March

….Don’t quarrel with nature, she knows what she’s doing….

from the exhibition

It is no coincidence that I chose my quote for this post.
Look how sunny and warm it is on the first day of March. I want to believe that this weather will remain and help nature come to life and bloom.
In nature, everything is natural. After the cold comes warmth, after flowering the fruits ripen, after the harvest, nature sheds its leaves and asks to give peace and rest to the trees before the cold. Prepare for death naked. Winter comes and the trees meet it naked, ready for renewal. Winter passes, heat for plants, the state of renewal comes with the first warm days of spring. And so this cycle repeats every year.

We also experience these cycles if we listen to nature. If not, and we are blind and deaf, then we lose a lot in the wrong cycle of life.
And you need to feel this cycle. You need to feel that after the strong, heavy magnetic elemental days of February, the gentle, cat-like days of March come. Even if it’s one day longer this February, then March 1st came and the weather changed completely.
Just yesterday evening, at sunset, I managed to notice the unusualness of the clouds on the horizon. They were curly, small, bluish-gray multiple clouds, densely standing in several lines on the horizon, like a flock of lambs on a soft pink background. The combination of these colors was unusual. Such a sunset too unusual.
“It will probably still be cold tomorrow,” I thought.
And only when I woke up today from the rays of the sun that appeared in my eastern window, I realized that, as always, spring has come. And it has come firmly, showing us that March will be warm.
Well.
Let it be .

So much hope for renewal, for blossoming and warmth.

May March bring more love and understanding.

We will clean our houses, put our gardens, lawns, and vegetable gardens in order to plant a good harvest.
And I will start a bunch of new projects that attract me.
One of them, but it’s more of a continuation than a beginning. It opened yesterday. It’s friendly to me

ROOTS which was open on the last day of February in Cloverdale Mall,Etobicoke.

I wish success to all the participants in this exhibition. I am pleased to see both familiar and completely new artists among them. And regarding their creations, I am a fan..
I just always like painting, which feels free, like the creation of images that are inherent to the master without any pressures or restrictions, with characteristic experiments and departures from traditions. With their inherent brightness and contrast. That’s how it was now.
The exhibition will be held FEBRUARY 29-APRIL 11,2024 in partnership with QuardReal and present the 5th show of ROOTS’exhibition series.

This year-long exhibition celebrates the rich cultural diversity of Toronto.Ita fifth edition will feature eight incredible African Artists in celebration of Black History Month.

Spring ends and May 2022 comes to an end.

An unusual month, like an unusual spring.

Spring of war, destruction and creation, spring of hopes and victories
What does it take to win? – This is the question most often heard today.
Will we win? Will we win?
Of course. Looking back at everything that happened in the first months of the year, I say that this will go down in the history of the world as a huge change in the world – and this is already an irrevocable phenomenon.

Yes. You ask because you are tired of an incomprehensible state. You are nervous because everything has risen in price all over the world and blame the military conflict in Europe. But the world has changed. There is nothing to blame, we have changed with the world. And changes are not unforeseen – reasons lead to them. Seeking or blaming is the easiest thing you can do to try not to change.
But after all this already will counteraction.
I have been feeling this opposition since February, when I tried to organize a viewing of my friend’s film and stumbled upon the venality of our system in the Diaspora. I retreated, we abandoned the fraudulent scheme, the film was successfully shown in several European countries and raised money to help refugees.
What is happening now and will happen over the course of the year, slowly? This is the realization that there are changes and we need to step over into the new. The old will no longer be, it is being destroyed.

And then victory is realized. Victory over oneself in the first place.
Over the mistaken opinion that the world will never change. Over the mistake of resisting change.

In the same way, two years ago we slowly entered two years of life under world quarantine. But we had to live, survive, bury relatives and friends who did not pass those terrible years.
This is an example. Many people still have fear, and now, on the streets, I see mothers with children with masks on their faces. Outside, on a warm sunny day.
It’s like a seal of fear.
The same will happen now. A terrible year. The destruction of my beautiful beloved city of Kyiv, the destruction and barbaric theft of cities and villages, entire regions wiped off the face of the earth. Mariupol. Kharkov. Chernihiv.
In the centre of Europe.
A terrible hell that forced millions of people to leave the destroyed areas and hide from the bombings, flee to Europe and America.
In the eyes of hope.

At first it was hope for a speedy end to the war.
Now it is a hope that this conflict will only be on our soil and will not spread to other European countries, not expand.
Peaceful Ukrainian villages are burning. People are dying.

The world has changed.

In this post I publish my paintings that were created this month of May 2022


We will win. I believe. The Ukrainian people are suffering a lot. But we will win.
I say this because I have changed. I say this because I realized that there is no past.
We will win

my creation to be continue….
