My love for creativity came when I was a kid. Reading children's books, I drew all the pictures of animals in my album. From school I still have diplomas and gratitude for participation in competitions, both local, district and regional. In most of them I won first place.

In 2017, after a long pause in drawing, I tried my hand at creating again. And it fascinated me. I took all the educational material from the Internet and You Tube. In 5 years I succeeded in a lot of graphics and it took a lot of effort. I drew portraits for a while. And even made it to order, but at some point I was no longer happy with it. Now I draw
pencil paintings on large sheets 120x84cm. I work diligently on every detail. I am a big fan of detail. I spend almost all my free time creating.

At the same time, I'm also beginning to learn how to paint in oil. This is much more difficult, especially if you do it remotely, through a laptop screen. But I am already making great progress, which I am very happy about. In the future oil will be my main tool in my art. But I won't forget about my favorite graphics, which started it all.
