E.S.: One of the main characters is «The Man Who Was Not». You don’t even give him a name. Does he still exist in our earthly reality or not?
A.K.: This question is asked to me by almost everyone who has read the book. Let everyone answer it themselves, because whatever the answer is, it doesn’t change anything.
E.S.: The first edition of the book is illustrated with your paintings of the Girl with the Moon Cat. Were they painted after the book was written, as illustrations for the text?
A.K.: No, both the Moon Cat and the Girl appeared earlier. I just wanted to paint something. I sat down at the canvas and saw the pictures I painted later.
E.S.: Did you study painting?
A.K.: No, but I believe that everyone knows to paint since childhood. Everyone paints differently, and that’s great. My paintings are purely intuitive painting, self-expression of the soul. There is no need to look for «correctness» in them, but they do have meaning. Many people told me that they had seen what I depicted in my paintings, and this once again confirms the existence of a certain Primary Source, Information Database or Another Reality, it doesn’t matter what they call it, but hypersensitive people living in the Earthly Reality can get there. Many famous artists, such as Salvador Dali, painted Another Reality.
E.S.: Do you like Salvador Dali?
A.K.: I feel some of his paintings. It’s difficult to explain and cannot be characterized by the word «like». I like individual paintings by many artists, but, as in the case with poets and writers, I cannot single out one of them as my favorite.
E.S.: Is «Playing Another Reality» just a story about the supernatural and our hidden capabilities or something more?
A.K.: This book makes everyone think. Who are we in this world? What are we doing here? Why did one come down here? What mark will one leave on Earth? And for those who have entered a dark period in life, the story, on the example of the main character, will help to realize that the Void is temporary, it can be overcome by being filled with Light.
E.S.: In conclusion of the interview, what would you like to wish our readers?
A.K.: To know themselves, find their own Path and follow It, giving Light, Good and Love into the world.
