Do you have clearly defined creative assumptions or is there anything that limits you as a painter?

I think that the people who bother me the most are the ones who are bothered by the fact that I constantly want to develop artistically, gain knowledge in various fields, constantly learn. This is a current trend that promotes "self-taught people" in everything who "know everything because they derive from their own interior", but no one realizes that they will not draw water from an empty well if there is no water in it beforehand. Most people think that if someone has more than one diploma, it is snobbery, which I find strange because my father, who was a scientist, always told me that a person must learn throughout life, learn everything and from everyone because you never know what may be useful in life or even save it. My father, a history enthusiast, always gave me an example of people who survived World War II in a German death camp only because they knew how to play instruments because the Germans were organizing a show and needed musicians. My motto is simple, if you can learn from a shoemaker how to repair shoes, you will not hesitate and do it. If you can learn to give injections from a nurse, don't hesitate and do it. Don't be afraid of physical work, it is not a disgrace, lack of knowledge is not a reason for shame, but a reason for shame is when you can learn but you reject it and stigmatize those who want to do it.
