Philip Roth

Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of American identity.

A big part of me is Estonia's magical nature that still keeps old fairy tales alive and people that are stubborn, innovative, and creative - all thanks to rather difficult history.
I grew up with a lot of books. Some of them were rare and expensive, so my parents prohibited me to touch them (also, just in case, to even look at them for very long), making sure I was curious and completely hooked on books from a very early age.

The base of my education is languages - which is more or less a given if one's native language is spoken by only about a million people.
I have always been somewhat fascinated by beliefs, mythology, magic, and superstitions, so I chose to learn sc

Drawing and imagination are part of being human and help us rediscover and maintain the courage and playfulness to live meaningful lives. Therefore, I have made it my mission to promote the field of visual practices and bring it to as many people as possible.

With visual facilitation, I help people regain faith in their creative abilities to be bold and playful (self) leaders and to bri
