About calligraphy:

Calligraphy gives a strong creative impetus, a possibility to improve oneself and to develop, to make some headway. When I practice calligraphy I feel happy. I am interested not only in the result but also in the process. The process of writing for me is a sort of meditation, a possibility to feel harmony with the environment. Calligraphy brings joy from the time when you take a fountain pen or a brush into your hands. If I fail, I am pleased with the process itself; if I succeed, I am pleased with the process and the result.

I am convinced that calligraphy is necessary not only to each artist but to each human being. It helps people discover new abilities in themselves and teach them to see something new in the environment.
