Art Chowder July | August 2016, Issue 4 | Page 47

Out of all the work you have created, which piece is your favorite? This is a hard question. It is like asking a mother who is her favorite child. I’d choose ‘Angel on Holiday’ an oil on canvas I completed in 2015. How long have you been creating art? I’m very passionate about painting and drawing and have been involved with both since childhood. I’ve always loved the experience of losing myself in thought and diving into the world of art and imagination. Does it matter to you what happens to your art after you sell it? Yes. I would like to see people enjoying my art, as much as I enjoyed creating it. Would you rather have a solo show or a group show? It doesn’t matter. I have been successful in both solo and group shows. They both work well. Do you have another job besides being an artist? No. “Each and every one of us loves to have a vacation. All of us like to relax somewhere, explore and visit new places. This piece features the subject of angels. Why shouldn’t they also have a rest? Yes, it is like a fairy tale. Your angel is very tired; day and night protecting you. In this piece, he has removed his wings, hung them up on a hook and he has left on leave. This time he doesn’t differ from the ordinary people, but can also take on an appearance of any small animal. He wanders in different cities, but through the dark glasses he still watches you. After all, he is your guardian angel, and he never forgets it, even on holidays. “ What is your greatest fear when showing your art to others? I have none. I’m confident in my art and I know that you can’t please everyone. Do you tell people that you are an artist upon introduction? There are a number of artist categories, including writing, painting, photography, performance, sculpture, music, calligraphy and dance. So I would tell people I’m a painter. July |August 2016 47
