- OK, let's start again... The exhibition is entitled "Part-Time Artist".00:00:07.721
- 00:00:07.721
- The reason is that after finishing my studies I started working in a kindergarten00:00:13.154
- 00:00:13.154
- and I realized that I wasn't doing anything else than working with children in the kindergarten,00:00:21.735
- 00:00:21.735
- and that this is very often what artists do - work full-time in a completely different profession.00:00:30.990
- 00:00:30.990
- The exhibition is determined by the fact that I don't have much time outside of work,00:00:42.509
- 00:00:42.509
- so I tried to use the time I spent in the kindergarten to do art.00:00:52.281
- 00:00:52.281
- I started to work on a simple thing with the children - cutting out trees and making a forest.00:01:07.538
- 00:01:07.538
- So that's what we did for a long time during my working hours - cutting out trees.00:01:18.233
- 00:01:18.233
- The clouds are there because everything in the gallery is based on my everyday reality,00:01:26.115
- 00:01:26.115
- and that is also the interior of the kindergarten, which I decorated.00:01:37.322
- 00:01:37.322
- And the sky is there - in the kindergarten the whole interior is painted to look like the sky,00:01:41.451
- 00:01:41.451
- here I tried to make a version of the motives I used in the kindergarten.00:01:53.355
- 00:01:53.355
- The patterns are the same, and so is the colour.00:01:59.701
- 00:01:59.701
- And that is why the art, or my thesis, is placed in the bar -00:02:05.708
- 00:02:05.708
- which is generally a good place for pennants, and the rest is what I have done since then. I think.00:02:11.759
- 00:02:11.759
- - You can't do it like this... so artificial. - OK, go ahead.00:02:23.032
