00:00I
00:30I was in Ukraine when the war started in my country, and after 9 or 10 days since the beginning of the war, I decided to leave my country with my family.
00:43I was invited to Portugal by one of my collectors, collectors of my art.
00:49Art for me is like a breathing, it's something that I cannot stop to do, and when the war started, of course it reflected all the people around, but I had this feeling that I must continue, I want to continue to create my art, to share the beauty in this world.
01:09This is the beautiful garden. This is something that inspired me for my art, for my garden, in general, for all my pieces.
01:19As you can see here, the wonderful fountain and the view for basilica.
01:25I planted the flowers and taken care of the garden by my hands. Every day, already more than one year.
01:32This garden was inspired by basilica garden as well. You can see here the falcon as a symbol of defender of full harmony and peace and beauty in this garden.
01:48These blackbirds, you can often meet in my art. In Portuguese, this is melrus, if I say correct.
01:55This, for me, is a symbol of peace in Portugal. I found them only here.
