Interview with Anastasia from October 13, 2022 (trans. Inna Moroz)
─ Tell me where you're from and what you do.
"I'm Nastya, a tattoo artist, I live and work in Kyiv".
─ How did your story as an artist begin?
"Since I learned to hold a pencil in my hand. Then school exhibitions, art school, art institute..."
─ What do you usually draw on?
"It's been mostly ipad and human skin lately. Before, there were almost all surfaces that can be painted (walls, clothes, household items, confectionery)".
─ Is inspiration important to you, or is it redundant?
"Inspiration is important, of course, but it can take forever, so discipline is more important. Appetite comes while eating)".
─ What artists inspire you?
"https://instagram.com/rogowoiart He's cool".
─ How did you remember February 24, 2022?
"Night of the 24th. I dream that I am packing things into a shoulder bag and I am worried that there is nothing necessary (I remember that I put on huge camouflage pants). At five in the morning the phone rang. I pick up the phone. A friend's voice: "Get up, Kyiv is being bombed! The war has begun". I hung up the phone and went to sleep. I wake up at nine, pick up the phone and read a message from the client "apparently, the session is canceled"".
─ What exactly did the war change in your life?
"Understood how important it is to help people and draw what you want, not what you "need"".
─ What will you do when you hear the word "Victory!"?
"Uncorking a bottle of champagne".
─ If today you were offered to change one thing: anything, what exactly would you change?
"So that all warrussians would die".

Оригінал:
─ Розкажіть звідки ви, та чим займаєтесь.
"Я Настя, майстер тату, живу та працюю в Києві".
─ З чого почалася ваша історія митця?
"З того часу, як навчилася тримати олівець в руці. Потім шкільні виставки, школа мистецтв, художній інститут..."
─ На чому ви зазвичай малюєте?
"Останнім часом в основному це айпад та людська шкіра. Раніше були ледь не всі поверхні, які можна розмалювати (стіни, одяг, предмети побуту, кондитерські вироби)".
─ Чи важливо для вас натхнення, чи це зайве?
"Натхнення, звичайно, важливе, але його можна чекати вічність, тому більш важлива дисципліна. Апетит приходить під час їжі)".
─ Які митці вас надихають?
"https://instagram.com/rogowoiart Він крутий 😌".
─ Яким ви запам'ятали 24.02.2022?
"Ніч 24-го. Сниться мені як збираю речі в наплічник і матюкаюся від того, що нема нічого необхідного (пам‘ятаю, що клала величезні камуфляжні штани)
О п‘ятій ранку подзвонив телефон. Беру слухавку. Голос подружки: "Вставай, Київ бомблять! Війна почалася". Я поклала слухавку і лягла спати далі 😅
Просинаюся о дев‘ятій, беру телефон в руки і читаю повідомлення від клієнтки "мабуть, сеанс відміняється" 🤷🏼♀️".
─ Що саме війна змінила у вашому житті?
"Зрозуміла наскільки важливо допомагати людям та малювати те, що хочеться, а не те, що "потрібно"".
─ Що будете робити, коли почуєте слово "Перемога!"?
"Відкоркую пляшку шампанського 👌🏻".
─ Якщо б Вам запропонували змінити одну річ: будь-що, то що саме Ви б змінили?
"Щоб здохла вся русня".
