Photo session from Sylvia in Blossom. September, 2019

Image
Every year our wonderful Sylvia arranges a photo shoot for us and it’s wonderful because we have photographs that capture the moments of our lives. Children grow up, as we get older, but the memory remains and I have the opportunity to share our memory with you. We used to print out our photos and put them in albums. In Odesa, which is difficult for us to get to now, many similar albums are stored. And the ability to store memory in phones or a computer provides an excellent opportunity not to forget about our wonderful life before this damned war. Фотосесія від Сільвії у Блоссомі.   Вересень, 2019 Щороку наша чудова Сільвія влаштовує для нас фотосесію і це чудово, тому що у нас зберігаються фотографії, які знімають миті нашого життя. Діти підростають, ми стаємо старшими, а пам’ять залишається і я маю нагоду ділитися з вами нашою пам’яттю. Раніше ми друкували наші фото і розташовували їх в альбомах. В Одесі, куди зараз потрапити для нас складно, зберігатиметься багато подібних альбомів

September 2019. Shevchenko Park.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/461052681344642/posts/1522356518547581/ I found a photo from Shevchenko Park and tried to remember why we were there. I can’t say that we came for a walk in this beautiful park, but it was different. We brought Marcel to classes as a future model. It was our responsibility. While she was practicing the correct gait, Radu and I had the opportunity to walk around the park for an hour and watch the events taking place there. This time we got to a children’s song competition and of course, I couldn’t pass by and not capture what was happening. Вересень 2019 . Парк Шевченка. Знайшла фото з парку Шевченка та спробувала згадати, з якого приводу ми опинилися там. Я не можу сказати, що ми приходили погуляти до цього красивого парку, але це було іншим. Ми наводили Марсель на заняття як майбутню модель. Це був наш обов’язок. Поки вона відпрацьовувала правильну ходу ми з Раду протягом години мали можливість погуляти парком і поспостерігати за подіями, що там відбува

My dear Africans. Cape Town. August 2019.

Image
While we live our days in Odesa, our dear Africans live and study quietly in Cape Town. In those years, we still communicate with them via video conference, which very soon will practically disappear. We left Cape Town when Charlotte was 6 years old and Ben was 10. They needed us, but we couldn’t stay. Then it seemed to us that we were an obstacle to our daughter’s ability to arrange her personal life. But Rada still lives alone, I mean without a husband – she is a strong woman and does not want to tolerate unworthy men next to her. The most important thing is that she has children and is not lonely, and life in Cape Town is full of magic and joy. Мої дорогі африканці. Серпень 2019 року. Поки ми живемо в Одесі, наші африканці спокійно живуть і навчаються в Кейптауні. У ті роки ми ще спілкуємося з ними з відеозв’язку, що дуже скоро практично зійде нанівець. Ми поїхали з Кейптауна, коли нашій Шарлот було 6 років, а Бені 10. Ми були потрібні їм, але залишитися не змогли. Тоді нам здавалос

News from Limassol. January 2024.

https://youtu.be/iKtPTQy6q8o http://binovskaya.com/works-advertising-and-photos-of-my-vigorous-activity-for-half-a-year-at-redbubble-art-residence/ What I’m thinking about and trying to resolve this week. I think I can share my thoughts and actions with you. In 2016, I was in Australia as the winner of a competition from the Redbubble company. In half a year I wrote about 30 works there. Before leaving, I met the owner of the gallery in Melbourne, Elena, and considered it a very good chance to leave all my works in the gallery for sale and not take them out. I was hoping for long-term cooperation. 8 years have passed and during these years, as Elena says, not a single sale has happened. Now I am in a difficult situation, I live in immigration and I don’t know what will happen to me in the foreseeable future. I turned to my friends with a request to take all my work from Lena. But then difficulties began, and today she even allowed herself to yell at me. So we have some bad things going

Odesa in summer. 2019

Image
We have been living in Limassol for the second year now; we left on February 24, the first day the war began. For Radu and I, there are no problems with moving – we are used to it. We lived in South Africa for many years in a row, but leaving not of our own free will is scary. Every day I watch the news, and in the event of an air raid, I worry along with the heroes who did not leave our beautiful country. I pray that the city is not destroyed and I can’t imagine how terrible our Ukraine looks now. Some people believe in God, others in the devil, but I pray to the universe that peace will come and we can return. And with you, I share photographs I took in the summer of 2019, three years before the war! Одеса літня. 2019 Вже другий рік ми живемо в Лімассолі-виїхали 24 лютого, першого ж дня початку війни. Для нас із Радою не виникає проблем із переїздом- ми звикли. Багато років поспіль прожили у Південній Африці, але виїхати не з власної волі, це страшно. Щодня я дивлюся новини, у разі п

Krayan Plant. Odesa 2019.

Image
These notes from posts on FB have been preserved. “In Odessa there are these car repair workshops of Baron Ungern-Sternberg, the Krayan plant. For several years now they have been sawing them, breaking them and wanting to sell them, but at too high a price. And if they were given into private hands, it would turn out to be a wonderful modern space for the art and IT industry. From coworking spaces to galleries and residential lofts. In fact, I think there are many people interested in preserving this architectural monument. maybe the volunteer movement will grow from military to heritage preservation, and the development of modern urban art based on what already exists. This is one hell of a beautiful frame. Friends, try to spread the word, maybe something will grow from this idea.” Unfortunately, nothing came of this May 2023: The investigation accuses the mayor of Odessa Gennady Trukhanov and others of misappropriating more than 92 million UAH of the budget as a result of a scheme to
