“An artist´s life.”
The stories of the people behind the art
#21 Tolik Bubutis

“Tolik Bubutis is a descendant of the Greeks!
My ancestors are Protagoras and Diogenes.

In 2010 I injured my spine and have been using a wheelchair ever since!
Unsuccessfully dived into the water and damaged the 5th-6th cervical vertebrae.
For half a year I lay in intensive care with an artificial respiration apparatus and practically learned to live again: breathe, sit, use my hands.
When they put me down, I lost consciousness / and was incredibly sick until I started exercising and leading a healthy lifestyle.

I am extremely interested in the world around me / therefore I am fond of photography and try to capture as much of what is happening and as perfect as possible.
I live for cinema and music.

I can’t even imagine being without music – music is always appropriate and always leads in the right direction.

Life embraced me and I accept it!
Together with all the trials on a not easy way!
The body is broken, the spirit and clear mind are not broken!
Way of the wanderer.

“The earth is round – the sun warms – the universe caresses.
You are unique!”

I live in Vyshgorod (near Kyiv) / Ukraine.
My town is over 1000 years old.
I love the sun and everything that it illuminates.

In this round of life in this body for 35 years.
I listen to the world around me and constantly dance – Mind and soul.
I am surrounded by amazing people. They are so strong that if we were given the opportunity, we would change the world.
It is the world that, in my opinion, has absolutely compromised itself.

War teaches! And teaches all the most important!
If earlier “to live for today” was considered recklessness and a frivolous approach to life, today it is the right decision once and for all – to live here and now! After all, you may not have tomorrow.
It is obvious.
You can change the world – your world!
Find the good in everything.
Grow plants.
Drink lots of water.
Do not be upset.
Know the measure.
Learn every day / learn all the time.
Smile and don’t be arrogant.
Do not lie or speak bad about people.
Do not put yourself above people and animals.
The animal is also you: do not eat your own kind.
Do not be arrogant and believe in the best!
Follow your dream – boundaries are arbitrary.
Forest is more important than asphalt.
The past does not exist – there is only here and now.
The earth is round – the sun warms – the universe caresses.
You are unique!”
