Tag #116308 - Interview #78774 (Fania Brantsovskaya)

My grandfather was a painter. He was a very skilled and artistic painter. He made art paintings and exquisite Alfrei works [a technique of interior decoration and renovation]. He was believed to have been one of the best experts in his specialty. Many years after my grandfather perished a friend of mine told me that her father was one of my grandfather's best apprentices. My grandfather also completed the most important tasks during the renovation of the Vilnius University. A few years later, when he needed an eye surgery, he was taken to the university clinic where he had benefits as an employee of the university. I remember my mother and me visiting my grandfather in hospital where he proudly told other patients and doctors how smart and good I was being his older granddaughter.
