1. When did you realize that you were an artist?
Like everyone else, school urges us to draw, to represent reality or to provoke it by dreaming with drawings or paintings or making and forming objects. Everyone is an artist or rather everyone wants to be one (those who don’t have not yet realised this). So [for me] there was no exact moment of realisation.
