About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to make on-the-spot decisions

ABOUT ME

I adore architecture (the subject of my studies) and that takes up the most of my time. Though, the workaholic part of architecture really makes me sick sometimes. And then I try to look at everything differently. Travelling is also a good way of seeing things differently, that's why I'm doing it!

PHILOSOPHY

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don't bother concealing your thievery - €celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: it's not where you take things from, it's where you take them to." JIM JARMUSCH
Loved the idea of putting everything that exists through your own way of understanding and showing it in another light. Love all cinematography actually, for it shows the existing world but does it from such angle that you might have never thought of.

Interests

My other interests include: French movies (for they're romantic), Italian cuisine (for it's delicious) and people from the southern Europe(for they're talkative, fun to be around and party with). I draw, mostly for my studies, but i enjoy it. Did some painting earlier. Sometimes play the piano - just for myself, not for the audience. I love dancing to loud music, partying, music festivals, canoeing trips, watching football, cinema, journalism. Oh, and travelling :)
