For a long time it was believed that the culture of winemaking in the form in which we know it today was finally formed just in the era of ancient Rome, but it turns out that it was borrowed by them from the ancient Greeks, who learned about this drink long before the appearance of Roman legionnaires ... In ancient Greece, the appearance of this alcoholic drink was associated with the satyr Ampelos, a devoted friend of the god of winemaking Dionysus. One day a satyr fell off a cliff and crashed. God missed him very much and asked the great Zeus to return his faithful companion.
A powerful celestial being turned the deceased into a vine, which began to bear fruit, and the drink from them resembled divine nectar. Subsequently, wine, a gift from Olympus, became a symbol of vitality.

My name is Anna Shabalova and I`m full-time and independent professional artist from Ukraine. In many of my works, you will find kind of surreal stories filled with positive imagery, vibrant colors, and unexpected details, in which my personal view of such a rich world around us is reflected. With the help of different images in my paintings, I conduct a dialogue with the audience, often touch upon important social topics, but I speak in positive key. That`s why customers like to participate in such dialogues so much. I consider myself a multi-dimensional artist as my primary painting style is surrealistic. Every day I look around me, and I find many subjects for my works. Often, nature inspires me: I like to take, as a basis for my paintings, the elements of flora and fauna, the images that seemed to us so familiar, and fill them with a completely different meaning! I know that I always have something to tell people, and with the help of my art, I create my own picture of the world. My artworks are found in private collections in the USA, Israel, Europe, and Ukraine. Among my works, customers will find that special painting that will perfectly decorate their interior.
