I have been interested in art ever since I was young. It has been always something, that I felt comfortable and confident with.

I have studied art over eleven years. In 2010 I graduated Viljandi Art School.
I am still taking traditional art classes. In addition, also studying graphic design, as it seems to me completely another form of art to express with. Although, graphic design supposed to be less emotional and should stay anonymous in artistic way, but to me it's fascinating how mixing styles can create something beautifully eye-catching, and at the same time have deeper meaning behind it.

I'm planning to continue studying art in the future, although I'm still deciding what exactly.

I have been completely dedicated to painting and constantly improving myself for the last three years. As my style has changed a lot over the time, I believe it's still in progress. I think it's a good thing, because I see no point doing the same looking paintings for years, constantly repeating myself.

I get the ideas from people and society around me. It's hard to say what exactly causes them, they just appear in my mind, and then have need to capture them, before they fade. I never think through colours before I start painting. I just start to paint and decide them on the spot. They mostly depend on my mood, so it's impossible for me to do a painting for more than one day, because then I just start again with completely different colours. I find that the most wonderful and personal thing about painting.
