STAR"TISTS SPRING FLOWERS ISSUE | Page 75

STAR: What other forms of creativity do you like?
MANASI. M: I love cooking and dancing! The latter, however, doesn’ t happen on a daily basis, but I try and cook on weekends whenever I have people over.
STAR: Any other advice for artists trying to get established?
MANASI. M: Don’ t over think anything. Go out and there and do it! And things will roll automatically. Most often I find the little things you do have the best outcome and so don’ t underestimate any opportunity that comes your way.
STAR: What is your favorite experience as an artist?
MANASI. M: The start of any painting is not the best for me, but after a few hours I really get into the groove and the paint all seems to come together like magic and that’ s a lovely moment when you see what you have imagined actually turning out the way you wanted it to.
STAR: What other things have inspired you?
MANASI. M: It’ s all from different and strange things I have seen while traveling.
STAR: What style of art would you classify your work? MANASI. M: I really don’ t know how to classify my work... I feel like I’ m still trying to find my own style.
STAR: Could you tell us some interesting facts about your life?
MANASI. M: I’ m professionally an architect, I have worked for a bit as one and want to do so again along with my art.
