"Under the sky alone ..." Automatic translate

In 2019, 25 years of creativity in the emigration of the artist and poet Ulyana Sheremetyeva are celebrated. Creativity in emigration is a complex process that combines search and opposition, spiritual connection with the Motherland and rethinking of traditions, and also an attempt to win the hearts of another public. One of the pages of the artist’s diverse work was a series of decorative still lifes “Under a single sky…”

The exposition “Under the One Sky…” is, first of all, a declaration of love for life and the desire to capture its amazing diversity. Each work of the series is a frame. But together they make up a colorful mosaic of an associative picture of the world - human being in time and space, his connection with nature and the inexhaustible energy of creativity. The works are united by one technique - tempera on paper, and represent three thematic series: Workshop, Travel, Nature.

“… Travel still lifes, in contrast to travel sketches, sketches, and photographs that almost supplanted them now, are an unusual thing. About distant lands we are told not by landscapes, but by objects - evidence of a particular cultural environment created by its bearers. The artist makes her journeys mentally, for the objects for her are not dead nature, but quite alive, having its own aura, able to share its secrets and stories. … Her still lifes have a valuable decorative effect… where every brushstroke, every bunch of color splashes the fullness of life, a holiday of involvement in the elements of life. ”

Natalia Anikina, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation,
Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts
