When did you start to be interested in art? Why did you choose to draw?

I have been interesteed in art so long I can remember. My both parents and two uncles and a cousin were painters and I used to observe and imitate them. I didn't choose to draw but I painted in watercolours since having three years old. I ever could not see any other way of life.

Do you remember your first artwork, what was it like?

  I cannot remember my first artwork, but some of the earliest ones still exist. They are paintings, soft, dark and abstract ones. >>
