Мир света и любви (2022) Painting by Nataliia Mashkina

Born May 21, 1970. All my childhood was spent in hospitals with gloomy corridors and dark walls, which I constantly tried to paint. I remember it all my life: I was three years old when my doctor (with a very memorable surname - Hot) said to me very seriously, looking straight into my eyes: & # 34; - You are already big and should know that you were born ... special , and you will most likely live to be a princess, but you will never be a queen. Believe in miracles and try to enjoy even such a life." It was not easy to rejoice when something constantly hurts you. But everything can be learned if there is someone to live for! I have been forever grateful to my first doctor. It was the realization that life could end at any moment that filled it with real meaning. Every day, every moment, I stubbornly wanted to have time to make this world kinder, happier and brighter. Physically, sports saved me. And in the spiritual and moral - painting and literature. I went to a sports school and took up handball, and later boxing, at the same time I entered a fine arts studio, a music school for vocals, and a literary studio (I wrote prose and poetry). Life gains real value when you live each day as if it were your last. My mother was my Guardian Angel and most devoted friend. Probably it was her prayers and love that did not allow me to stay ... at the age of a princess. My whole life is a struggle for this very life through pain and constant work. All my painting is a hymn of joy and love for this world. That is why, the more trials I had on my way, the more I wanted to add colors of joy to the surrounding reality. Thus was born my "Universe without evil", naive, childishly magical, kind and fabulous. A world in which everyone is happy, sincere and beautiful. And the inspirers were the most magical creatures - the elves of our cynical world - cats, which in recent years we were destined to save from the world of people. This is how it is - my picturesque Universe without evil :-)
