ABOUT ME

Ivana:
working in the field of fine arts, pedagogy and culture
mainly works with text
adores to travel

Vlad:
working in the field of film and video
books and writing
can cook
monogamist

sometimes people find me too much direct, sometimes stubborn, I believe in what I say (when I'm speaking about things that are deeply, passionatelly, intensivelly important to me), I can be indifferent for blablabla passing-time associations, too much open-hearted with inspiring people even if I just met them, have big faith in potential of human reasoning, deeply respectful for sincerity and honesty, sometimes in the mood for dance

PHILOSOPHY

Do not stop!

God, Mathematics or Hollywood

"People can do what they want, but not want what they want." A. Schopenhauer

Focus on your desires, not on the obstacles!
