Petro Smetana
While achieving certain success in an artist’s creativity, there arises a question: where and how to mowe, whether to use already found and worked out techniques of the artistic expression or to keep on searching. Aspiration for reaching new heights and constans creative unrest eventually leads to development. Petro is one of those who are always in such a search which, in its essence is the absorption of images, information and emotions. Reconsideration and reflection of his inner world calls for a need to come true, to arise personally.
