WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF ARTISTIC ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED, AND FROM WHO?
“I’d say advice from my mom, she’s a piano teacher, and always told me to do what I really like and always take some distance from my work and to be interested by everything (not exclusively in art)! I had the chance to grow in an artistic family where creative projects were always encouraged. But I met a lot of really talented people and they gave me really interesting advice too—it’s impossible to choose!”
