Reflections of Life

About the Book

Various roads brought people to the art and for most of us it was a difficult voyage. Only a very few blessed with a talent and a financial support professionals lived a live of an artist comfortably. That can be seeing through left behind paintings of well proportional figures and others realistic drawings. Others encourage and guided by parents they went through an art-schooling routings. Days-in and days-out practice turned them into self-pitying professionals. Only a few lived a live of a true-artist. There is an expression, “where is no pain, there is no gain” and how appropriate it is in description of the artist. Having a pain is unfortunate a small ingredient otherwise paint-dealers could work nearby dental clinics. The ability to comprehend and explain us the root of the pain as well as other emotions the way we are able to understand and share that experience has maybe the most important forte of the artist. Born in Russia but not Slovak, he inherited hundredths years old, countrywide anti-Semitism with a tragic outcome of his father was dying in his hands, mortally wounded by a policeman. That and others were sources of his pains and straggles. He wrote, “I had only two choices to roar like a wounded creature or start painting. I selected painting. A canvas was my best friend and never complained if my story was too long and I had to start it over and over again.”
