"I can not remember a time when I was not interested in painting, but I took it more serious at the age of 13 when I went from door to door to ask painters to teach me what they knew. At that time, I thought they knew a lot. I thought art was among the hardest domains a person could approach. Soon, I realised it is so much about passion and feelings that is becoming a natural state of mind as long as you let your heart pour into it. I learned as much as I could and hopefully, I will never miss a chance to keep learning new techniques. At the age of 16, I sold my first painting and I have not stopped since then. I began to befriend a lot of artists and to be invited to exhibitions. At the age of 17, I had my debut exhibition. A few more followed and, along with them, articles, interviews, prizes...but most important..new experiences".
