, studied threedimensional modeling and declared design talent, without any special education, he was able to prove to himself and others that a craft can be an art, and a hobby can become successful business project. His story began 3 years ago with a routine renovation in his own apartment. Arthur admits that he didnt want to get the result like in that joke, we dreamed of a hightech style, but the result was a hightech style. To prevent this from happening, arthur and his wife carefully thought out the entire interior in advance. After decorative work on the furniture and it turned out that what they both liked was either very expensive or simply not on sale, arthur decided to make the furniture himself, such is the design, a hanger instead of a wardrobe, that is, at first we wanted to make a large massive wardrobe, make something light and mobile that can be rearranged, put away, vacuumed, and we also saw the design there, it was in the loft style, probably at that time. Arthur was absolutely not familiar with carpentry, had no concepts about materials, tools, but thanks to the internet and the advice of several friends who had worked with wood for a long time, i boldly set to work a console, a bench for shoes, a cabinet for the bathroom, a large table for the living room, it withstood a lot, it even withstood coffee, vorshchi , soups, plasticines, paints, well, now it has lost a little of its glory, because, well, it needs to be updated. The array is better than good, lets say it has already become so unusable, well, frankly , lets say that it has already lost, you just take it, clean it, clean it all off, and it becomes as good as new, cover it again with oil and its possible, as if it just yesterday he came out, furnishing the entire apartment with stylish, comfortable furniture, arthur could not even imagine that the completion of the renovation was the beginning of a new stage in his life, there are not many items in the kitchen, but here. The most the main thing is that it later became my business, this is my very first painting, its like my first dollar, you know, its so wrinkled, all dirty, no no, well, that is, not perfect, sloppy, maybe somewhere , because i probably made all the mistakes that i could when creating this picture , but this is the very first picture, the most dear to my heart, after. Repairing and creating homemade furniture, there was a lot of material left, slats, boards, remains of wood, it was a pity you can just pick them up and throw them away. Arthur looked in i accidentally saw a geometric panel made of wooden planks on the internet and decided that this was exactly what i needed. Such a picture was supposed to be the final chord in the design of his newly renovated apartment. So, without knowledge and without experience, arthur set about creating a painting. It was a hacksaw, an ordinary one. It was even, one might say, an old soviet rusty one made from tulas, that is, it was absolutely handmade, straight up handmade, over time i still thought that, well, since im already doing this, since im already making furniture, then well, some kind of tool anyway i need to buy it there, i bought it for myself a circular saw, bought a grinding machine , well, this small manual one, which i bought a milling cutter, this is the minimum set that allowed me to somehow improve my level and my work. There was no talk of any workshop at that time, and professional tools appeared much later, so when arthur is sometimes told today that to open his own business he needs to complete his studies. He gives his own example, he says that the main thing is a strong desire, it didnt hurt me, because im very i really wanted it, i was burning with it, i wanted to do, do, absolute immersion, when i work, in the process i dont notice how much time has passed, that there i lowered my head in the morning, relatively speaking, raised it in the evening and didnt realize that it was already a whole day passed. Before fate in such an amazing way led him to carpentry, where our hero did not work, he mixed concrete at a construction site, unloaded cars, worked at a car wash, was an advertising manager at a radio station, and at the same time studied at a correspondence course at a university and studied 3d graphics. Arthur admits he was thrown from one sphere to another, because all this time he was looking for himself. Well, i couldnt even imagine what i wanted. In my childhood i wanted, well, in my youth, i wanted to become a musician, what less, i didnt agree , a famous rock star there, and i think that the fact that i found this thing, this painting, is a great success, really , because i might not have found it if some certain circumstances had not played out, maybe i still wouldnt have known, arthur began posting his first works on instagram, pretty soon my own audience appeared, i have never received a single negative response of any kind in these 3 years, you know, sometimes they write there, and you are like this, and you are like this, and this is so ugly, and ive never had this happen, can you imagine, if i had received my first negative response like this, in the comments or someone elses direct message, then it seems to me, it seems to me, it would have hit me very hard, in a very short time the audience. Arthur increased significantly, he does not believe in luck, or in provision, or in gifts from heaven, but he admits in an incredible way, as soon as he took up carpentry, as if fate itself decided to help him, precisely at the moment when he especially needed orders and support, instagram gives arthur a coupon for advertising. I launched advertising for all these 300 dollars, and you know, there was just a boom, because before that. The posts were collected here and there, well, there, well , 30 likes, there were 50, 60, 60, it seemed, wow, i guess im somehow successful, huh then i get 1,500 in just a few days, and there were a lot of requests, and this is just like that, as in modern language, it turned out to be a boost. They are ready to surprise and win, as the abbreviation gto stands for, denis , ready for work defense, representatives of this sport are called yachtsmen, what kind of sport, sailing, sailing, project participants will show their best qualities. This is the theorem, so called, the tangent theorem, that the tangent of a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of contact, i refused, no, and what about. Fighting for victory and the title of being the best, wait, what kind of geometric figure . Circle sign, geometric figure, circle sign, well, yes, einstein, einstein, yes, there is no other option, poor man, how much he did, also dynamite, watch the intellectually entertaining show, on the belarus 24 tv channel, we continue to talk about the cities of belarus. The starting point of our route, like most tourists, is the station square, the authors routes. Its hard to believe, but once upon a time there were ancient forests on this land, and here passed the largest trade route from varyak to the greeks. The most mysterious places. A unique timepiece in the heart of broadway. Initially there were no arrows on them. Later they appeared, but the clock did not show the correct time. Interesting myth. And legends say that here in the central square, under the asphalt , a unique paving stone has been preserved; it was brought here in soviet times from the krevsky castle, watch the program of the city of belarus on our tv channel. Arthur finds a room for a workshop. Special machines that they make it possible to make ideal blanks from wooden planks that are not always even, they try different paints, varnishes, impregnations, and spend hours in hardware stores. When you dont know what composition it is, you take it, think, well, its in the picture or in the colors, then in life it can turn out completely different, and of course, you make such mistakes, try it, see on your material how it will look, but in any case, what did not fit at some point, it will still be used later, then nothing will be lost, for arthur, everything really comes into play, not only the materials, the knowledge long ago acquired in 3d graphics turned out to be indispensable in carpentry. Customers, most of whom arthur works with remotely, send photos of finished or future interiors, and thanks to special programs, arthur is able to perfectly fit his paintings into interiors that he has never seen in person. You offer some option 1, 2, 3 , they tell you it seems beautiful, but you dont like something, it happens that once i had 25 different sketches, i made, that is man, he was looking, he was looking for exactly what would be his, what he would fall in love with, unconditionally, and we found, in the end, that is, for me, every client, he brought it, because i think , imagine, i once worked there somewhere, and now people come to me, they choose me to make this picture for them, and so on, how can i tell him that three or three attempts, and then money, otherwise it would be possible, customers who constantly interfere with the work of the master, but arthur a completely different approach, he loves caring clients who delve into, advise, choose, it is important for them to become a kind of coauthor of each project. Outwardly, arthur looks like a very calm person, but he sincerely worries about every project. Yes, i am very gentle with my customers, because i love them very much, i repeat, but in fact, as it turned out, i am a very emotional person. And ive already broken a few phones and a hammer and everything, but that mostly happens in the workshop. Looking at how cleverly arthur he manages the boards, how quickly he lays out the pattern, it may seem that this work is very simple, one day one of his colleagues said something similar to him, they say its a onetwo punch, its actually not so easy to fit all the sticks , all these rivers, to clean it all up, but the most important thing. Is not this, you can file it down, you can gain experience, the main thing is to come up with something, how to arrange the colors, how to arrange the pattern, this is also a lot of work and so on just copy, well, you can try, of course, copy there to do, but its not a fact that everything will be sold, people want their own, people want everything to be made specifically for them, so i had this happen once, yes, as you say, what should i do here, please take it, do it , but few do anything. Arthur admits that today he just needs to look at the sketch, and he already understands how many boards will go into the picture, at what height the peaks of future mountains or the center of the ornament will be located, but from time to time our hero tries to find a new format for his wooden panels. I often experiment a lot when i have i have some little free time, im trying, that is, to somehow implement my ideas, well, that is, they are absolutely different. And if i look, for example, i made it, it would be in my head, i really like it, but i post it on instagram and well , i just get that oh, its beautiful, its beautiful there, but i dont make anyone want to order her, and i understand that this was my lesson, which means people are not very interested in this, i dont want to be van gogh, you know, van gogh is a great artist, whose paintings are there millions, millions of dollars, but who sold one painting in his entire life, and lived , well, that is, he is a great artist, but i dont want to be ahead of my time, as he was ahead of his time, so no one understood him, he was unclaimed. When asked who he considers himself to be, an artist, a craftsman or a businessman, arthur replies i am a generalist, and this is what the time dictates. Today it is impossible to be one person, you need to combine qualities from completely different areas, then success will come to you. I might break it the stereotype is that. So you have one profession and you stay there, grow in your career, in your career and there you rise to some leadership position and thats it and you dont move anywhere, you ve chosen the path and suffer on it, as they say, and there you are it doesnt matter, that is, im breaking the stereotype that you can break your way and try to break through, dont go straight along the road, break a fence there, go there, and there turns out to be something new, Something Interesting that will fill your life with meaning. How often, when we become adults, do we we try ourselves in some new professions, activities, hobbies, we are often immersed in everyday routine life, go to a job we dont like, live in endless groundhog days, but we just need to try something different, especially if we go to a job we dont like, if you go, get up in the morning and just dont want to go anywhere, and want to stay at home, and maybe you even hate your job, then you definitely need to try, because life is short, its one, it seems to me that its very important do this, try to find yourself somewhere in something. What will give you this energy. And perhaps this is how a business will appear that brings pleasure, income, and selfrealization, as it happened in the life of artur lopitsky from gomel. There was joy in the fractions, in the past, in connection with the hour and the heat, simply respect, the skin day is formed from tradition, the fall, the year or the hundred years ago, everything that was considered old was almost new , we ourselves do not respect this, we pass on knowledge and experience directly , this is our smile, the wave of the hand, and such a familiar pose, with simple, happy moments are formed. We are trying to save our products. Thank you for our current day, belarus 24. Hello, we welcome everyone who is with us now, we are glad to have guests who are in our studio today, but lets start with, of course , nagornokarabakh, the situation around it, we see the aggravation that has happened now , a difficult situation, taking into account the fact that both states are not strangers to us, we , of course, perfectly understand that we need to make balanced assessments here and try to be as objective as possible, although when you analyze the facts, you understand that you understand that this could not have happened without external influence, that many people are rubbing their hands at this moment, and it is very difficult to maintain objectivity, nevertheless, we will try, nikolai evgenievich, in your opinion, this is the current aggravation, it what is it about, why does it lead to what, first of all, it is about the fact that no matter how funny it may sound, the stage of reconstruction of the world has entered. Into a hot phase, we talked about this about a month ago, that in the near future, literally , maybe, at that time, we said that in the coming months there would be escalation of conflicts in various points, and as an option it was mentioned, including nagornokarabakh, moldova, a number of other points, this is the reality of our forecasts at the moment, which means, as far as the situation is concerned, such conflicts playing for a long time, having deep historical roots , as you rightly said, require a balanced approach, in this situation, the governments of the states, both armenia and azerbaijan, are solving their problems, by the way, the liberation of Nagorno Karabakh is one of the strategic tasks written down in all documents of azerbaijan, namely liberation, they consider it from this country, as for armenia , she wanted to sit on two chairs today, unfortunately, today it does not happen like that, the phrase is a little pregnant, thats exactly how it turns out, with one on the other hand, from one platform it is stated that we are ready to recognize the independence of karabakh as part of azerbaijan. On the other hand, by all means, escalation occurs, escalation under the influence of external factors, in the general picture of the world, this is another point instability, which is used to resolve the contradiction between the leading states of the world, the tension is indeed visible even in yesterdays information flow, just a couple of headlines for those who are trying to restore the picture, first we heard that the Azerbaijani DefenseMinistry Announced the start of antiterrorist measures in karabakh, then pashinyan made an accusation saying that azerbaijan was trying to drag armenia into fullscale military action, then we saw that negotiations with macron pashinyan and blinkin were there, france demanded an emergency meeting of the un Security Council, the kremlin calls on yerevan and baku, yesterday we heard about this, to follow the previously signed trilateral document, well then we saw what was happening on the streets of armenia, protesters came out, and pashinyan himself said in an attempt at a coup, people are demanding pashinyans resignation, well, weve been watching all day today how, in general, the tension doesnt subside, alexey viktorovich, how do you look at all this, well, we need to understand here, firstly, that of course, inciting this conflict is one of the chains of confrontation between the west and russia, that is, the task of escalating along the russian border, all possible conflicts, it has been standing for a long time and the karabakh conflict is very convenient here, and we see that this is the current escalation occurred after armenia, led by such an openly prowestern president , decided to begin gradually distancing itself from participation in the csto from interaction with russia, as if showing that it does not currently have trust in the russian side as a peacemaker and guarantor of this at least some fragile peace and a whole series of such ambiguous steps taken by the armenian head of state, which led to the fact that there were actually maneuvers with the americans, which led to an active diplomatic picks, to the appearance of some heads of state in absolutely antirussian. Places, all this led to something, that is, there was a feeling that armenia was leaving this prorussian camp, falls outside the scope of russian guarantees, it is clear that the situation around nagornokarabakh itself is very difficult, its status , that is, the armenian side is there, we respect it very much, and these are also our friends and allies in the odb, the au, the cis, here, but in this case, the armenian side showed what my colleague correctly said, an attempt to sit on two chairs, and maybe even more, in this case, the very first step that could show the priorities of armenia itself would be their clear position in regarding nagornokarabakh or artsakh, as they call it, and this position was expressed by pashinyan and he was subjected to significant condemnation. In their society that nagornokarabakh, also known as artsakh, is an integral part of azerbaijan, that is, this was essentially the surrender of all the many years of struggle that the armenian people waged for the return of ethnic territories that are legally azerbaijani, the conflict is very complex, we dont want to get up now, this is the business of the armenian and azerbaijani people, we dont want to occupy no side, how can we objectively say that guys , lets sort it out among yourselves, that is, that for you the same nagornokarabakh region is the same, because when now there are attempts, firstly, to say that the csto is not working , russia is not working, how can it work if you yourself do not consider it possible to defend the territories, if Nikola Pashinyan says that there are no Armenian Forces at all in nagornokarabak
