MARIA'S STORY
My grandmother told me a family legend about
the artist of the Paris school - Pinchus Kremen. That this artist was the lover
of her mother - my great-grandmother-in Israel during world war II.
She hinted that she might be the child of love
and art. I don't know if it's true that she's the child of this relationship
and I'm also the descendant.
But I can say unequivocally that my impulses to
draw in the environment of my grandmother were encouraged. She still looks at
me with sly eyes when I talk about my exhibitions and it makes me feel warm.
My parents did not encourage this, but
according to the traditions of Jewish families: "the word of the eldest
mother is the law."
Still, I have the art education I wanted.
Grow up.
I don't communicate with my parents. I left the
city for the village - the birthplace of Pinchus Kremen-Stomach in Belarus.
In addition to drawing, I work as a teacher at
an art school. And here's what's great, I have a place in my office to remember
my "guardian angel"," ancestor " - Pinchus. I conduct
excursions for adults about it and invent fairy tales for children.
I don't know how true this story is, but I
still have an inspiration in life - that drawing is my purpose and vocation.
My rebellious spirit, hungry for protest, is
transformed in art into everything from expressionism to abstractionism.
I want not just to draw, but to carry the
sacred meaning of what is happening to life on the principle: you know yourself,
you know the world.
From your audience, please: stay longer, look,
feel. Everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance.
