Tatyana Binovskaya- artist

By May 2022, Sylvia had already found a job. She became an administrator of a fashionable SPA complex. For her at that moment, it became a way out of hopeless melancholy. So for my birthday, she made a surprise – an invitation to a SPA! The children prepared wonderful cards. And I don’t remember the restaurant where we celebrated our holiday with Radu. So, despite everything, we continue to live a normal and human life. And those who expect to destroy us, Ukrainians, WILL NOT WAIT! Лімасол. Травень 2022 року. Мій день народження. До травня 2022 року наша Сільвія вже знайшла собі роботу. Вона стала адміністратором модного СПА комплексу. Для неї на цей момент це стало виходом від невичерпної туги. Тож на мій день народження вона зробила сюрприз-запрошення на СПА!   Діти приготували чудові листівки. А ресторан у якому ми відзначали наше з Раду свято я не пригадаю. Отже, незважаючи ні на що, ми продовжуємо жити нормальним і людським життям. А ті, хто розраховує знищити нас, українців, ...

Finally, autumn has come to us. Together with it, the sun has moved towards the sea and now the most interesting thing begins – stunning sunsets. It rained several times and this makes my heart happy. It was painful to look at the dried-up reservoirs. It is difficult to imagine how the island can survive if there is no water on it.   I have finished my next painting. For which I interrupted work on paintings for the exhibition. It will be called Dragon Mother! I realized that I no longer want to belong to the human race. People are not worthy of life on a beautiful planet called Earth! Recently I talked with my daughter Rada and we discussed the amazing, inexplicable mysterious structures that still remain on our planet, such as, for example, the famous pyramids of Egypt. Whatever you say, whatever you invent, people could not have built them themselves. And Rada found an absolutely correct explanation for all these miracles – she assumed that they were built by DRAGONS! And who ca...

Of course, everyone needs relief and distraction from the sadness that has filled us to the limit. And our Sylvia does not allow us to be sad. She once again takes us for a walk. Even little George goes through this route, despite the fact that it is really far. The children are happy, and for us it is entertainment, although we feel remorse and shame for the fact that we are safe, and people are dying in the country. Життя у Лімасолі. Весна 2022. Тавернакі ресторан. І ось ми знову на прогулянці на Марину і знову відвідуємо улюблений дітьми ресторанчик. Звичайно ж усім потрібне розвантаження і відволікання від смутку, що наповнила нас до краю. І наша Сільвія не дозволяє нам сумувати. Вона вкотре веде нас на прогулянку. Навіть маленький Георгій проходить звістку цей маршрут, незважаючи на те, що це справді далеко. Діт...

In May, we are still living in Pecora Court, Limassol. There are many Russians wandering around. It seems that Limassol is an incubator for growing Russians, our future enemies. The mood is sad as hell. I get the idea to paint the stones I find on the beach and leave them on the beach. I write pleasant wishes on the stones and my soul rejoices imagining how unexpected it is for passers-by to find such a Stone! Вимушене переселення. Лімасол, 2022. Камінці на пляжі. У травні місяці ми ще продовжуємо жити в Пекора Корт, Лімасол. Навколо бродить багато росіян. Складається враження, що Лімасол – це інкубатор з вирощування росіян, наших майбутніх ворогів. Настрій тужливий до нікуди. Мені спадає на думку розмальовувати знайдені на пляжі камінці і залишати їх на пляжі. На камінчиках я пишу приємні побажання і моя душа радіє уявляючи, як несподівано для перехожих знайти такий камінчик!

Our patrons Chris and Katerina, thank you very much for continuing to look after us. They pay for our accommodation and organize entertainment for us! This time they invited us on a trip to their summer house in the Troodos Mountains. It was a new experience, we drove for a long time through the mountains and finally reached the house of Chris and Katerina. It is located in a pine forest. The trees are so tall that you can hardly see their tops. Now I understand how the locals take refuge in the forest during the approaching unbearable heat on the island. We had a great time, talking a lot with each other. Yes, it is very important to talk to people, which we are practically deprived of living here. Thanks to the caring and wonderful people for their unconditional care and patronage! Before our trip, Georgy prepared a gift for Katerina, he drew her a bird. Травня 2022.

We have been living together in the Pecora Court apartments for several months now. However, Kostya still goes on business trips, and from time to time, we are left without him. There is no work or classes either. We are trying to formalize our temporary protection status. At some point, we were given only a one-time allowance—500 Euros for Radu and me. The mood is nasty, and the only thing that pleases is the children, it is not boring with them. One day, Radu returns from the store with flowers! Magnificent yellow lilies like the sun. This filled me with incredible feelings – happiness through tears. And of course, I could not remain indifferent, and painted a portrait of these amazing lilies in the colors of our Ukrainian flag! Життя на вимушеному переселенні. ії Лімасол. Жовті лілії. 2022 Ми живемо в апартаментах Пекора Корт уже кілька місяців усі разом. Хоча Костя досі продовжує їхати у відрядження та час від часу ми залишаємось без нього. Роботи немає, занять теж. Намагаємось офо...

Like all residents of America and Europe, we watched the elections in America. And it seemed to me that it would be better for Americans if a woman became president. The actions of male presidents do not deserve respect. Trump won, who for me personally personifies Americans. When I was in Los Angeles in 2000, at one of the meetings that the organizers of our trip arranged for us, I sat next to a typical middle-aged American who, looking at the participants of the meeting, so different in both nationality and culture, said a phrase that I remembered for the rest of my life. He talked about young Americans, about how they should travel while fighting to get acquainted with the geography of the world. What will happen with the situation in Ukraine after the elections in America is not worth imagining, no one can know. The only thing that makes me happy is that for three nights in a row, my throat Odessa has not been shelled! П’ятничні новини з Лімассолу. Листопад 2024 року. Як і всі жите...

In April 2022, I am painting a new work called “Chronicles of War”.   Don’t even think that I could somehow personally experience what I depicted. I can’t even imagine in my dreams what our soldiers feel in a war zone. Oddly enough, living in Melbourne, I met homeless people on the streets who had dogs with them. I understand that this saved them from the cold. Living creatures can share the warmth of their living bodies with each other. It’s true! But every work that comes into this world brings with it not only feelings, but also events, sometimes not entirely pleasant. Today, in 2024, far from the events described, while the merciless war continues, my work makes waves in the city of Bruges, far from all this. Backstory – in October 2023, I found out in my FB feed that Edik Belsky and Kateryna were going to Bruges to participate in the Ukrainian Art Week. And I asked to be taken in the company. Not so much to participate in the exhibition, but rather to have an official reason t...

https://www.facebook.com/groups/461052681344642/posts/d41d8cd9/1706463796803518/ This 2022, we were preparing for and celebrating Easter in forced displacement in Limassol. Sylvia met our girls from the Ukrainian diaspora and they asked her to help organize an event for our Ukrainian children and bring a little tradition and entertainment to their new life. We decided to organize a master class on painting Easter eggs. The meeting took place in one of the cafes on the Marina. The girls even found a sponsor from China. All materials were purchased at the expense of the sponsor. Of course, I could not help but join the process. Our children, who suffer even more than us because of the expulsion from their past life, had a great time. Materials were purchased, eggs were boiled and, in addition, the children received gifts from the sponsor! And we decided to go to nature and celebrate Easter on the bank of the dam. For some reason, it seemed like a good idea. We love picnics. But the surro...

How nice it is when it’s nighttime for you to see them in the daylight. When it’s Summer for you, they rejoice in Winter or vice versa. And it’s even better to feel good knowing they are safe and have a real home and life! It’s wonderful! And I won’t tell you about the beauty of Cape Town’s nature for the hundredth or thousandth time – better look at the photos! Наша родина в Африці. Кейптаун, 2022.
