After inspiring professional experiences, years filled with intensive travels around the world, meeting many talented creators, I decided to leave my corporate life, move to the other side of the world, slow down and focus on my private life. I decided to follow my heart and return to art. In 2010, for personal reasons, I moved to Los Angeles and focused there on painting and working on a series of botanical paintings surrounded by exotic greenery and colors of sunny California. At the same time, shortly after moving, I had to redefine my life and career in a completely different direction, because destiny wrote a different scenario of my life than anyone could have expected, directing my paths back to my homeland.
