Have you ever thought about what gives you the most pleasure?
Everyone has their own thing. Some enjoy the taste of the first sip of coffee in their morning cup, some love to travel and give themselves pleasure in discovering a new city or park, and some, like me, see pleasure in grains.
It’s wonderful when in the cold, snowy winter time you plant a grain in a pot and watch how, from the sunny day and warmth, a simple little plant begins to appear under a bush of a house flower – first two tails and then either a beautiful flower, or a bush of a tomato or cucumber.
I always enjoy this moment. I love to ruin my manicure and dig in the ground to transplant this beautiful grain into a fertilized pot, water it and watch it grow every day.
A secret hour of meditation for me and the flower.
I have noticed before that if you leave it unattended for a week, the consequences can be different, but more often negative.
Therefore, every day, regardless of the weather, rain or shine, a morning greeting to this little grain. His parting words for life. encouragement and care.

My Dream
Today is my post of gratitude.
This is for you, my fans and admirers.
This is for all lovers of art in any form.
In my opinion, art is divided into commercial and non-commercial (uncompromising). No matter how rude it may sound, but it is the second that is most valuable. And the first – commercial – is doomed to perish and at some moments to enmity and war.
So here is my gratitude to you, my dear connoisseurs of the beautiful – in music, art, poetry and life.
I thank everyone who fills their life with the beautiful with the first sunny morning light, with relaxation after a hard day at work, with diving into the abyss of relaxation on vacation – thank you.
After all, in essence, life should not be bitter, scary, unhappy.
After all, we, born of screaming and pain, strive all our lives to find happiness, peace and love in it.
Thank you.
I see everything that surrounds us as beautiful.
I try to create everything that is in my hands with love.
And you feel it.
The smile in my eyes will not fade, no matter how time destroys me, no matter how the years take their toll, no matter how old age approaches…
Thank you…
In the world of art, I have risen to the step of the creator. This is the highest step, where I can easily imagine what I need to create and find the time to gather strength and implement what I have conceived.
Thank you.
Today I will present to you my most precious work.
- A turning point in my life. I refused to do many things that I had done before. I stopped working in the film industry, retrained as a screenwriter and still did not understand at all what and how to do. I was left without a livelihood, but I really wanted to narrow the field of activity and do only art. This is how Helen Polischuk was created,my production and a new stage of life began. A lot of study, attempts, orientation, skills, experience. During difficulties, I often created paintings and drew. It helped, distracted and I learned to train myself. Now a lot is behind me, my third children’s book is already published, production is working and beautiful pictures are being created both in the Petrekivka style and in various other styles. In 2017, a whole collection of my, I dare say, masterpieces was released. One of them was later exhibited at many exhibitions, had great success, for it I received the title of Best Artist of Ukraine in 2022. I will present this painting to you today.
Tell me, my wonderful colleagues, can you repeat your most chenial paintings?
Understood.
But the copyists can.
They can copy))…that’s their skill. They can also copy Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”, Van Gogh and Rembrandt.
I created this painting in 2017 and called it, “My Dream”
What’s special about it?
Well, I was creating a portrait and, as is typical for me, with humor and novelty, I showed how many thoughts and dreams I have.
Of course, I can’t repeat this anymore.
But someone will try someday))
I’ll go back to the beginning of my post and thank everyone who read it to the end and whom I interested in art even more.
Thank you

Today I will tell you about the most viewed and beloved painting of those put up for sale on the site today www.saatchiart.com/helenpolishuk
This painting is called “Church” and was created by me in 2019.
It is on canvas, acrylic and covered with varnish from changes under the influence of light.
My signature is at the bottom right.
The painting is dear to me, like everything I create.
It is a composite image of churches, to which we go for purification and renewal, where we find consolation and love.
If we recall my favorite green city Kyiv, then the image of the church is St. Andrew’s, which stands at the top of the rise of St. Andrew’s descent, which connects Podil with the city center.
But the most dear to me is St. Sophia’s Church, which is the Mother of all churches in Kyiv and includes value, greatness and our heritage.
As a Christian, reminders and symbols of the church are dear for me. Christians honor the scriptures and think about Peace, Faith and Love.
This painting is part of a collection of urban paintings that I have been creating throughout my career.
If we take my early work, which dates back to the 90s, there is a picture painted in black and white, repeating the graphics in oil paints.
In those distant years, in my youth, it was painful and bitter for me to watch how our churches in many places were destroyed and forgotten. That picture – the roof of the church is tilted, plants are growing on it, the building is destroyed and only the cross reminds of the significance of this building.
The picture is in the collection in my home.
Today, time has passed and I am pleased to see the changes. My eye is pleased that young people honor the traditions of their ancestors, that our churches are rich in parishioners during the hours of celebrating holidays, they honor traditions and rituals.
I am glad that my picture today is recognized among the entire collection by the greatest number of views and likes.
It is very touching for me that my work is in a modern rhythm and is popular.

And about one portrait…..
The story of one painting from the list submitted for the action.
This is one of five paintings that I created in 2017, which is already distant for me, and it remains the only one. For obvious reasons, I did not put my son’s portrait up for sale, but this portrait – for some reason a lot of people looked at it and quietly left it aside.
Somehow it reminded them of someone and they just walked around it.
Hmm..
The events of the war in Ukraine reminded me – half a face of whom it reminds. But when I created it, there was no specific person in front of me, just a creative image.
I never thought that half a face would appear in such a portrait.
I don’t even need half a face.
It’s interesting that people carefully avoid it. And it’s clear for what reasons.
An interesting moment in history.
Everything that was.
Everything that will be and we are now in this moment.
I’m not commenting. I’m just telling you what is usual for an artist and asking for your permission to have an opinion
