| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I wanted to feel free! and to inspire the world for to feel the spirituality behind the visible world.And to create something extraordinary,something which will make a contrast to the visible world,something to refresh people which they are tired from everyday reality. This way the glass serves me well. |
