Tatyana Binovskaya- artist

While we with George were going to a football match on Sunday, an araucaria tree was cut down next to our house. This came as a huge shock not only to me but also to my neighbors the crows and doves. Yes, of course, I myself thought that it grew at an angle and, looking at the angle of inclination, I thought that if it suddenly fell, it would definitely end up on our terrace. Recently, strong winds have been blowing, and there have also been two tornadoes, which was not the first time, and I can assume that the city authorities do not want to be held responsible for the damage that is possible after the fall, so they decided to cut it down. They cut it down, but not completely – the trunk remained, like a pillar. I’m very sorry, because this tree was a real home for birds, and now even the crows don’t come in the morning to say hello. But Radu and I go to the park next to our house and pick ripe lemons from the trees. I managed to convince him that there was no point in paying in euros...

When we are in Ukraine, we are drawn to South Africa, when in Cape Town, we want to go home. And nothing can be done about it, since we are already accustomed, as they say, to touring and our whole life is continuous flights. This year we did not fly to Cape Town, but photos of our loved ones and wonderful loved ones arrived. Our Rada celebrated its birthday in Kenya on a safari – it’s so wonderful when all the spoon employees gather and congratulate the birthday boy by singing my favorite song, which I even learned with my grandchildren – Jumbo – it means – Hello! А як інакше, коли ти живеш на два континенти? Коли ми в Україні, нас тягне до ПАР, коли в Кейптауні ми хочемо додому. І нічого тут не поробиш, бо ми вже звикли, як кажуть до гастролів, і все наше життя – суцільні перельоти. Цього року ми не полетіли до Кейптауна, але до нас прилетіли фото наших ул...

Brightly decorated shop windows and shops, the bustle and thoughts when buying gifts, the festive Christmas dinner itself, all this makes our life wonderful and unique. Especially with family! Передноворічний клопіт! 2019-2020 Незважаючи на відсутність снігу, в Одесі атмосфера свята відчувається скрізь. Яскраво прикрашені вітрини та магазини, суєта та роздуми при покупці подарунків, сама святкова різдвяна вечеря вечеря, все це робить наше життя прекрасним і неповторним. Особливо у родинному колі!

You know that our kindergartens are very, very different from kindergartens in other countries. Especially from South Africans. We work with our children, learn poems and songs, teach not only the alphabet and arithmetic but also dancing! Our Georgy is an introvert, he is shy and does not like to recite poetry, but here he went happy and open, probably he really liked his image – a real cucumber! Attending matinees is always a holiday for me, and what else can please us as much as children can! I share photos with you! Осіннє свято у дитячому садку у Георгія. Ви знаєте, що наші дитячі садки дуже, дуже відрізняються від дитячих садків інших країн. Особливо від південноафриканських. З нашими дітками займаються, розучують вірші та пісні, навчатимуть не лише абетки та арифметиці, а й танцям! Георгій у нас інтроверт, він сором’язливий і не любить декламувати вірші, але тут він розійшовся, ймовірно, йому дуже сподобався його образ – справжнього огірка! Відвідування ранків для мене це завжди ...

https://www.facebook.com/groups/461052681344642/posts/1537980953651804 What should I tell you? Especially now that I don’t know when I’ll be able to enjoy autumn in my hometown again. My soul hurts, it hurts because I can’t go back, it hurts from anxiety and fear of a future unknown to anyone. I understand that we are very lucky and have been living in safety for two years now, but what will happen to us tomorrow? There is no answer to this question. For now, all that remains is to publish photos and videos of your hometown and pray that it will survive. 2019. Осінь у Одесі. Аркадія. Що мені розповідати вам? Особливо зараз, коли я не знаю, коли зможу знову насолодитися восени в рідному місті. Душа болить, болить, бо не можу повернутися, болить від тривоги та страху перед невідомим нікому майбутньому. Розумію, що нам пощастило і ми вже другий рік живемо в безпеці, але що буде з нами завтра? На це запитання немає відповіді. Поки що залишається публікувати фото та відео рідного міста та м...

http://binovskaya.com/війна/ WAR A sad date – 2 years of war, 2 years of immigration, 2 years of hopeless melancholy and horror. I present my series of works from this period. How can painting a damn picture help the world? – this will help because art is a noble and necessary objection to all the sins of the world. When the world rushes towards us with all its flowing wounds – war, desire, need – do we close our eyes and recoil, do we sit and wring our hands in despair, do we run and hide or rush to it as we rush to a wounded child, holding out your hands? If we want to call ourselves artists, we must avoid the many excuses that come up and do our job. Yes, the world is sick, and yes, it can be cruel, but it would be much sicker and much more cruel if it were not for the artists, directors and songwriters – the creators of beauty – wading through the blood and dirt, while simultaneously reaching for the sky to lower the heavens yourself. These are dangerous and urgent times. Now is no...
