April 2025, Limassol. My flowers.

-



How many times have I told myself that I don’t want to get attached to anyone or anything anymore, and here it is again…
This week I persuaded Radu to buy me hydrangeas. It’s very expensive, but due to the isolation and limitations of our life on the island, I need to find inspiration somewhere. The busy streets of Limassol are not inspiring, and the black sand beaches are simply depressing. And now I have new pets!
Every morning I talk to them, in addition to the two hydrangeas, I also have tiny pansies, they, like my children, smell great in the morning.
But yesterday, after I talked to the flowers and got down to work, disconnecting from contemplation for a couple of hours, I suddenly discovered that my beautiful chameleon hydrangea had shrunk all over, its petals had wilted! Oh, what a mess it was, you can’t imagine! But Radu is a real doctor of plants – he feels them. He gave our girl a bath and nourished her roots by putting them in water. A few hours later, her flowers straightened up and were full of life! I hope she will be healthy, which I wish for all of us!

Квітень 2025, Лімассол. Мої квіти.

Скільки разів я собі говорила про те, що не хочу більше прив’язуватися ні до кого і ні до чого і ось знову…
Цього тижня вмовила Раду купити мені гортензії. Це дуже дорого, але через замкнутість і обмеженість нашого життя на острові, мені потрібно десь черпати натхнення. Пільні вулиці Лімассола не надихають, а пляжі з чорним піском просто засмучують. І ось у мене з’явилися нові вихованці!
Щоранку я з ними спілкуюся, крім двох гортензій у мене є ще малесенькі братки, вони, як мої дітки, дуже пахнуть вранці.
А ось вчора, після того, як я поспілкувалася з квітами і взялася за роботу, відключившись від споглядання на пару годин, я раптом виявила, моя прекрасна гортензія-хамелеон, вся скукошилася, її пелюстки зав’яли! Ах, яке ж це було розлад, ви собі не уявляєте! Але Раду у мене справжній доктро по рослинах – він їх відчуває. Він влаштував нашій дівчинці ванну і підживив її коріння, поставивши у воду. Через кілька годин її квіти випросталися і налилися життям! Сподіваюся, вона буде здорова, чого нам усім бажаю!

VERA KHOLODNAYA

VERA KHOLODNAYA I perfectly understand that my short stories are much easier to read, but sometimes it takes me more time to talk about the interesting things that happened in my life and in my gallery. So ask, I will highlight several publications for this material. This is about my author’s project dedicated to the memory of silent film actress Vera Kholodnaya. I called it - "Last Tango" It seems to me that the dignity and greatness of every nation is to preserve cultural values. At all times, rulers, politicians wrote their own history for the people. At one time, in a Soviet school, we studied Marxist-Leninist aesthetics and built communism, and today our children learn the history of Independent Ukraine. Historical facts are distorted. Only the cultural heritage, names and life stories of interesting people, people of art - artists, actors, musicians remain unforgettable. But the interpretation of their names and meanings changes in the same way as history. ...

"The Last Tango"art project by Tatyana Binovska, Maritime Art Gallery, Odessa 2001

"The Last Tango" Art Project, by Tatyana Binovska Vera Kholodnaya was a real star of silent cinema and photographs with her image came out in mass print runs. The exhibition featured more than 200 photographs. Vadim Vadimovich Kostromenko, the permanent director of the Odessa Film Studio Cinema Museum, gave us several boxes with an old film. We pulled a fishing line throughout the gallery, hung files with legends about the life and death of V.Kholodnaya on it. You know, it turned out that it is very important that our viewers are very fond of reading, and later on at the next exhibitions I used this feature. The Cinema Museum provided a camera and a projector for use at the time.  The centre of the hall, so modern and cold, we separated with a thin muslin, which became the border between the past and the present. The interior of the room was recreated, which was collected from objects of that time. Interestingly, museum items were used - a screen, a dressing table, h...
