øTheP: When did you first discover your creative talents?
GV: I have never discovered because it was always present.
øTheP: Who and/or what are some of your influences?
GV: It is the people which take influential.
Gestures, reactions, facial expressions, motivations, expression of feelings make me curious.
This teachs me to understand the otherness and often reflects myself.
That what I perceive with my eyes, shapes, colors, dimensions, architecture.

øTheP: How would you describe your art to someone who could not see/read it?
GV: Here I would like to recite Erica Van Noy – En Vie Magazine:
“Close your eyes, imagine in a realm where life floats, time seems to stand still and the care of the human world do not excist … provoking mood, symbolizing the emotions of humanity.
While the subjects emit femininity and grace, there is a story behind each portrait which intrigues the viewer.
The subjects are dancing seem through the water, giving the impression that you are glancing into the life of something magical “

I try not to give rise to time constraints. Then we can work relaxed.
øTheP: Which is your favorite piece you have created? and Why?

‘LIVING LIGHT’, my most recent work, which is a tribute to nature and corresponds to my fascination for evolution.
