I grew up around artists at a time there was no internet 😅My father was an electromechanical engineer. One of my uncles was a fine artist of realism oil paintings, like portraits and landscapes, another uncle was a fine woodworker, and another was a poet, song and theatrical writer. That was my growing years before school.At the age of 6, I was wood carving, copying models my father designed of machines made with metal. I made those machines in wood in a way that it was hard to believe a six-year-old child made it. My uncle influenced my paintings by teaching me how to mix oil paintings, hot and cold colours, and different ways to blend the paint. I was so impressed at how he painted that I always tried to mimic his way.I also understand French plaster wood carving, upholstery, electric design and installation etc.I learned a bit about music as well, but my heart was with oil painting. Whilst growing up, I learned various skills as I was always ready to learn and improve at something I didn’t know. Even today, I’m still equally as eager to further my knowledge.
