CURRENT MISSION

Artist and fashion worker exploring the world and enjoing meeting new people

ABOUT ME

I always think positively) Optimism is a part of my everyday life and I always follow the saying: Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadow.
I like dreaming, or visualizing because I believe that it helps to make our dreams become real. I also believe that dreaming is nothing without action. Magic happens when you act, when every piece of you tries to make you closer to desired dream. That's what I'm trying to do - visualization and action)
Well, how I started travelling? ..I always need inspiration, so once I realized that one of the ways I can get it is travelling. It makes me feel overfilled with emotions, impressions, positiveness, ideas.. All these new experience comes into new paintings, new pages of my life, new attitude to many things. So, I feel alive in the great meaning of this word only when seeing and being charmed by the way this world goes by. That's how I like to learn what is life. When I change something in my life this changes me after. And I look at the same things with the eyes of another person.
I am a happy person. I do love my family, I do love my friends. In my life I've met so many great people, that I can'™t really understand how it happens that wherever I go I meet only creative, positive and open people: musicians, painters, artists, singers.. And you know, some of them I met only once, but I can say with a very confidents that they are part of my life now. It doesn'™t matter whether I know someone for a long time, or only one day if I feel that this person is my soul mate - it is the greatest feeling ever.. And it seems I know this person for ages. I believe that that nothing in happens "coincedentaly". Each meeting, each person is a gift (or a lesson) for us. I believe each person I've met was supposed to be in my life. Every meeting causes something – right or wrong. I tend to look at things from the philosophical point of view since it helps me to accept the life the way it is. What else about me? Maybe not such a big things, but it makes me myself..) I wake up sometimes at 4 am just to enjoy the sunrise because it is always charms me.... I love painting at nights.. I try to find beauty in simple things..I love walking round the streets when it's raining.. I love black and white photos because I think that sometimes colors distract us from seeing something more important.. I love horse riding..

PHILOSOPHY

One man said Life is something that everyone should experience at least once.. Since Life is only one it is important to do what I do love to do, what makes me feel satisfied, inspired because the most important thing for me is being in agreement and harmony with my feelings, desires and beliefs. I believe every action, every emotion we send to the world comes back, so people get what they deserved.
I tend not to spend time for things that I consider as things of second or third priority. For me time is a material to build the life I want it to be. Time is treasure that people spend ether for building lives.
