ART-to-wear / The name of my collection is quite self-explanatory.

- Yes, indeed.

In 2015, when I reactivated my adventure with painting, did it occur to me that it would turn into something more?

- Not. I believed in the power of intention, but I was driven by a love of pure art.

Is it true that in 2016 I painted my first mandala?

- Not. I painted my first mandalas and than made jewellery out of them when I was a teenager. And this year, the first mandala on canvas was created, the nucleus of the Mandalas to ENJOY painting series.

In 2018, when designing my first collection of silver jewellery, did I imagine that one day I would have my own brand?

- Not. It was just an interesting artistic challenge. Designing jewellery is a conscious process that requires meticulous planning. Intuitive painting on the contrary.

In 2019, when designing skirts for dancers who were to open my exhibition with an energetic Mandala Dance, did I have any thoughts that someday I will create the ART-to-wear collection?

- No, it was supposed to be a one-off event.

In 2020, when I acutely felt that my rushing train of creativity crashed with impetus against a pandemic wall, did I imagine that I would implement my bold, but only sprouting plans to create an original collection of luxury handbags with my mandalas?

- Yes. I am a completely incorrigible optimist. Despite numerous obstacles, restrictions and lockdowns, I started the production of luxurious, leather handbags, exactly as I dreamed it to be.

Can I find any pluses in a situation of closure, silence, no exhibitions, and cut off from the world?

- Yes, that's my nature. In my case, this drastic, unexpected change to my wide-ranging plans has, on the whole, done me good.

Is it true that in the years 2020 and 2021, when things died down a bit, there was more activity in my studio than before, but on the backstage?

- Yes, ineed. I found a few extra moments to refine my designs and create a new logo with a knot of luck. I was also able to create a series of vector graphics based on my mandalas. I postpone it in time for "eternal never" due to the complexity of this work and other priorities. And so, thanks to this extraordinary mobilization, the beautiful #helpingbycoloring project saw the daylight.

At the beginning of 2022, when all prototypes of my handbags successfully tested and it became clear that it was time to go out into the world with them, did I have a marketing plan ready?

- Not. I was devastated by the news from the east and I had no specific plan. I just knew I needed a website, but I had no idea how to go about it all.

So what happened that we are now talking on the pages of this beautiful site?

- It's simple - magic did it! But seriously, this mythical "driving force" is the mix of consistency, persistence, hard work, love for people and finding joy in what I do.

Is it true that the work on the online store has been going on for several months and have I received support in this difficult process?

- Yes. I was motivated and supported by wonderful people: family, friends and fans of my art. Including my own son, a young adept of arcane knowledge known as IT, who promised to help me at every stage of creating the store.

Currently, the website is ready and the shelves of the online Concept Store are full of luxury goods, do I have any more plans and dreams to fulfill?

- Haha, yes of course! I never stop dreaming, and this is what I want to share with the world: good intentions and an unwavering belief that anything is possible. My biggest dream is that my mandalas will be available in all corners of the globe, and their message will reach all the people who need it most. I'm sure that life will verify my plans, but one thing is certain - the best is yet to come.

Thank you.

- I thank you.
