. When anybody ask me, what am I, I
answer: "I'm everything!".
I am an artist from USSR. Artist... What did it mean in USSR?
Only Union of
Artists USSR
member
. Who must paint pictures about great
and the best in the world communists party and USSR govement. Free artists were
out of law - they "did not work", so must go to prison! But it was a possibility
to be free. Soviet artists worked as the street-cleaners (job - 2 hours/day),
night security in places, where they may sleep, etc. They had that stamp for law
about employment and time to paint! So worked I too... And I did not work in
summer
- it was alowed to be unemployer about 6 monthes. Of course
,
it was not good for your
oldage pension. But have a look on our
russian pensions!
$100-200/month! :-c
And I was free in summers! I lived in a country, in a forest, in a temp near the
sea. And I travelled! May be I'll wright a book about that life. And I alredy
have paint about few handreds pictures about it. It's a pity - most of them were
selled and went to different places of the Earth... So - sorry, I do'nt sell my
pictures now. Low prices, you know...And to have a looke - You are welcome!
