We are friends (friends )
I want to mention one very important trait or quality of his personality and creativity.
Damir - the artist . Mean, he constantly artist !
Once it was fine, now meets once per thousand.
Most of the artists ' works by artists " and dreams of finally becoming a sort of official or businessman and wear an expensive suit .
Strange , but the widespread phenomenon , but on this in another topic .
So Damir Muratov of those units. He not only engaged in the art , creates installations , art objects , paints , etc. It creates an artistic environment. It Homo Ludens found its perfect embodiment . It creates an atmosphere of joyful spontaneous creativity : a fun , playful , laid-back .
Here is his studio in Omsk.
