Nazarau

I was born in Minsk in 2004.

I've been fond of drawing since childhood, and at the age of 12 I began to attend drawing classes with the artist Nina Margaeva. I watch a lot of movies and cartoons, and since the age of 14 I have been creating my own animations. My teachers are Maria Puchkova and Yulia Geisik.

At the age of 15, I had my first working experience as a volunteer in a summer camp for children with disabilities, organized by the Belarusian Children's Hospice. In the camp I happened to get an opportunity to photograph with a reflex camera. That was when I seriously took a fancy for photography and videography.

I believe that the birth of my sister with a severe disability was an important event that changed the course of my life. Probably, it's all about gaining an experience not everybody has in their lives.

I'd like to become a film and animation director in the future.
