“It’s funny to me, the first thing people pick out. Art is truly like a mirror. If I put humor in there, a funny person will laugh. A person a little fearful will find their fear, whatever it is. That’s one of the great things art does.” © Ray Caesar
April 24, 2011 / 21:09 back from Bruxelles
Came back from Bruxelles where I’ve visited my friend Karin who lives there. Some photos:
I keep asking myself: why, why am I hate so much being back from abroad? I liked my life pretty much before I left. So why all I see for the few first hours is one big uncontrolled mess? The only comforting point is that I already know from the «previous chapters»: the time will pass by, and I’ll like everything back. Even though the mess will stay.

Fresh Paint-4 was surprisingly much more successful for me than I’ve ever expected. My works are actually already sold out. Thanks for everybody who came to see it, and especially for people who bought my works and took them home. It gives a lot of motivation to continue.

Recently my works have been printed in Japanese modern art catalogue Aquirax Contact. I can’t believe I’m in one book with one of my favorite artists Kazumasa Nagai and other amazing Japanese artists.

it’s the name of the picture, not me having a crisis :)
But I am familiar with the feeling. ![]()

See the old porcelain statuette in the middle? I got from my grandma. And she got it from her pupils while being a teacher of Russian literature and language in Minsk. It used to stand in the the buffet, behind the glass, and as a child I was forbidden to play with it. Of course I took it out of the buffet when nobody was around. But, well, it wasn’t so interesting to play with it anyway. Later, I read Gogol’s «Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka» and recognized that scene. Cool book, btw — ukranian fantastic realism :)
Two puppet heads next to it I bought in a puppet-workshop in Burma. It was to heavy to carry around the whole dolls in backpack. The funny bird with long legs and a gramophone next to it I bought on a flea market in Jaffa. And a little bear in the left corner — it’s a Russian Winnie-the-Pooh, yes, Russian Winnie-the-Pooh is black! But this one has also unusual long gray fur. My dad was carrying it around as a talisman. Then gave it to me, when we met after 17 years. ![]()

so, the picture based on a photo of Michelle (who surprisingly transformed into two asian girls), finally is ready.
