each discovery becomes for a while the most favorite ... and then I find new)
