1. What gives you the most joy in terms of art ?
Admiring the great artworks give me joy. That's a weirdly sublime feeling. I believe that an art can give you that feeling of the core of your heart being touched with much clarity than words. It is like getting to know a bit of that artist's soul conveyed amazingly with the colors, shades and strokes.
2. Whose work has influenced you most?
I am a big fan of Leonid Afremov. I like his painting, Mysterious Rain Princess. For why is it inspiring - it just conveys a multitude of emotions. The lonely street and the light autumn rain, the atmosphere only say that the person enjoying it is how hopelessly romantic yet lonely. The elegance and grace being excuded by the figure really makes her look like a princess. She being a mystical figure brings out the mysteriousness of the painting. Overall, it inspires me to paint with a truckload of emotions.
3. Among your works, which one is your favorite? Why?
Among my works, I like this painting I have recently done. I have named it "Forest Queen". I love it so much because whenever I look at it, I always feels like seeing a person so distant which once used to be me. It conveys my love for nature, my anxiety to try something new, the glistening of my eyes in every small happiness and the peace I acquire my even finding beauty in the ordinary.
4. What is the best thing about being an artist?
I once red it somewhere, "Frome healing, struggling, binding to liberating, there are so many facets of art". I felt it now when I started giving my paint brushes a important role in my life. So I believe, feeling that extension of imagination, that anxiety of color selection, that tug in the heart when someone correctly depict the message you wanted to convey and the time taken to give your imagination a shape, that's what the best thing about being an artist.
5. Anything you would like to say to the readers?
To paint is to show a bit of yourself. It is something that the dim and vivid strokes can explain better than words. You get to discover something settled deep inside you when you paint or admire art. I believe it is a way of connecting yourself to your inner soul and also a connection between people. Because it is one of those things I love doing. So try to never lose hold of your hobbies for they give a pace to your emotions and also creates a balance.
