Tatyana Binovskaya- artist

A few months ago, Giuseppe Bertilino contacted me through my gallery. He told me about his grand project and said that his association wanted to invite two Ukrainian artists to participate. Participation is free, a catalog is printed, and the artists must send their works both ways at their own expense. I, realizing that all our Ukrainian artists are currently living in extremely difficult conditions, decided not to contact them directly, but to put his request in the gallery feed and in the mystetska toloka group. Moreover, I did not yet understand the format of the event and the preferences of the organizers. A lot of work was underway, many artists responded, and many refused. But throughout the process, Giuseppe realized that inviting only two Ukrainian artists was not enough. So the organizers decided to also make a separate group exhibition for Ukraine. So, on February 28, the opening of the first main part of the project took place, in it, along with all the participants, Alexey...

This month has been filled with many different cultural events that are important to me. Thanks to My Council, I was able to share them with you. The first was a visit to the exhibition at the Norval Foundation in Cape Town, the second was the pre-auction exhibition of the Strauss & Co. And the third - my favorite - was the February Art Fair in Cape Town. You can get acquainted with all this wealth on the channel! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/AjcKcn92V2Q https://youtu.be/9tdO9KbS9Ww https://youtu.be/2-HNXVYZoFE INVESTEC ART FAIR 2025 The Investec Cape Town Art Fair brings together the international art world in Africa. It features over 100 leading galleries and over 500 artists from four continents.

Багато років тому я підписала контракт із компанією Beauvo vivant, яка виготовляє чудові шарфи з натурального шовку у Бразилії у місті Сан Пауло! Наша співпраця триває вже багато років. І мені дуже подобаються їхні вироби! А сьогодні я отримала чудову новину, що недавно один із шарфів з моїми зебрами був проданий! Я щиро вдячна моїм бразильським друзям, адже що може бути приємніше художнику, як не продаж його мистецтва! https://beauvivant.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopsif1kVm6isc6cH_t7PHC1EFqYgzdaDYK_kV_vHdA7PemZlQR0 Many years ago I signed a contract with a company that makes beautiful scarves from natural silk in Brazil in the city of Sao Paulo! Our cooperation has been going on for many years. And I really like their products! And today I received wonderful news that recently one of the scarves with my zebras was sold! I am sincerely grateful to my Brazilian friends, because what could be more pleasant for an artist than selling his art!

The remaining ones became silent and turned the whole world upside down. MI, Ukrainians, with little hope, thought that after Trump came to power, there would be changes in our life (not living) I, being the smallest person on the planet, can have a powerful thought about what is happening, and I cannot help but recognize it. I developed my own feelings about America after visiting the Harmony program in 2000. Americans are very close in mentality to the Russians, and there is propaganda here and there. Trump is a great representative of his people, he is typical, like a stamp. Having read the first materials of my marriage with Putin, I was amazed. It seemed to me that I had mercy on Trump’s assessment. I have found a new strong negotiator who can reason with a maniac, who has a victim at gunpoint. So, you need to flatter, open up the arms, which you have already forgotten about, and then pull him out of the bunker and put him under the gun. Unfortunately, there was a pardon on the ot...

My works, which I painted in the first months of the war, while in Cyprus, were already presented in October 2022 at the Ukrainian Art Week in Bruges, Belgium. On February 23, 2025, they were shown at the Event of Three Years of Large-Scale War in Ukraine, yesterday, February 23, 2025, in the Church of St. Magdalene in Bruges, Belgium: “Faith and Courage of Ukraine”.

Сьогодні, 24 лютого, українці по всьому світу згадують, як розпочався їхній день. День, який ні ми, ні наші діти, ні наші онуки ніколи не забудемо. Мої роботи, які я написав у перші місяці війни, перебуваючи на Кіпрі, вже були представлені у жовтні 2022 ро...

The main event of this week is a visit to the Limassol General Hospital. Ask why? I have a chronic pain in my right shoulder that has worsened. I have been painting every day for my entire life. 5 hours a day and rarely rest. A few years ago, the same thing happened in Odessa and I suffered for a long time until I found the right doctor at the Lermontov sanatorium. Having lived in Cyprus for the third year, I have practically never consulted local medicine, with the exception of one visit to the dentist. And now I have dared. Before I begin to describe my adventures, I must note that we, Ukrainians, have the opportunity not to pay for our visits. This is part of the support program. Day one. Sylvia previously told me that upon arriving at the hospital we must find the reception desk and make an appointment with a doctor. We couldn’t find the reception, but they sent us to the ambulance. There I managed to talk to the doctor, who immediately sent me… He said that we had to go to the Old...

http://binovskaya.com/20th-of-february/ Tsiknopempti  is part of the traditional celebrations of Apókries (Απόκριες) the  Greek Carnival  season. Tsiknopempti occurs on the second to last Thursday before  Lent  and can be translated as  Charred Thursday  or  Smoky Thursday . It centers on the consumption of large amounts of grilled and roasted meats before Lenten fasting commences Apokries (Carnival season) in Greece is made up of three themed weeks of celebration.

http://binovskaya.com/friday-news-from-limassol-winter-troodos-february-2025/ This week, looking at the weather forecast, we realized that it had been snowing in Troodos for several days. Sylvia and her children had already gone there earlier. I was lucky enough to go with them on this tar and it was a real miracle. Just imagine, just 50 km from Limassol there is a real winter fairy tale. It was hard to believe. After driving for about 40 minutes and climbing up the mountains, we noticed tiny snowflakes, which quickly turned into a real snowfall. It seemed that on this day, all the inhabitants of the island decided to go to the mountains. A huge traffic jam formed on the road. We decided not to go up to Troodos and got out at the first possible parking lot. And before us opened the beauty of a pine forest with snow-covered trees, real snow, which I had not seen for many, many years, happy children and adults riding on modern sleds. It was wonderful. We had already been to the Troodos M...

These are the two topics of my Friday news. We have been living in Cyprus for 3 years now. We cannot complain that everyone here speaks Greek. In addition to English, the language of our enemies is also in common use. But sometimes it all confuses us. In Italy, preparations are in full swing for the huge exhibition Picta-25, thanks to my Online Gallery Binovska, our Ukrainian artists will participate in it. Initially, I decided to go there and take my works. But plans changed and I decided to send the works by mail. And here the second part of the story begins. In the conditions that I translated from Italian, it was stated that the works should be on site no later than February 20. So my works stood for a long time waiting for their time. In addition, as I understood from the translation, they needed to be delivered directly to the site. (This means courier delivery.) Radu and I went on reconnaissance. The first thing we did was go to Fedex. They said that they only ship for legal ent...
