A story about my painting created in 2016 in Melbourne. I’m not an artist – I just broadcast what the Universe sends me!   I don’t know how the idea of creating this artwork came about, it came to me from above and I’m scared. I am very afraid for our world. War came to Ukraine, merciless and bloodthirsty. My heart is torn to pieces, I don’t understand how this can all stop. I left all the paintings I painted at the Art Residence in Melbourne in the care of Elena Ryazanova, the owner of the Ryazanof Gallery. It seemed like a good opportunity to me at the time. 2016-2023. Not a single sale from the gallery. No comments. In 2022, I found myself forced to relocate to Cyprus due to the war in Ukraine. I paint terrible works, one of them, my PRAYER, is bought by Ann from the USA, through the Saatchi gallery. She managed to find me without the help of the gallery – this happens. She wants to buy my work “Save My World” with a pangolin. Work in Melbourne. I turn to Elena and she sends the wor

One of the final adventures of my stay in Cape Town was a visit to one of the many wine farms in Cape Town. My daughter Rada invited me to go there with her since her old friend Lana had started working there. This farm was bought, as they say, by rich Ukrainians. Rich, but in my opinion, lacking in taste. Unfortunately, this often happens when people burst into an environment created over centuries by creative Cape Townians, an environment where there is a stunning mixture of African and European spirits, who bring into it their own ideas that have not survived but have been imposed on them by “fashionable architects and designers.” It is sad. After lunch, we went to the house that was provided to them, with the rent paid of course by their employers, and ended the day with a wonderful party. Unfortunately, there is only one photo of their house left in my collection. Винна ферма. Винний

Photo session for the Rada. Cape Town, 2019.

I don’t pretend to be professional in photography, but I take pictures with great pleasure and you are witnesses of this. If it weren’t for my passion for photography, or perhaps most likely the desire to capture the moments of life, then there would be no stories and memories of mine. It’s strange to me that people often write that they don’t want their photos to be used by anyone without their permission, but I would be glad if my photos were useful to someone. So, my daughter Rada loves me to take pictures of her, and we took more than one photoshoot with her. Фотосесія для Ради. Кейптаун, 2019 року .   Я не претендую на професіоналізм у фотографії, але знімаю із величезним задоволенням, і ви свідки тому. Якби не моє захоплення фотографією, а може бути швидше за все бажанням знімати миті життя, то не було б жодних моїх історій та спогадів. Мені дивно, що люди, часто пишуть про те, що вони не бажають того, щоб їхні фото ким або використовувалися без їхнього дозволу, а я була б рада,

And I was on the other side of the world, and those months that were spring in the Northern Hemisphere were autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. I just now thought that I should remind you of this. Yes, it was autumn in Cape Town and it was a wonderful time. I really love this time, when everything around me begins to bloom and fill with greenery. Realizing that I would soon have to return, I tried my best to absorb the beauty and uniqueness of this southernmost point of the African continent. And today I will share with you a photo of one of the sunsets on the Nordok beach! Catch it! Захід сонця над Атлантикою. Кейптаун, 2019 року. Описуючи цю поїздку, я завжди в назвах писала Весна -2019 року. А знаходилася я на іншому кінці світу і ті місяці, які в Північній півкулі були весняними, у Південній півкулі були восени. Я тільки з
