Love of art - as a gift from God prompted me to became an artist. Art should carry joy, and inspire every day of every person.
Creative credo:"An artist throughout his life isn’t able to reflect everything that God has created in six days, therefore it’s necessary not to waste time and illustrate the most significant – what seen by heart".
Scientific credo: "Geniuses are born thanks to the deep strong faith and profound Bible knowledge, that arise the mind by its wisdom, which fills each one deeply with symbolical and at the same time clear word of Jesus Christ".
