I have been drawing since my childhood: models in fanciful dresses, but mostly entire cities. By age nine, I knew exactly what I wanted to become in life: an architect! Then, by age fifteen, I listened to Chatchaturjan’s second symphony: my feelings were so intense that I immediately knew I HAD to become a musician. Composition never appeared into my fantasy world: I thought this was the privilege of musical “geniuses” and I did not consider myself being one.Throughout my adolescence, several teachers of different disciplines were trying to talk me into this or the other artistic profession. All had one common demand: absolute devotion. I followed that choosing piano performance and, over the next decades, I devoted myself to this art entirely. I was happy with my decision but not ENTIRELY happy to have chosen ONE-and, secretly, continued drawing…..The good thing about my choice: I learned to focus. This ability would prove to be priceless during my later artistic development. But-one day-something “exploded”: I allowed myself to study Fashion Design! What followed was a complete surprise: I started composing! And writing poetry….and paint!!Now, I finally recognize my “personal” truth: all of these talents go together; nothing works when I exclude the others. I feel free and happier than ever before….
