When and why did you start painting?
I started painting 3 years ago because I felt a great need to put creativity in my life. I discovered beautiful watercolors by various artists on Pinterest which made me want to get started. To push myself to paint regularly, I opened an Instagram account right away.
What inspires you?
Nature inspires me the most. I can’t stop myself from taking pictures of flowers or landscapes during my walks or travels.
What is your favorite painting technique?
I don’t know. I love to learn so all the techniques seem interesting to me. But I am rather meticulous and I like to paint regular shapes.
What are your experiences with social media?
I follow many artists on Instagram which allowed me to learn, progress and made me want to open my account where I exchange a lot.
I also watch some Youtube videos and I plan to create my channel soon. I also sometimes look for inspiration on Pinterest where you can find very pretty pictures.
Your favorite KUM brush?
I am in love with the memory point number 2. I also love the faded number 2.
Imagine you are Aladdin and you have three wishes:
- Peace, joy and health for everybody in the world.
- That spirituality, honesty takes precedence over money
- A last wish a little more selfish: to be able to live from my art while being free of my time and my place of work.
