Can you tell me about your background and how it influences your work?
In the past, like most, I studied at an art school and even before entering college, I had to study for another year because there was a big competition and I needed to improve my skills in the basics of drawing. Education helped me on my creative path, although personal growth, diligence, perseverance and active painting helped me more.
