Creative project

I dedicate my life to creative thinking. This is what interests me, what moves me every day, and what I like to talk about. I believe in creativity as one of the most powerful tools to be happy, and the best way I can think of to improve the world in which we live. I believe that the future lies in innovation and ideas, and that our responsibility is to try to train young people in the freedom and flexibility of thought, away from conventionalism, dogmas and unique answers. I love working with students and to share my time with them. They have a huge potential energy, that is often suppressed, and together we manage to release it. I try to encourage them to continuously ask themselves a very simple question: "And why not?” The spaces of freedom we can give them now, may resonate with them throughout their lives. As for me, I am still learning everything and know little. I’ve been very fortunate to learn many things from different disciplines. Basically, everything is the same. And the root of everything that I've investigated is the energy in balance. Nothing exists without it. There are people and places that inspire me. And thanks to them, I walk this path that I don’t know where it leads me, but it is amazing fun.
