Susanna Chernobrova:

"The miracle happened during a dull painting class in my primary school: I glanced at a box of watercolors, and all of a sudden their names fascinated me. It sounded like poetry: blue cobalt, emerald green, burnt sienna… I felt a temptation to taste these bright little bars. That was how I fell ill with painting..."
