the enigma maya bloch

Maya Bloch family dinner gathering is one of the essential themas the artist keep on painting and repainting. For me, among other things, it is like trying to re-live a memory, re- feel a moment, kind of longing, ever longing for something. in this specific painting, there are flowers on the table, an other them often seen at the artists site.

you are the city

"In 'You are the City', a book by Petra Kempf's, 22 diagram drawings are split into four operational categories: Cosmological Ground; Leglisative Agencies; Currents, Flows and Forces; Nodes, Loops and Connections....By combining different sheets, and adding layers, a huge range of different compositions can be created, it invites the user to make new urban connections and realities, as different spatial arrangements and possibilities reveal themselves.

Just Love the works by Katharine Kuharic, the colors, compositions, the way political, social, views can be reflected with pure beauty along with a lot of both love and cynicism about humen nature, about America.

matryoshka

one of my earliest childhood memories are the Matryoshka dolls (we were calling them back then, babushka ), me playing with them, the matryoshka is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside the other, each is delicately painted in a similar way usually as the bigger doll...this sensation of opening one doll and finding a beautiful crafted similar yet smaller doll inside was a constant experience of happiness and wonder for me.

image source:colourlovers The first Russian matryoshka was turned and painted - according to a sample brought from Japan - in a Moscow toy workshop only in the 90s of the XIXth century. The Japanese original was manufactured with a great sense of humor. It consisted of a number of figurines stacking one inside the other and representing the Japanese Wiseman Fukuruma, a bold-headed old man with an oval-shaped head - the consequence of his deep meditations. As a rule, Russian matryoshkas depicted young ladies in Russian sarafans [peasant woman's dress] and shawls, holding baskets, flowers, bread-and-salt [traditional Russian sign of hospitality], etc.
