О себе

Я с детства мечтал стать художником, рисовал, хотя и плохо, гипсовые головы и натюрморты, ходил по музеям, поступал в Художественный институт. И вот, когда я стал взрослым, выяснилось – что искусства больше нет и не будет, а то, что есть, связано с настоящим искусством лишь словами: выставка, галерея, музей и т.д. Вывеска та же, но, когда входишь, становится страшно: обманули, это совсем не то, хотя и похоже, как газовая камера на душевую. И все-таки иногда кажется, что что-то ещё может получиться, если постараться, если протянуть руку с кисточкой к холсту, несмотря на очевидную безнадежность такой попытки.
