Santiago Schoolgirls

Santiago Schoolgirls

My inspiration came from my visit to Cuba where I met these 4 schoolgirls in their uniforms (primary schools, secondary schools, students etc all wear their own uniform). In the harbour of Santiago de Cuba I saw these girls sitting on the “C” of the full-name CUBA. They were so photogenic and proud that a picture was taken from them! I’d give a million to see their faces when they come across this painting!

Village Girls 1

Village Girls 1

When I was a child I visited my grandma during my vacation in a small village in Russia. I was very interested in rural life and watched the women working on the cornfields. Young women worked very hard and life was kind of tough and they were poor. Nevertheless they were singing and dreaming about their future. I tried to show the different characters of Russian girls and how they were a group of girlfriends helping eachother through tough times.

You migth think these girls are elfs from the lord of the rings coming out of the mysterious forest....Actually they are Belarus girls who have harvested fresh berries during the early morning. They will probably make marmelade from them. I was always fascinated by the country live in one of the countries where I lived and this was my inspiration for this painting.

It was a stunningly beautiful day. For several kilometers along the coast, kite surfers slid on the water. Just as the North Sea plays with colors, the wind plays with multicolored kites.
See, sand and sun, all playing a role in a wunderful day!

On a nice sunday when it was extremely windy and the waves were high, I saw these surfers struggling in the waves, tired from their session in the icy cold North Sea water. The kite surfers were making big jumps which was very spectacular. The North Sea...it's such a great place to be!
