My artist story began many years ago when I was three years old small kid. I had an accident and after that I began lose my hear. Most time I spent in the hospital and there my favourite job was painting fruits (specially apples) When I went to primary school I was small paintin champion. Other children hardly learn keep pencil in his hands when my pencil quickly travelled on the paper. But soon my arts fall down - I was bored and my interest went in other direction. I prefer rather playing football and read books. In the meantime my hear was worse and worse and finally quite spoil. Then I began use hearid-aid in order to I could hear well and talikng with other people. My favourite job then was photo. I did plenty pictures my cheapest photo-camera and sent them to various newspapers. Besides I like also playing the guitar.
But my real artis story began in 1991 year. Then I found employment in the factory where worked almost 500 women and girls. Fortunate or unfortunate I fall in love in one of these girls name Joanna. She was 19 years old and she had long blond hair. Most impressed was her large green eyes and profile alike to queen Nefretete. I dreams about her day and night but in spite of my crazy ideas and various experiments which I tried it was without effect.
My work was worse and I was very unhappy. Finally my love girl get married another boy and it was the end my dreams about love.
In order to I could forget about my hurt love story I returned to my
childhood passion. For the beginning I painted simply naive scene and also portraits my Joanny. Every my picture I brought to my factory and hang them on the walls and corridors. It was total cabaret. All society in this factory had been full fun. My employer was no glad because I did too much confusion. And one day I lose my job and went on the green grass. It was june 1993 year. This day I will be remember to end my life because then in my head shine my great idea. Kwadryzm.I hate my employers and I want change theirs heads on the square heads. I catch pencil in my hand and quickly began draw straight line.
With this lines I create heads,portraits,people and in this way birth
my painting style.Kwadryzm It was 10 year ago. From this time I did about 2000 pictures and I had been fifty exhibitions on whole world.
