Today is a wonderful and very pleasant occasion to contact my dear online gallery @Saatchiart through you and congratulate it on its small anniversary. 15 years of constant creativity! Great! I wish you success and even more artists.
Since 2010,through gallery have bought art into over 130,000 homes across 150+ countries,its amazing!
Help to build sustainable careers for many artists includihg me.
Even with significant changes in marketing and collector culture, a platform has been created and strengthened that is evolving along with the trends in the development of the art painting sales market.
It’s great that this is a mutual development, both of the online gallery and the artists and their works. The difference of the Saatchi Gallery is that it tests new platform functions, implements and improves, helps buyers easily find what they are looking for. Yes, we artists try to create something that brings joy and awakens thoughts, conversations and debates. This is how art is created and it lives. Happy New Year and a little holiday to you, Saatchi Gallery. And I remind you that in honor of this celebration, the gallery made discounts and traditionally I take part in them. I exhibited a new collection of works, which is very bright, childish, naive, funny, joyful and pleasant. Style and color cannot be taken away from me. My original style has been developed over years of work and is not comparable to anyone else. It remains only to thank my fate for this and you, my subscribers and readers, I invite you to the Saatchi gallery page
This company officially runs from August 15 to September 2 .2025. Hurry up, grab your happiness and the moment of a successful purchase thanks to the celebration and discounts.
It has become a tradition that I write a post not about today, but after some time. This does not change the basis of the post, but lags a little in time. Well, it is already the second day of autumn weather, autumn temperatures, and I return you to July, where the sun is in full swing, where every day was stuffy, dry and very sunny. Probably there were many requests and prayers from the residents of our country for more sun. So we got what we asked for. As if on command – from the first days of June. summer in Ontario, very hot days came.
The salvation from the heat and heat at the beginning of summer was an afternoon walk in the park. So Barbara and I decided to walk through our favorite park in Mississauga. Why our favorite? The largest Art Center in Mississauga is located there. Therefore, every time we look into the park, we invite ourselves to the gallery, to see what it has to offer, what activities there are and what’s new.
And of course, take a look at my favorite house, which is located next to the art center. A wonderful place in all respects. I even chose it as a location for making a film a few years ago. It is very well-kept, brings its beauty and taste to the beautiful landscape of the park.
The color of the flowers and greenery of the trees combined with the architecture of the building and the small park around it. The care of the people who look after this place attracts many people here every day.
And in the evening it is especially pleasant to walk in the shade of tall trees, fragrant herbs and many-sided flowers. This is a fabulous place for romantics, lovers and just lovers of walks in the park.
And I will allow myself to express gratitude for this piece of paradise in the middle of Mississauga. Although I can’t walk there and I’m not a resident of Mississauga, I still enjoy walking in this park.
In the park they grow a lot of different types of flowers. They try to grow potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers – we saw this in their experimental beds. In mid-July we went and saw what they had with the harvest. It was very interesting, because for me, as a gardener, the tomatoes were standing and slowly setting flowers. And the cucumbers in general decided to burn in the sun and get sick. No matter how I changed their places, they were exposed to the virus and the leaves dried up. And in the park at that time there were live, very large cucumber leaves and a lot of ovaries. Apparently, not only the place affects, but also the soil and the type of plant itself. Mine were bought ready-made in the store and this is my last purchase – it is better to grow from seeds than to spend money on seedlings heavily treated with growth hormones that cannot produce a harvest. In Ontario this is a problem, since we have a very short summer and we need to quickly grow and harvest. I do not envy our gardeners.
It’s easier with flowers, because there is no harvest here and you can calmly enjoy the blooming of luxurious lilies, roses and gladioli.
Fortunately, the park has plenty of flower species and their color and brightness are amazing.
I don’t even know which types of flowers I prefer.
Still, probably bushes, without flowering. I like them more.
Even these wild yellow flowers look different in well-tended flower beds.
This is a small house for bees, wasps and all sorts of insects, which can find there what they usually look for at the end of summer. Hide for the winter. This is collected to show to children who come here as little lovers of the park and nature. This year I have seen many of these summer camps with this focus. I am very glad that so much attention is paid to teaching children culture and caring for nature.
Walking among the trees, I look closely at the varieties of tree species growing here. For example, it is considered a favorite delicacy of birds.
This is a Christmas tree. But it is very well-groomed and that makes it look like a queen.
And this is my favorite wooden cart, where I made a film. The cart has already completely collapsed, but as an element of decor, it fits very nicely into the architecture of the park.
Well, let’s walk through the colorful flower beds again and feel their aroma. It is especially prominent during hot weather and at the end of a hot day it can be especially felt.
Echinacea is planted here too.
Another lily bed
If you think that it is boring and tedious here, it is not at all. In the summer, many concerts and events are held here in the art center building. Live music, meetings with artists and various exhibitions.
And I don’t want to leave the park at all, because this diversity of blooms gives harmony, calms, sets you up for an energetic rhythm and leaves a lot of memories for cold winter evenings. Publishing this memory, I wish for my friend a speedy recovery and look forward to new walks.
I hope it won’t be a one-way conversation, and I see you all as active participants in this discussion. The subject is history.
Topic: history I was inspired by the lecture I just listened to about Aina. Inspired Now, against the background of changes in history, which is being written in our days, we are all involved in it to a greater or lesser extent, we are all witnessing new discoveries. Discoveries in history are associated with the expansion of the study of historical facts. At one time or another, we ascertained the events that took place, but as we become more interested in the facts, history returns to its study anew. I have always been interested in studying history Back in school, I remembered battles, signing treaties, and truces in detail. In my school, the history of Ukraine was studied so superficially that when I was behind my son’s “fours”, I had to sit with him and help him learn world history, and with it the history of Ukraine (because the teacher of these subjects was the same woman, also the director of the lyceum), then I discovered a new story for myself. That is a completely different story, in which the Cossacks and the Cossacks were described in detail. As for my knowledge, I, and my generation, we simply did not know the real history. She graduated from school in 1980. Ah. Why was she an excellent student? Maybe because even now, when everything is changing rapidly, I look into history, looking for answers. And then, it was good that my son brought a two, we sat together and taught him several lessons in advance, so that the teacher could not pressure him and give him low grades. And I studied history again. So then we surprised the teacher with him, he answered every question automatically. She chastised him in both world history and Ukrainian history… and he answered perfectly.
-Sit down! Well done! But tomorrow he will call his mother to school…,- this was our victory with him.
Today I attended a very interesting lecture. It is caused by the development of this trend in the world and gives an idea of the ancient history of the Ainu, the indigenous inhabitants of the island of Hokkaido, located in the Sea of Okhotsk. If you are interested in the topic, feel free to search for it, but I am not talking about it today. No, I can tell you. If you are interested, write. Listening carefully to the lecturer, respected professor, scientific researcher, I noticed several interesting details. The first concerns the fact that humanity develops and lives cyclically. The most flourishing of world cultures and civilizations falls on the 13-14th century. And this trend was on all continents, touching various civilizations of America, Europe, Australia and other continents. And at that time there was neither the Internet nor airplanes. The rapid development caused many wars two centuries later, which destroyed entire nations. The next such peak was the end of the 19th and 20th centuries, which, after the inventions of electric machines, the Internet, airplanes… caused bloody wars. Now about discoveries, finds, historical values. The lecturer was asked why there is so little and how does she collect and transfer collections to patrons and collectors? She replied that she was looking at Who is transmitting! What (!)conveys and How! Not everyone is who they say they are…and not all finds are real. Now about culture and descendants. The population of this ethnic group in the Sakhalin region is only 300 people, in Japan there are 25 thousand of them. There are many more of them, but most of them were assimilated into Japanese culture. How did they survive? With the help of excavations of the remains of their culture and libation stick finds with a prescription of their cultural traditions. They survived with the help of writing and traditions. They have their own characteristics, ethical values, traditions. Women have a special tattoo around the mouth – mandatory for married women, because in this way they were protected. (In many nationalities, I found that a married woman was tattooed in order to preserve her) Recently, I found this about the tribes of the First Nation in America, but they were tattoos on the chin. It was also done to girls to keep them in the tribe. Individual poenmen tattooed the faces of girls in different ways to distinguish them. The Bedouins still tattoo beautiful girls.
The Ainu tattooed the whole body and limbs, applying a specific pattern similar to the pattern of the Australian aborigines. (In men, on the face around the eyes, on the neck). Bald, but with long hair on the temples. The tattoo pattern was also applied to the kimono, in which they walked, that is, the pattern was repeated on the clothes and it tells about the tree, the life tree of the family. Fishing was very developed. Now about traditions – how did they preserve traditions?! After all, there are very few of them, they have almost died out. Men hunted, fished (currently they are fighting to be granted a special status of catching fish), were engaged in growing plants. Women were busy with children, in the summer they went far to the mountains to collect plants for the winter. Traditions were transferred from generation to generation with the help of customs, dances and songs. This is how women skillfully play something like a pipe (chip) and dance plastically. The dance is accompanied by a specific exclamation. Just imagine: they sit in a circle and start singing and dancing. The dance and song were passed down from generation to generation and carried the spark of traditions, which helped today to restore this small nation, to give it belonging to traditionally indigenous peoples.
I notice again: everything has cyclicity. Wavelikeness. While raising a child, women pass on traditions. This helps to preserve culture.
