Your first name of Artek gives you self-assurance, independence, and confidence. As you are not demonstrative of your feelings, others know they can lean on you for support and protection. Those who know you best appreciate your loyalty and honesty. You are usually either telling or showing someone how to do something properly. The ability to be original and follow a line of thought through to a logical conclusion leads you to be creative and inventive along practical lines. You love to challenge the concepts of others, developing your own ideas and pioneering new lines of thought. Your strong characteristic of individuality qualifies you as a leader. Although your manner might conflict with others who are also strong-willed, you are seen as a leader and respected for your integrity and steadfast individuality. You have to be your own boss as it is most difficult for you to submit to direction from others. Although you are good-natured and never intend offence, still your blunt, direct, and candid manner of expression strains friendships; your honesty and sincerity earn respect from others.
