For a child the conditions and time seem the only possibility, but now I recall the Estonian SSR of the seventies as quite foolish and false. Well, at places the same can be said to contemporary Estonia. OK, first three sentences already revealed that I am a whiner and pessimist, but not hopeless: a human being is generally capable for self-criticism and conscious development.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I was born in the cultural sixties. Parents, especially my father, who was a scenographer, encouraged me to make art; I graduated from Tallinn 24th Secondary School, but youth is naturally a crazy time and instead of further studies I found myself on the curvy and sometimes dark paths of rock music, mainly all over the Soviet Union. In nineties I returned to Estonia and started making jewellery. Due to the lack of the \u201cright\u201d education I used any tools, materials and techniques. A little later my interest concentrated on slightly larger objects, but not too large, as I am a bit lazy for dealing with them. And to prevent happy end of the story: recently I had a dream of a fearsome 3D printer!- In the book \u201cA-Gallery. Estonian art jewellery gallery for 20 years\u201d (2014)<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve been making watches for a long time, about 15 years. I am actually a tram electrician by training; I have not attended art university. I reaching this field via twisted paths. My father was the art director of the Estonia Theatre and tried to steer me, but I didn\u2019t take the bait while in high school. I wasn\u2019t interested, I did other things, such as rock music. But at some point, I became interested. I started off making small bracelets and other small items and it became my main activity over time. Once, a professional welder came into the gallery and said a piece was poorly welded; that it could be welded much better. Of course, he had no idea I had made the clocks.\u201d<span class=\"fontstyle0\"> \u2013 J\u00fcri Roosa at the A-Gallery exhibition\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/?p=3174\">MEMORY CARDS\u00a0<\/a>(2019)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32328,"template":"","class_list":["post-33567","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/33567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
