1. What personality traits help an artist to pursue art, and what, on the contrary, hinder?

Self-examination and neurosis help. Idleness and idleness interfere. Sometimes it's the other way around.

2. What else do you like to do besides art?

Go by train and listen to music. This is how most works are invented. Even if I don't need to go anywhere, I sit down and ride — back and forth.

3. Was there a situation in your life that influenced creativity clearly positively or clearly negatively? Or has it radically changed your views on what you are doing?

 Everything happens smoothly and imperceptibly. Art is the fixator of those situations that affect me.

4. Who would you like to talk to from the personalities who have ever lived or are living now? Why with this person?

With Venedikt Erofeev — we would go on the train together. And also with Irwin Welch. It's a redneck and a genius rolled into one! I like this contrast.

5. How does your art change the world, the cultural component, you?

I lack the pathos to think about such things.

6. What do you think, what is the future of contemporary art?

Successful in terms of marketing and customer focus.

7. What do you think about the rapidly growing NFT? Are you planning to enter this niche?

I'm waiting for the moment, although it may never come. I’m getting used to the idea that art is a big lie. And NFT is more than art.

8. What is the most valuable thing for you: in the world, in life, in creativity?

Family and the ability to paint graffiti.
