Limassol. Sale and new painting.

Image
We have good news! My first work with a leopard - “Wonderland” was sold!  Redbubble has woken up again - there is also a sale! They bought a handbag with my Australian work - a wonderful pond that I wrote about in my notes. https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/49172578 This week, despite the doctors' prescription, the doctors did not recommend me not to paint, I worked. I have long wanted to paint our flowerbed. It is, of course, unusual. There are no flowers that are common to flower beds on it, Radu planted aloe and three-banded sansevieria from a flowerpot that we got from the previous residents, that's the complicated name of this plant. And on the beach we picked up edible Carpobrotus! We know it from Cape Town, this plant blooms and it's not afraid of the Cyprus heat. And Radu organized the flower bed around a plant called Elephant's Foot, and I already told you about it. In spring, nature wakes up and everything is filled with moisture. But this period is very short...

March 2025, Limassol, DNK test.

http://binovskaya.com/friday-news-from-limassol-march-2025/ Hello everyone! We have the following news – spring is fighting winter. The weather is strange! A couple of days ago I opened the sea swimming season. The water was wonderful. But the weather has deteriorated greatly, and today we even had to bring the table at which we dine back into the room – it has become very cold, windy and raining. But this is not scary, on the contrary, it is good, since the Cypriot summer heat is simply unbearable. There is also interesting news. For the New Year, our Sylvia gave us gifts! She ordered DNA tests for us. We did the tests and sent them together to the destination. And here are the results. Before sending, I joked – “Now we will see who of us is more Jewish!” This did not happen, we are not Jews – Ukrainians, since the largest percentage of our DNA is Eastern Europe. And I have the largest percentage, almost 55! Radu has less – 52. But both he and I have a percentage of Greco-Albanian – R...

March 2025. Limassol. Santa Barbara Village.

Image
http://binovskaya.com/friday-news-march-2025-limassol-santa-barbara-village/ Friday has come, and there are a few less events in our lives, compared to last week. Spring is coming to the island and the days are getting warmer and warmer. Remember last spring I told you stories about how a turtle dove made a nest above our entrance? This year they returned and now they are located inside the hibiscus tree. At first, this worried me, because cats began to come and climb the tree. Now everything has calmed down and the process of hatching eggs has probably begun. After the opening of the exhibition, I had a surge of creative energy and I decided that the people who approached me with requests to fulfill an order for them were serious. It turned out that this is not so. But the situation reminded me of a story that happened a long time ago, when Radu and I just got married. I leave a link here, if you are curious, read the story to the end – to Frada “Radik – You are such a Whistler!” But ...

Opening of my solo exhibition. Limassol. March 2025

Image
Of course, I will tell you how it all happened. In 2019, I decided to end my exhibition activity. I was tired of it all. No matter how hard I tried, no matter how much I invested in the exhibitions that I organized in my two galleries over the years, the presentations were attended by invited people who thought that we needed their presence simply to meet them. We should have been happy that they visited us. And why are exhibitions held at all, have you ever thought about it? And the fact that in order to create a sufficient number of works, the artist spends money to support himself and his families. And the organization of presentations? When we had the Maritime Art Gallery at the Sea Port, it was a little easier for us and I managed to find sponsors, both for organizing presentations and for the accommodation of artists invited from other cities, for the delivery of their works from other cities. And in our small gallery “On Uyutnoy”. When did we not have all this? Respectable uncle...

2 МАР 2025 Binovska Gallery and Associazione CAVA FOREVER in PICTA 2025. Italy

Image
A few months ago, Giuseppe Bertilino contacted me through my gallery. He told me about his grand project and said that his association wanted to invite two Ukrainian artists to participate. Participation is free, a catalog is printed, and the artists must send their works both ways at their own expense. I, realizing that all our Ukrainian artists are currently living in extremely difficult conditions, decided not to contact them directly, but to put his request in the gallery feed and in the mystetska toloka group. Moreover, I did not yet understand the format of the event and the preferences of the organizers. A lot of work was underway, many artists responded, and many refused. But throughout the process, Giuseppe realized that inviting only two Ukrainian artists was not enough. So the organizers decided to also make a separate group exhibition for Ukraine. So, on February 28, the opening of the first main part of the project took place, in it, along with all the participants, Alexey...

Beautiful news from Sao Paolo, Brazil! February 2025

Багато років тому я підписала контракт із компанією Beauvo vivant, яка виготовляє чудові шарфи з натурального шовку у Бразилії у місті Сан Пауло! Наша співпраця триває вже багато років. І мені дуже подобаються їхні вироби! А сьогодні я отримала чудову новину, що недавно один із шарфів з моїми зебрами був проданий! Я щиро вдячна моїм бразильським друзям, адже що може бути приємніше художнику, як не продаж його мистецтва! https://beauvivant.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopsif1kVm6isc6cH_t7PHC1EFqYgzdaDYK_kV_vHdA7PemZlQR0 Many years ago I signed a contract with a company that makes beautiful scarves from natural silk in Brazil in the city of Sao Paulo! Our cooperation has been going on for many years. And I really like their products! And today I received wonderful news that recently one of the scarves with my zebras was sold! I am sincerely grateful to my Brazilian friends, because what could be more pleasant for an artist than selling his art!
