"Well done Ilia, you've always been an extraordinary person...original...just like your talent...keep being confident and determined and you will achieve all your goals."

“You are a GREAT and WONDERFUL person and you deserve only the best”

“...spectacular! I really love it... I'm happy for your success and I'm proud to say: I know Ilia. Never give up...”

"...congratulations, Ilia! You should be proud of what you've achieved, but above all, proud of your ART. In the end, you represent us all..."

"My friend, I'm proud of you!!! I love you, you're a special person, and I hope all your dreams come true."

"Well... pinch yourself because you've managed to make your lifelong dream come true... and in such a short time! Your empathy, your good spirit, your smile at life despite everything, your tenacity, have made you an artist at heart. And that's what sets you apart."

“YOU'RE GREAT”

“What a great achievement Ilia, I'm very happy for you. I hope you'll soon be able to dedicate yourself solely to your passion.”

“Don't give up, you have all my respect”

“You deserve everything you're getting because you're so good.”

“You deserve everything, everything, everything, and I hope you make the world a better place with your photos. I'm so, so, so happy for you... I swear, Ilia, I'm so moved.”

I had to sit down. You're better than a show!

“Thank you for yesterday, it was a really great experience… I was completely relaxed and even had fun. THANK YOU again. The photos are amazing, the more I look at them, the more impossible it seems, they are beautiful.”

“...beautiful...may your simplicity and humility always remain the same. Everything else will be great. A hug with love...”

“...honored to enjoy what you so generously share...”

"...your gentleness that emerges, emerging from your wounds and transforming into 'brushstrokes' that can only be loved...that's how I feel about you. Thank you for sharing..."

“...because with me the impossible becomes possible...”
