– This is Samir Tetishko and his painting. I saw him for the first time about a month ago near the pedestrian bridge on Teatralna Square. He was painting the view, it was quite good. It was not very cold outside, so I did not pay particular attention to his worn clothes.
The second time I met him a week ago in the Shkolyaryk on Korzo, where he’d come to get warm. The shop assistants working there told me his life story. Samir is a half-orphan Roma. After Svalyava orphanage in the autumn he came to Uzhgorod, lives on the street and paints and sells pictures to buy food. He says he was sleeping on a bench on the embankment. Now, somebody has given him shelter. He asked me to buy paints for a picture and showed me a sketch. I gave him some money, but I was more concerned about his shabby clothes. The next day, I brought him a jacket, warm sweaters, a hat and mittens and advised to appeal to Myroslav Horvat in the municipal social security service.
Today, I met him again on Teatralna Square. He had already copied the sketch on canvas, the jacket and the scarf were stained with paints, and he hadn’t appealed to the social security service. The guy is talented, very kind, but completely helpless. If we do not take him from the street, he will be lost. Let’s give the talent a chance to survive.
