On the eve of the last month of the year, again on Monday, the first day of a new week, I am writing a new post to talk about plans and past events.
Let’s start with the fact that this year, the year of the snake, was quite contradictory, not standard.
On the one hand, due to illness, I lost my eyesight, which currently limits my access to eye strain. This affected my current plans and work. On the other hand, I was given the opportunity to work in my gallery among young, quite talented artists from Etobicoke, but in that situation it was difficult for me to tune in to a big job and I left the gallery, because it took away my finances, which were not very large anyway.
After the autumn creative upsurge, I began to create more paintings on glass, wood, and plastic again, which significantly changed my work.
I was able to recreate what I had dreamed of for many years – I created some very beautiful decorative works, paintings on wood. And although this is not an easy job, because first you need to dry the wood, and only then, after processing, you can cover it and write on it. One work took up to a month of work. And the tone and brightness simply stunned me. I am very impressed with the final result and will return to such instillations again next year.
But as a work for sale – they are not suitable. They look very nice in interiors, on the walls of premises, but they have no collection value.
Another big work is still ongoing – this is the Christmas time and markets and fairs.
For this I have put a lot of drawing on Christmas balls. For over four years now I have been making new collections every year. This inspires me, gives me creative energy.
This year I have already participated in fairs, where people come to my tables for inspiration and joy, because my works shine with love and sunny diversity. They inspire people with joy and cause excitement and amazement from beauty.
I dare say that this work helps me get out of the state of illness, so I continue it.
Looking back at the last few years and the fact that the illness caught me in a daze, I was full of hopes and plans that were broken, but after a short rest, returning to drawing. I note that I have changed and it has become very bright and very interesting to draw.
Another interesting news that happened to me this year, I started doing master classes on Petrykivka painting, and the next one will be at the end of this week – this is a new branch in my work.
Being an artist is interesting. But being a teacher is a master who has already gained experience and can share it with young people. The fact that I am currently surrounded by young people is a very interesting time for me.
The fact that I teach people to draw, make them fall in love with art, help them overcome fear and teach them to draw is wonderful.
Another pressing and sensitive topic for me is how to heal people through creativity. From the traumas that are currently many around, people grow old, get sick, and close in on themselves. Art heals. I felt it when people approach my works, touch them, enjoy my works, smile. They get ideas and stuff – it’s very beautiful. This means that I convey love and light to them through my art. That I excite them to creativity.
So, in the last month of this year, I will still catch up on everything that I haven’t done yet.
Namely, at least this – in front of me stands a wooden rooster, which I have already processed and applied a base for painting. It is waiting for my work on it. I will definitely make it unique and unique, like everything I have done in the last two months.
Isn’t it wonderful.
It only remains to advise you to follow my website, where my new works will be exhibited.
