Art advocate, why art is not toothpaste?

Author’s note: Please do not judge the writing style. This is not a report, neither a well planned post. It is a passionate speech.

Painting together

I want to share with you a nice experience. One lady approached me with an interesting inquiry. She asked if I could help her to paint a gift for her spouse. She had a particular painting in mind, which she wanted to copy. The painting had a particular texture and it was important to make a research of the suitable materials and techniques.

This article takes you to a trip from one European capital to another. Before moving to Copenhagen I used to live in Amsterdam – the most liberal city in the world. And now I came back to spend my Christmas holidays here.

In modern society due to open borders and opportunity of distant work people emerge themselves into nomad style of life. Probably in the nearest future an importance of…
