Television. The first inerview in TV.

Image
Television. In the gallery "Na Uyutnay", the long-awaited third anniversary approached! There is a whole film made by journalist Svetlana Khramova. While I can rewrite it in a format that allows you to upload it to YouTube - I work! Svetlana Khramova , you can tell a lot about this woman. For many years, Sveta covered the activities of the gallery on television and was herself a constant guest of the gallery. I gave my first television interview to her. I cannot but mention the work and support of Анатолий Венгрук , who has been with us and has been our friend all these years. Anatoly made a huge number of wonderful video reports devoted to both galleries. With regard to advertising on television, I still recall the ridiculous case of my first live broadcast with Alexander Lyakhovich on Central television. I remember the night, Radu and I came to the television centre - the situation reminded me very much of the maternity hospital, everything also happened ...

Maritime gallery. The first exhibition-competition "Woman and the Sea"

Image
Maritime gallery. The first art exhibition-competition "Woman and the Sea" The first picturesque competition proposed by the club of businesswomen. Women continued to visit the gallery with pleasure and it occurred to me to organize an art contest. Each exhibition, each presentation required an investment of material resources in addition to enthusiasm. And it was also necessary to create a circle of admirers of painting, although soon the admirers did not turn into clients, which I was counting on, they themselves increased their business due to the proposed communication. The gallery was a wonderful place to establish business relations amid minor charity. At that time, it was simply necessary for us to create and maintain the image of a successful business, although it was difficult to call a gallery business a business. The competition was supposed to be held at the Maritime Art Gallery, so I decided to connect the theme ...

Gallery "Na Uytnoy". Signs.

Image
"Na Uytnoy". Signs Time passed, and the gallery had its own signs. It is ridiculous to recall how important the various signs were in the life of the gallery ... the right hand will be combed - it means acquaintances will come, the left one will be combed for money, the priest will be combed - it means someone condemns! Tanya Kolkatina is our accountant, at first, she was very surprised at the gallery — she asked: “Tanya, tell me, why is it always scratching you all the time !!?” Just like in a funny joke: “Maybe you should wash more often? Another sign that related to the sale of the painting. I noticed that if a person comes to the gallery and he really likes the picture and at the same time he promises to return and make a purchase, this picture will not be sold in the next few years! For a long time I could not figure out why this was happening, and then I realized and found opposition. When an artist creates his work, whether it is a painter, sculptor or mus...

Maritime gallery. Yuri Veselov and Ortega

Image
Maritime gallery. Yuri Veselov and Ortega The meeting with Yuri Vladimirovich Veselov, who represented at that time in Odessa, the International fund of Luis Ortega took place in the gallery "Na Uytnoy". Veselov said that he is familiar with many Odessa galleries of that time, but wants to work only with us. He offered cooperation in the presentation of the work of the great master of engraving. Luis Ortega is a great artist and this is undeniable. Yuri Vladimirovich in the proc ess of communication and cooperation gave me a lot of new knowledge in the field of graphic skill, for which I am sincerely grateful to him. Since that time, preparations began for the exhibition of Luis Ortega. (1937-2012) Luis Ortega was born in Spain in 1937, after the loss of his parents, he was brought up in the Soviet Union. Luis Ortega, the largest master of contemporary incisor engraving, created his own creative method, a technique called Incorel. Painter, engraver, illustra...

ART Na Uytnoy. Portraits of artists.

Image
ART Na Uytnoy. Portraits and artists Surrounded and immersed in the world of art in these years, I began to work on a series of portraits of artists. The first was a portrait of Volodya Kharchenko - "a recognized genius among artists." Vladimir Kharchenko I didn’t have a relationship with Vladimir. Vladimir’s workshop was located next to the gallery on Yasnaya Street. Volodya came to the gallery almost always in an unsightly form and condition. Of course, of course he was a truly talented artist, and this is unconditional, but, being the daughter of a person who had similar problems, I still do not accept people who drink and smell badly all the time. I knew that among the gallery owners who were new at that time, there was a practice of profiting from such artists suffering from this ailment, often for a bottle of alcohol that lured their work from them. I considered it dishonorable. I remember in the spring, my children, students f...

2 years of the Maritime Art Gallery.

Image
Maritime Art Gallery -2 year. Now we already had two galleries and our calculation of what would become easier materially did not materialize, but work and worries increased. The second year of the Maritime Gallery began and it was not easy to work. The shipping company helped financially only at first, allocating funds to pay rent for the first quarter, and then we began to earn money. In addition to the cost of paying rent, there were salaries to employees, night watchmen, and other expenses, including racketeering. In the early years of the formation of Ukraine, as a new and uncharted country, a large number of tourists came to the city. Thanks to our work and contacts with the Intourist company, tourist buses drove up to the gallery one by one, drove off passengers who looked like starving mosquitoes, who poured clouds on souvenirs specially prepared for this occasion. So that we could cope with our expenses and hold out for some time, despite the fact that, the ap...

Travel notes. Greece.

Image
Travel notes Greece. I remember the incredible car ride through the streets of Piraeus . We were met and accompanied by a representative of the Blasco Chipschander Greek man named Vasya. He was supposed to purchase us all the necessary materials for the design of graphic artworks. When I created an image of Greece from childhood, I imagine the Greek people in the form of ancient Greek sculptures. I imagined Greeks to be blond and tall people very educated and melodious. A nd my idea was very different in actual contact with modern Greece. The fussy, stunted Greeks in no way corresponded to my vision, with images created by my consciousness. There was a terrible heat in Piraeus and the city hung in clubs of automobile smog. Alexandria, Egipt became the next city and this city made an indelible impression on me. It was the only port where we, the passengers going ashore, were given passports with us. Even our arrival at the port was ridiculous. As they approached the shore,...
