“I don’t know what to tell… I love art. I always wanted to paint, but I didn’t have time. About 7–8 years ago I tried rice paper, a Chinese brush, ink, and watercolor, and I was captivated forever by the Eastern style and by this particular technique based on Chinese “xi” and Japanese “sumi-e”. I want to master it thoroughly. For me, it is spiritual nourishment. “Other than that, I dream of traveling to see the world’s sights—and not only. I rarely manage to paint.
I don’t have time even now, because for several years I’ve been taking care of elderly, sick parents.”
