“As for the feeling as a finalist I can’t say I feel different as from the day before. I am still the same –

happy and blessed, but now I feel more special to be recognised as a winner. Now I know all things I

am doing is for “real” and I have more power now to keep going and fight for all that I love. My life is

about lots of work that I love with all my heart, with lots of hard but interesting moments. It’s about the

creation of new companies and giving life to new technologies and ideas. It’s about flower and design

creations and it’s always about love and searching for harmony. As in the saying; “Agapi den mh

exw, ouden eimi” (and if I don’t have love, I am nothing). So let’s never forget what our life is

for…love.” Olesya Nikolskaya winner.
