Rtistig NFT Auction, Singapore 7-10 April 2022

Image
https://art.rtistiq.com/en-us/artist/tatyana-binovskaya On April 7, the NFT Auction of the Singapore Art Platform was held, and Ukrainian artists soon took part. And it was surprising for all those from whom the works were purchased. Of course, it was nice and significantly distracted and entertained all of us in these troubled times. But to be honest, I still do not understand the point of this NFT. Currently, there are a huge number of scammers who do not hesitate to make money on poor artists who do not know the ways of shameless deception. But at that moment, maybe for the promotion and advertising of the new Art Platform, we really received fees. They bought a picture made in Photoshop from me for $ 500, and I am not ashamed to admit that I am not a big expert in Photoshop! At that time, it was very important and it was very nice to feel that someone needs you as an artist!

The first month of forced displacement. Limassol, March 2022

https://www.facebook.com/groups/461052681344642/posts/1696637124452852/ My fear, my pain.  At this time, having received the opportunity to work out of sight of the whole family, I began for the first time in my life to splash out my horror from what had happened to us. All my life, I tried to reflect the beauty of the life around me in my work and I did not recognize those artists who shared their grief and experiences. I was sure that having received a GIFT, artists should ease the hardships of people’s lives. But at that moment, I could not resist. I was not under fire, I did not see killed and wounded people, but I have an imagination and I was scared. I locked myself in a room, warned my loved ones and asked no one to come to me. I wrote my work “Pain”. After a while, it, among others, was presented at an exhibition in Bruges, where it is currently located. Перший місяць вимушеного переселення.

The first month of forced displacement. Market. Limassol. March, 2022

Image
Our patrons Chris and Katerina did not leave us alone with our grief. They tried to entertain us. Such entertainment was an invitation to visit the local market. By the way, I really love markets. As you remember, I have many videos and photos from the market in Cape Town, and our famous Privoz, how much it costs. I have been to the market in Mumbai and Melbourne. During the beginning of spring, the Limassol market looked, one might say, even completely unattractive. But our patrons were very, very kind to us and bought food for us and it was very touching. After visiting the market, they took us to a restaurant to feed us. We felt like victims and those who needed help and patronage, a very humiliating state. But that is what we were. Перший місяць на вимушеному переселенні. Ринок. Лімасол. Наші покровителі Кріс та Катерина не залишали нас на єдині зі своїм горем. Вони намагалися розважати нас. Такою розвагою стало запрошення на відвідування місцевого ринку. Я, до речі, дуже люблю рин...

March 2022. Our life in Pecora Court, Limassol.

Image
The first month of our life in Pecora Court, Limassol Everything is very gloomy. The yard is full of mutilated cats. Nearby is an abandoned yard of a former hotel. I walk the dog in the mornings. Radu and I were given a separate bedroom with a separate bathroom. The boys settled in the living room. I can work right in our room. Russians walk the streets. The mood is lousy. Somehow Sylvia managed to take several suitcases with things for the children out of Ukraine. And it was incredibly touching, I wanted to cry. And we cried almost every day anyway. Березень 2022 року. Наше життя в Пекора Корт, Лімасол. Перший місяць нашого життя в Пекора Корт. Все дуже похмуро. Двір забитий понівеченими котами. Поруч занедбаний двір колишнього готелю. Я вранці гуляю із собачкою. Нам із Раду виділили окрему спальню з окремою ванною кімнатою. Хлопчики влаштувалися у вітальні. Я можу працювати прямо у нашій кімнаті. Росіяни ходять вулицями. Настрій препаршивіший. Якимось чином Сільвії вдалося вивезти з ...

Limassol Zoo. March 20, 2022

Image
The first days of our new life in Limassol were very sad. My heart was breaking, my soul was aching. But how good it was that we were all together. And our Sylvia came up with different things so that we could feel like people. Through our Ukrainian volunteers, she found out that there would be a meeting of our compatriots at the Limassol Zoo and we decided to join. Of course, we walked again, but the zoo is only halfway to the Marina, which we had already walked to. We arrived on time, did not find anyone, although there were two women standing near the entrance, apparently the organizers of the meeting, but we were embarrassed to approach them. Maybe they had an agreement about a non-refundable visit to the zoo. We did not take advantage of this, but decided to go to the zoo anyway. I have seen many different zoos in the world, this one was nothing special. But we at least got a little distracted and just walked around. Thanks to our daughter for insisting on going for a walk.

First artwork of wartime. Limassol, 2022.

Image
As I already told you, now I have everything to start working. I really wasn’t used to living without creating new paintings. And for Sylvia and the children, the smell of paints in the apartment created an atmosphere of home. I painted my first works, small format, they were yellow and blue zebras and giraffes. We gave both of these works to our patron Chris as a token of gratitude. By the way, Chris is interested in art and has a collection. Even during our time in Ukraine, he bought works by our artists, including mine. 2022 Життя в імміграції. Перші роботи воєнного часу. Як я вам уже розповідала, тепер я мав усе, щоб почати роботу. Я справді не звикла жити без того, щоб створювати нові картини. Та й для Сільвії та дітей запах фарб у квартирі створював атмосферу будинку. Я написала свої перші роботи, невеликого формату, це були жовто-блакитні зебри та жирафи. Це обидві роботи, ми на знак подяки подарували нашому покровителю Крісу. До речі, Кріс цікавиться мистецтвом і має колекцію. ...

17 ОКТ 2024 October, 2024. Friday news from Limassol.

Image
Last week, all the inhabitants of the planet were shocked by incredible atmospheric phenomena. Hurricane Helen passed through 6 US states – North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia. 600 people were missing, more than 200 people were confirmed dead. This hurricane became the most destructive hurricane since Katrina. And then strange Aurora lights began to appear all over the world. For some reason, people are not worried about what is happening to our planet. The war that has come to us, the world brings suffering not only to people, but also to our planet and it warns us, warns that it is in pain. Warns and responds, you probably remember last year’s earthquake in Turkey that took the lives of more than 50 thousand people. Isn’t it time to stop and stop shaking our souls and the soul of our PLANET. I once had a vision – our blue Planet, covered with green plants, is floating in the universe and it is GOOD! It is good and comfortable because there are no ...

2022 March. War. Life in immigration. Exploring the surroundings of Limassol.

Image
https://www.facebook.com/groups/461052681344642/posts/1687354085381156/ In our first days and weeks of life in Limassol, we all walked a lot together, though without Kostya. We lived in the Dasoudi beach area and walked from there to the yacht club and part of the Limassol Marina promenade. Even little George tried. We walked this route up and down.  And Sylvia decided to please us and took us to a restaurant several times. It was strange for all of us. We could not yet get used to the fact that there was a war in our country, enemies were killing our compatriots, and we were sitting in a restaurant. We were all tormented by our conscience and a usual trip to a restaurant was not a joy. Sylvia tried to please us all and distract us from reality.  We found a small tavern on the embankment and tried Greek food for the first time. Marcel really liked the burgers there. Although I now understand that burgers have nothing to do with Greek cuisine. 2022 Березень. війна. Життя в іммі...

War. Life in immigration. Limassol. Our patrons.

I didn’t tell you that when we arrived and settled into the apartment rented for us, Katerina, Chris’s wife, took care of us. She bought bed linen, pillows and blankets, food, and essentials for us in advance. She took care of us with all her heart. And literally a few days later they came for us and took us on an excursion to the nearest village. Of course, I was very interested in looking at the village houses and learning how they were built, but the main purpose of our trip from our friends was to feed us. We were invited to a local tavern and Radu and I learned for the first time what such taverns look like. Silvia and Kostya had already been to Cyprus several times before, and. For them, this was not a surprise. But for us, it was very interesting. Our company was huge, there were seven of us, Chris and Katerina, we were seated at a huge table and they began to serve local snacks called meze. There were a lot of them, and we simply relaxed there in our tracksuits. And the hospita...
