Elena Garstea
Thematic description of projects:
It is always difficult for me to answer the question - why do you do this, what do you want to say this ..... I never think about it when I work, I do exactly how I feel. I compose my compositions as poems, and sometimes I also compose short three or four verses for my compositions, as a title, I generally like to experiment. And the main thing in them is an attitude, a mood, as in music or poetry. In general, I have been composing and I have loved this since childhood, as well as observing people, features, animals, nature in general.I like to see the clouds move, how beautiful afternoon shadows fall, how objects are reflected; all these are my luggage. We are constantly learning from nature, we are not only her children, but also her students.
