# Interview surrounded by the concept: World Excellence #
What is excellence to you?
Excellence for me is to get the right expression with an emotional touch. What that does matter is the combination of colors, composition and light.
What do you consider a runway to your success, i.e. what helped you “take off”?
A strong interest to develop my art is my runway to success. What helped me to take off was also other people that showed interest in my art that build me a strong confidence.
What do you consider growth?
Growth for me is a step by step progress that takes a lot of time. In discussion about art with other knowledgeable and getting that information.
What do you consider success?
Success for me is to get positive feedback from the viewers.
What do you consider uniqueness?
Uniqueness is related to success. It’s a wide concept since there are so many artforms and uniqueness is everywhere. Art has a big space for creativity. The possibilities are limitless. The unique thing with art is that you do your own interpretation of what you see. This is connected to your own experiences of the world around you and your imaginary abilities.
What is your favourite city and why?
I have traveled a lot in different parts of the world and experienced lots of different artforms in environments like architecture, sculpturing and performance art. The cities that speaks to me at most are the cities that have a big cultural capital. For example, my hometown Stockholm, Berlin and of course the birthplace of art which is Athens.
What is your wish for the planet we live?
My wish for the planet that we live in is that we live in environment friendly world with more art that is recycled and upcycled. And also to live in a creative world with curiosity and acceptance.
