Portrait
“Santa Claus brought me my first easel when I was 5 years old. I have always loved painting, however, there were periods in my life, when I had no time for my favorite hobby. I have never painted in order to sell the works. I always draw for the feeling of freedom I get from the process and, of course, for expressing my own emotions.”
