ABOUT ME:

• I am an artist – by profession and with my heart and soul.
  As a profession, I worked for over a decade in advertising.
  Any work that’s been attributed to being an artist in the industry I have done;
  visualizer, graphic designer, art director, final artist, digital imager
  – just to mention some of them.
  I’m working now as a freelancer, but not that much anymore.
  The artist inside me lost its’ appetite in advertising and longed for something
  more sensible… and so, I started this blog. 🙂

• I am fascinated by history, which added my love to travel,
  which compliments my enthusiasm for photography…
  and that’s just some of the things that completes my passion for life.

• I love the movies – the same way that I love the theater/Broadway musicals.
  Most of the top films on my list I have seen 3-5 times in the cinema
  before owning a DVD copy.
  And I believe that Julia Roberts and I are one. Hahaha!

• A voracious reader, I probably have read more than a thousand stories.
  I consider books to be a prized possession so I own a lot of them.

• I love poetry. I know that somewhere inside me there’s a poet who resides.

• I could listen the whole day to Maria Callas and… from time to time,
  would probably sing-along too. (Good thing you don’t live with me, eh?! :))
  And I like Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 to be my life’s music theme.

• I sometimes wonder why most people crave for something sweet.
  I’m not fond of them and I don’t eat chocolates or cakes.
  Well, I guess that’s just me. 😉
