What is the best thing that I love about my work? It is difficult to answer this question because if the question refers to my work as an artist (which I only practice as a passion and which does not yet allow me to live) then what I like most is the pleasure of escaping into the world of colours and each time diving into different and exciting colored worlds.

What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? Not having time to do more
When and where was I the happiest, in my work? I am very happy when I see people loving and appreciating what I do! So I get this pleasure every time I exhibit somewhere or people come to visit me where I work
