“As a child, I was not distinguished by a special talent for painting. I decided to enroll into the academy due to my fascination with computer graphics, as working in programs gave me a special pleasure. Then, I went on to study for a master’s degree in painting, thinking that painting would help me refine and improve my technique. For inspiration, I try to travel a lot, walk, take photos, and the impressions and emotions I get help me create works in the future.”
