Daria, can you tell us about your creative ritual?
I don't have a creative ritual, but I do have a little obsession...
I absolutely must do my paintings with the manicure done. It's very important because when you paint,
it's the first thing you see. For me, it's a bit of an obsession and a routine, so once a week, I have to do my manicure.
week, I have to do my nails.
Do you think the art world looks at women differently?
No, I don't think about that at all.
I think there's so much more to see than comparing, looking, who thinks what,
men, women, who's more important in this world.
If you could share a dinner with any artist (dead or alive),
who would it be and why?
I think that's a very easy question to answer. There are two artists I draw inspiration
from and adore, Monet and Joan Mitchell.
They're my two artists whose abstract, impressionist style I adore and whose colors
very important to me.

Do you have a superpower?
Not having a day off. In other words, to work non-stop, that's the superpower!
Because when your work becomes your pleasure, you don't look at the clock, you don't look at time.
and that's a superpower, I think.
Do you have any advice for the “you” of the past who's taken up painting?
Never give up and always go for it.
A quote you like to end with?
There isn't one in particular that I like, but Claude Monet's quotes are very close to my heart.
like the quote “I may perhaps to the flowers to have being a painter”.
