Haiku and the Budist monk

I love Japanese haiku poetry...in a few words can be said a lot...
Some  MATSUO BASHO haiku.

I like to wash,
the dust of this world
In the droplets of dew.

Won't you come and see
loneliness? Just one leaf
from the kiri tree.




moonless night...
a powerful wind embraces
the ancient cedars




speaking out
my lips are cold
in autumn wind


a strange flower
for birds and butterflies
the autumn sky


Such a poetry so good in autumn...




And I add one of my graphic works,done very many years ago...

Nostalgia

This painting was born inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky film NOSTALGIA....I felt nostalgic for my own country,language,culture...and I watched this film...how well I could understand Tarkovsky,who emigrated to Italy and felt so drawn back to his native Russian roots...nothing couldn`t give him that energy ,that life,which he left in his homeland.
This is a poem from A.Tarkovsky film STALKER,by Arseny  Tarkovsky,father of the famous film director

Now the summer has passed.
It might never have been.
It is warm in the sun,
But it isn’t enough.

All that might’ve occurred 
Like a five-fingered leaf
Fluttered into my hands, 
But it isn’t enough.

Neither evil nor good
Has yet vanished in vain, 
It all burned and was light,
But it isn’t enough.

Life has been as a shield,
And has offered protection.
I have been most fortunate,
But it isn’t enough.

The leaves were not burned.
The boughs were not broken,
The day clear as glass, 
But it isn’t enough.
   
                    by Arseny Tarkovsky

Blue Garden

My favorite color-blue...and three birds in the corner...Number three also have symbolic meaning.

A quote from http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/3.html  says-

All things that are specially complete are stamped with this number three.
God's attributes are three: omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence.
There are three great divisions completing time--past, present, and future.
Three persons, in grammar, express and include all the relationships of mankind.
Thought, word, and deed, complete the sum of human capability.
Three degrees of comparison complete our knowledge of qualities.
The simplest proposition requires three things to complete it; viz., the subject, the predicate, and the copula.
Three propositions are necessary to complete the simplest form of argument--the major premiss, the minor, and the conclusion.
Three kingdoms embrace our ideas of matter--mineral, vegetable, and animal.

Sea lions in the garden

Just some more colors and movement...more of dance of life...

more of Paradise Gardens

Here are some more of my series of paintings about Paradise gardens...It is where animals,flowers ,plants-everything is  free from material world rules and colors are vivid and bright, it is like a  flow  of life.

Mystical city

Here is my  not so new painting called MYSTICAL CITY..we all have a whole world in our hearts...And we have just to be brave enough to wake that world inside us to be ready to show it into reality .Spiritual world and real ,material world are not so far away...sometimes these two worlds come close to each other and blend one into another.Our inner world goes out and the new artwork has been born.

PLAYING WITH DIGITAL...

The quick way of making some art-is to play with Photoshop...Here are some of my sketches with Photoshop...

Abstract composition

Here I have  an abstract composition of bright colors and round shapes...It is like a meadow with flowers and plants ,a symphony of nature life...Again,W.Kandinsky talked about abstract art with words of deep understanding-

Of all  the arts ,abstract paintings is most difficult.It demands that you know how to draw well,that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors and that you be a true poet.This last is essential.

Paradise garden

My recent work is about imaginary landscape,world of unearthly beauty and freedom.In my PARADISE GARDEN animals are free and colors are an expression of  spiritual side of things.Blue color-is the color of the  high sky and deep oceans and seas...color of the violets and forget-me-nots...I can`t say better about mystery of creating art as W.Kandinsky once said  -
The true work of art  is born from the artist -a mysterious,enigmatic and mystical creation.It detaches himself from him,it acquires  an autonomous life,becomes a personality,an independent subject,animated with a spiritual breath,the living subject of a real existence of being.

The new begining

This new blog is going to be as the new beginning  for me.Let`s get started...
