Как я стал художником

Every artist has had a dream they've put off until later. But reality doesn't change on its own—it only responds to action. In this video, I'm not showing the process of painting. It's a conversation about the artist's journey: about the oppressive environment, the need to earn a living, about clients who begin to shape your decisions, and the moment when you have to choose—to do things your way or to adapt. I'm telling you how I entered university against advice, how I navigated the period when commissions crowded out my creative work, and what decisions allowed me to gradually break free from my dependence on clients. Between a dream and its realization, there's always action. If an artist does nothing, reality, too, is inactive. In this video, I explore three barriers that almost every artist faces, and show how I overcame each of them through my own experience: 1. Inaction 2. Environmental influence 3.
