1⃣I drew this picture a long time ago in 1997, at art school, when I was given the task of drawing a geometric composition on a free theme. I had the idea of drawing the picture spontaneously, without thinking or sketching.

I took a ruler and a pencil and in a few hours created this futuristic beast. I think this work became an experience of creative flow, an impulse, and once I immersed myself in it, the picture drew itself.

I think this work is the starting point of my love for geometric art and sacred geometry. Thank you, art school.💚🙏 I have been using this principle ever since. Creative freedom opens up a state of flow in me, and I create all my works in it.💫

2⃣Since my art school days, my favorite book has been The Graphic Work of M.C. Escher. I constantly revisited it. I was very inspired by the works of this artist-mathematician, and each time I felt a surge of creative energy, but I didn't know how to realize it.

3⃣After graduating from art school and regular school in 2002, I enrolled in the N.K. Roerich Art School. During my studies, I really enjoyed the subject “Decorative Composition.”
