For the past 9 years I have worked as an Art teacher in a primary school. All these years I have been trying to be both: an Art teacher and an artist at the same time. But I could not succeed in both. I have had a great success as a teacher: Recognized by Microsoft as a 1st Innovative teacher in Europe and 2nd in the World on the Microsoft Partners in Learning European and Global Forum in 2012. I was awarded by Microsoft - 1st prize for Teacher Expert on a Microsoft PIL Global Forum in 2014. 
If I carry on being a teacher in the forthcoming years for me art will be dead for good. This is because I will share my Art knowledge with others but I will not create art.
On this video I present my first moment when I realized that art is dead for me. I do not want that to happen. This video is reminder for me to change something.
