My life was enlighten by some of the most unusual (and quite successfull) modern artists .
Of course ,Wim Delvoye, who use to be our landlord in his loft building here in Belgium in
Gent- Brugge left a big impression.I still remember this beautiful moments like this girl' asking him in a bar -"Who are you?" -"I am a mirror"-was his reply. No fancy cars, no luxuries apartments - just lots of smoke and "choco-milk" ; Maybe it's all changed now but that were times when we all (Me ,Sven,Lynn ,Tom and the rest of Larian of this pereiod - 8 years ago remember him).

But recently I find on the net works of another modern genius - Vladik Mamushev Monroe who I encounter in Moscow and had a joy to spend some time with.As far as I know he doesn't have a web site and probably doesn't know how to use computer.all his works not including a digital manipulation of any kind .All his works are scratched photos or showing artist himself, representing different characters using make up and fabulous costumes.That makes him so unlike others.Needles to say that Sir Elton John selected many of his works for his private collection.Vladik used to say -"When I was a little boy people were giving me flowers on the street.(His parents used to be local leaders of Communist Party)
