VOGLIA DI SOLE

T

E' un periodo in cui, complice la fine dell'inverno ed i primi tepori primaverili, la voglia di mare, calore, ritmi blandi e giornate lunghe si impossessa della mente. 

E' cosi' che mi capita di imbattermi in questi video, a tutti gli effetti degli short-movie, in cui i dipinti onirici ed i colori sgargianti ben si amagamano ad una musica intimista e raffinata. Buona visione !

Paintings by Evgeni Gordiets

Evgeni Gordiets is a Soviet-trained contemporary surrealist phenomenon who was scouted at the age of five as a child prodigy. Evgeni attended the National School of Fine Arts; received his Masters Degree in Fine Art from the State University of Fine Arts and his PhD. in Fine Arts from the State Academy of Fine Art, all in Kiev, Ukraine.

After concluding his studies, he joined the National Art University of the Ukraine as a Professor of Art. Gordiets' award-winning work has gained widespread recognition and is held in museum and private collections worldwide. He was honored among his peers in Kiev, where, from 1977 through 1986, he received accolades, awards and grants ranging from a 1st prize in United Nations exhibitions to a Top Artist Achievement Award of the Ukraine.

Gordiets' paintings are pervaded with a profound sense of calm and peace, conveying a longing for eternity and a place of stillness away from our throwaway culture. He creates a serene dream-like atmosphere where quietly magical things happen. "In nature, I find a never-ending source of inspiration."
