"Namely — the movement that led me to do what I am doing and developing now — the genre
of Gonzo art. As a youngster who had just crossed the threshold of adulthood and gained
the opportunity to move independently around the world, while hitchhiking in Europe and hiking
long days in the mountains and forests, I read books by such masters of the pen as Jack
Kerouac and Hunter Thompson. What inspired me most about them was their courage to
throw themselves into unknown situations and convert it with incredible enthusiasm into
gorgeous manuscripts, often literally written on their knees in the thick of unimaginable
things. Apparently even then I registered deep in my subconscious, that eternal search for
drive and adventurism, and handover it through my art. Most of my pieces were created,
literally in the first hours, and sometimes during all those experiences described above,
under the influence of the first emotions and at the peak of hormones after all. "
