As children, we all draw simple doodles, stick figures, and bright suns. For most people, that is where the creative journey ends. In my case, however, a single notebook page changed everything. One day, I filled it completely from both sides with funny faces, and not a single one repeated another. My mother looked at the drawings, and without a moment's hesitation, took me to art school.
After graduating from high school and art school, life took a different turn: I connected my profession with information technology and left drawing behind for several years. Yet, it is difficult to forget creativity completely. Gradually, step by step, overcoming doubts and the fear that nothing would work out, I returned to my paints. That is how watercolor entered my life.
Why watercolor? Despite its outward simplicity and inward complexity, watercolor to me is absolute magic. It possesses an amazing ability to awaken that exact fairy-tale, sincere feeling that comes straight from childhood. Every artwork is an opportunity to share warm memories, living emotions, and to awaken the imagination of anyone who looks at it.
