Cette scène «Happiness» est sweet et magic.
Bravo et Merci Oxana pour ce partage où le rêve et la douceur sont à l'honneur.
I've been meaning to complement Zaika's almost signature work, these cute smiling cats. We don't normally think of this as "great art". It's "cartoons", it's "decorative", it's "just cute."
But think about that for a bit. Art that makes us feel sorrow, anger, triumph, anxiety ... those we recognize as great art. Pretty pictures of people, places, things, we see as great art. Things that make us feel nothing, but "thought the essential nature of art," and other high-sounding mental processes, we call great art. But something cute, pretty, humorous, cheerful, something that makes us happy ... that's NOT great art???
Zaika's work is not just pretty, cute, entertaining, amusing ... it's skillfully, complexly, unremittingly, unhesitatingly pretty, cute, etc. It "boldly challenges our basic assumptions about art!"
The "Art World" is too full of stodgy, stuff-shirts putting on airs of grandeur to recognize who is really in need of having their prejudices challenged.
Zaika's art is great. It assaults the viewer with sweetness and moves them to a nicer, happier, healthier place and mind.
So pleased when I first found a cat portrait by Zaika and recognized the skill and unrestrained positivity on display. Opened her collection of offered works and entered a world of beauty and love of the visual experience. The art establishment would much rather see something messy and dark or something bleak and barren of content that could distract from the reality of it all ... This is an art too sublime for them. In a world already too often too grim, this is a view beyond that at the possibility of a better world, a world to aspire to.
I am a huge fan of your work!!! Been purchasing your originals and simply obsessed with it. Can't wait to see what is new.

Wow ! C'est magnifique ! Bravo et Merci infiniment pour ces beaux partages pleins de douceur, de couleurs et de magie. ☺ ♥
Прекрасная позитивная работа!
Quel univers riche en imagination et en couleurs !
Bonjour Oxana! Quelle merveille des couleurs et des contes à portée de vos mains que l'on s'empresse de dévorer des yeux et du coeur! Bravo Oxana! Quelle merveille!
Les couleurs d'oxana Zaïka respirent le parfum de nos souvenirs et âmes; tantôt d'enfant, tantôt de nos spiritualités ou de voyageur. La minutie du trait et la foison des symboles appellent à se retrouver soi. Un instant bienveillant, une touche de beauté et d'humanité unique comme lorsqu'on papouille son chat.
