Michal Rubin - Street artist
Michal is posing for me in front of her Whale artwork.
I met her a couple of minutes earlier and had asked her for a portrait. She wondered whether I photographed graffiti, too, and when I said I did, she suggested we'd walk to her mural. It was only a corner of a street away.
Michal, 31 y/o, started her art about five years earlier. If she could give an advice to her younger self she would say: "Don't be afraid to follow your dreams."
And yet, she has no regrets.
Michal loves colours in her artwork. Colours for her mean positiveness, optimism. She believes in looking at the positive side of every situation.
"Even if some of my work emerges from pain, I still look at it in a positive way. It is important to me to make good to the world."
Michal really liked the idea behind my photo project and was impressed that I've been doing it for the past decade.
"I think it's wonderful", she said.
She showed me on her smartphone a couple of her huge whale murals and indicated where I could find them.
It was easy to make photos of Michal, she was natural and when she saw the pictures she said: "I am glad I washed my hair today." :-)
This is my 712th submission to The Human Family group.
