This is a list of acrylic paints on paper with a folklore style.
About how the paintings are created, I’ll talk today.
Folklore style is very popular in every country.
We are, in Ukraine, have the most famous as Petrykivka painting.
These are drawings with elements of flowers and birds.
I made a lot of paintings in this style, and now I am preparing for the exhibition, where I will show a mix of folklore with a Petrykivka in a slightly humorous style.

When I start working, I create an image.
For example, it will be flowers. When the shape of the flowers is defined, I put a basic color from the colors in a small sketch with a pencil.
After applying the flowers, I paint the corners of the picture, observing a small sequence-below the flowers should be large, at the top-small. They twist the branches.
The shapes of the flowers are not necessary. They are repeated. They can be different.
The branches are covered with leaves and also larger from below, above-small. Their curvature repeats the direction of the flowers.

The picture is obtained as a carpet, colored and mottled.

I show on the example of this picture how the images are distributed. The flowers twist the bird, but do not touch it
The bird seems to float, but this is only at the beginning of the painting.
In the final part around the bird will be denser  flowers and they will fit tightly to the bird.
The color of the picture is collected from the combined colors. Classically, it’s two colors.And…… that’s ……all.
Now …in modern style use more colors, which gives the painting a motley.
After creating an image and  drawing it, let it dry and  cover by varnish.
So you can draw on all wooden covers, on paper, on cardboard, on canvas.
I use canvas and oil paints.
Another one my favorite subject is the creation of a huge variegated folklore canvas painting.
I will show today a recently finished job.

I created it for the last exhibition .
But this pfinting is very beautiful, fashionable and modern looks in our interior.
It is harmonious both with the classical style, and it is included in the vanguard decision.
I think this is a good decision)
If I had the opportunity, I would describe in this style the walls, furniture, clothes and decorate the premises.
When you create paintings in this style, you can not stop. I want to do a new and new painting.
The work itself is very exciting.

How the painting changed under the influence of calligraph

Today I taking about how the painting changed under the influence of calligraph.

How- the painting changed under the influence of calligraph

I already wrote then I was interested in old inscriptions and hieroglyphics.
I began to study them carefully and compare them with the modern image.


How that it turned out to be your judge.
I’ll just show the stages of how two paintings were transformed.
Both paintings are already submitted to the exhibition which will be held in late April in Toronto.
I’ll start with the painting which published in the previous post.
That painting was  a long time just as abstract painting.
This painting is basically drawn in 2017.
It is mixed technique, which used both oil and acrylic and the base was taken from the primer, which gave the picture a graininess.

How the painting changed under the- influence of calligraphHow the painting changed- under the influence of calligraph

Engaged in hieroglyphics, I put on the picture inscription,,cat ,,and just repeated the bending of the animal.
So there was an image of a cat

I just slightly more clearly singled out the Arabic spelling of the word ,, cat ,,(a-kat)

How the painting changed under- the influence of calligraph

Lines of Arabic writing gently settled in the bend of the lines of the painting and I had a pretty image of a lazy blue cat))

Can only watch the rebirth of the painting))
I was inspired by such creativity


My second painting was a painting with a face.With blue face))
It was called “blue face”.

How the painting- changed under the influence of calligraph

Like the previous one, the picture was drawn in 2017.

How the painting changed under the- influence of calligraph

It is flatter and made only with oil paints.
Its color was soft and graphic image.
Among the Chinese characters I found the name ,,Women,,
It coincided with the name of the painting and repeated the lines depicted in the painting.

 

How the painting changed under the influence- of calligraph

 

I only strengthened the corners of the hieroglyph for clearer reading.
And it’s all…
So there were two amazing painting in the new feed ,with new properties, with a new image.
I liked these transformations very much))

Thinking about geometric symbols

Thinking about -geometric symbols

This my painting very soon will be exhibited at the spring exhibition in Toronto.
It will be prepared and changed.
It will appear geometric hieroglyphs as a symbol of the spring exhibition 2018.


We’ll talk today about this and other things that worry me.

Thinking about geometric- symbols

Often, when we draw, we start drawing with lines, circles and waves.
It connects into an image becomes a picture,painting.


If we enter our subconscious, we will understand an interesting discovery.

Thinking -about geometric symbols

Imagine that we are drawing our codes, we draw unconsciously that the ancestors drew on rocks and stones, advanced from generation to generation.

Studying ancient wall inscriptions in Mesopathamia, Egypt, China and Ukraine, I came to the conclusion that this is the beginning of our art,our painting process))

Thinking- about geometric symbols


Million repeating lines and circles, as a result, give an image of the picture, where, if you look closely, there are ancient hieroglyphs.

Thinking -about geometric symbols

And has no meaning in which country or when this image appeared.The line is line,the waves is waves.


All the ancient rock carvings are almost identical in spelling and have one meaning:they carry their code, their continuation, their symbol to subsequent generations.

Thinking about- geometric symbols

Most of them are narrated about hunting and victory over an animal, or about the life of a tribe, or about a crop or a crop failure.


In any case, something extraordinary that needs to be fixed and left for generations to remember.

And just art that stretched the thread from ancient times to modernity.In modern painting, it is easy to find an image, сreated by several hieroglyphs and reflecting the drawn image.

1487964357126196265

I draw some kind of inner line and meaning between drawing in the old days and modern. I see an absolute coincidence and similarity.
As an artist, I always start painting, having the idea of ​​something to portray or tell or leave for the next generation.


What amazed me was that, considering the paintings of contemporary or previous artists, you are always inspired by these paintings when you stop near they.
Paintings impress with meaning or idea.It is true.

Thinking about geometric symbols

And this is that invisible discovery, that thread of connection between ancient writing and modernity.
The paintings attract the eye.

Thinking -about -geometric symbols

 

And when you look at them carefully, you see both lines and waves and circles.

 

Thinking about geometric _symbols

All the same simple symbols invested in our consciousness by our ancestors.

3-00006008-a-00001146

This, probably, and beckon us into artand it is intrigues .Always, somewhere  tickles the feelings, plays with subconscious.

C-A1G57WAAEvb9V

I want to show on this example.
There are women on painting.
To draw a female silhouette easily.

Women’s silhouettes are the smooth repetition of lines.


This is the image from Trypillian wall .This image is encrypted into the image of the bull’s head, carrying the code of the female body, wealth, procreation and full circle of life.

thinking about geometric symbols

This is the code given to us in the generation with the symbol of the continuation of the genus, with the symbol of eternity and with the symbol of heritage.
In wall paintings we find them in unchanged images))This symbol is preserved unchanged in modern painting and carries all the same meaning and idea.
I now study a bit of ancient hieroglyphs and got the idea that time has not changed us.
We remained the same, bearing the code of our life, our eternal existence.
Maybe there are some modern changes that are very thin and sensitive to me.
I followed this trend that, alongside the image of great battles and harvests, portrayed the beauty of a woman and her strength is present too.


The modern world has changed to a woman. And this is sad for me. I fill that.And this will affect our next generations.
But I’ll tell you the next time))

What i want next 2018 year

what -i wnt next 2018 year

New Year 2018 is approaching.
A few days left before it starts.
I am cold, I cough and can not actively spend these days.
I canceled to have parties and meetings, because I feel very bad.
I had time to work a little with computer.I have time for myself.

I very much hoped that at the end of December I will be accepted for a solo exhibition in Etobicoke Art Gallery.

 

what i want-next2018 year

But the jury did not approve me, they just sent me a letter saying that the works are great and I stayed with them.
I stay with you, my friends, how much will I have enough.
I submitted to the contest in the newspaper, where my works were published last year.
So I was also sent a beautiful letter that I’m good, but took another.
I do not suffer from this.
But my strength and desire from this conceal.
I’m looking for other ways and exits.
After all, you can not wait and suffer all your life.
But where is the incentive for creativity?

what i -want next 2018 year

Because of illness, because of dryness in the throat and a strong cough at night, I stopped drawing now.
I think they will return to creativity after illness and a trip to Ukraine.

So what do I want to do next year?
Of course, I’m looking for acquaintances and help in making the film by my script.
This is the reason for my trip to Kiev.
The film is planned to be shot in Kiev.
There is a production for work, but its funds are not enough and we are looking for co-production for the organization of the film.
A movie about bikers and funny.
My dream is to show it to the audience.

Believe me, for many reasons-it’s difficult for me to do this.
Of course, I will be glad to get acquainted and support.

What I want to do next year- is to finish two more scenarios.
Both scenarios about life are 4 serial melodramas.

The first script about women, I’m finishing the second series.
The second scenario is very dear to me, about the real events in the life of my friend and ready  only in the synopsis.
To him I’ll get later
.

 

what i want 2018 next year

What else would I want?

I lack management of my works and advertising in the field of art.
So next year I will more agree to exhibitions and events, where I can show my art work.
And I will devote more time to advertising and disseminating information about me.
Who interested in new names, who want unusual exhibits-contact me,please.


My exhibition will not be just an exhibition, I want to join together my work with the performances of artists and beautifully  decorations.
It’s like a mini show where all kinds of art are connected.
Not only in the opening day.A during the whole week of the exhibition.
As a mini festival(this is my dream and this is answer why I cancel many time offers from the organizers)

Please do not be offended and do not think that I’m arrogant.
I just do not see myself in ordinary exhibitions.
Me there or not enough or do not look like me.
But I really want to show myself and my world, if  make an exhibition.
So I applied to win individual exhibitions.

I want the next year to be as saturated as this one and even more…………………….
I wish health to all my loved ones……………………..
I wish success to all my colleagues………………………………….
I wish you love, my dear readers.Without it my life is empty……………………………..
I wish you happiness…………………………………….
Let your plans and ideas come true, let dreams come true…………………..


I remember a year ago one reader wrote to me:
,,You write well, but not enough. Please write more…,,


I then wrote a few lines. The publication of these few lines in English cost me a lot of sweat and a few hours. I sweated over each line and got confused in every word.
Today I am writing, remembering that time, smiling, thank you to my reader, who helped me and instructed me then and stimulated me.

Hahaha…………..
and I can not stop……….

 

Happy New 2018 Year me dear readers!!!!!!!!

Helen

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas my readers!
I wish you a miracle, harmony and happiness!

merry christmas

I did not see such a real Christmas for a long time.
Maybe when I was little
girl as small as my granddaughter.
During two days of snowing the street is closed.
When the first cyclone was on,I clear my car from snow.
For the second cyclone, my granddaughter and I simply closed in the house and both of us had a real evening of a fairy tale.

merry christmas

My white car merged with snow and it was just a big ball of snow.
Outside home is incredibly beautiful and incredibly cold at the same time.

merry-christmas
So we sat down together in the house, lit the lights on the tree and read fairy tales, stories in Russian and English
.

merry-christmas

We are discovered together for ourselves a real holiday of such a beautiful evening.
It’s a very warm feeling when near you there is an energetic twinkle that all the time ,,wants,,.
Wants to read, wants to eat, wants to play, wants to stop me.

I am very happy to see this little bundle of happiness that grows in front of the eyes and is open to the  her world.
I am pleased to observe this.
I see myself, when I’m little, sitting at my grandmother on knees and reading books.
I do not remember myself like that, but parents was told that I was very stubborn, hard and demanding.
I just smile, how wonderful it is, to grow like this.

The lack of knowledge forces the child to demand them.
Sometimes the child asks to do something that she already knows how, but with the hands of the parent.
And it’s interesting and beautiful.
We drew together, played games, prepared to eat together.

merry_christmas

Of course, today is not 1900, but 2018 soon.

merrychristmas
 I received a number of congratulations from my friends on e-mail.
Merry Christmas for all of you!

Wish you Happiness!!

Wish you Harmony!!

Wish you Peace!!
