Mikhail Baranovskiy

As a person who professionally deals with words, at some moment I have realised that I want to express myself in some different ways. If I could play a saxophone, that would have solved a problem. But unfortunately don’t play a sax. In a relatively mature age I have braved to get into paints, brushes, and canvas. I realised that with the the help of those tools I can achieve pretty decent jazz sound without bothering my neighbours.
As I have not been able to exterminate my internal writer completely, author in me constantly competes with a painter. I’m trying to find an unexpected metaphor, create a joke, and tell a story without words.
