Art is a mirror: sometimes it reflects the mood of the era in which the artist lives, sometimes carries a message in the future, and sometimes is a reflection of his/her soul. Today, I propose you to join me to my world of art reflecting what is important to me.

First things first
It is difficult for me to describe the feeling of unity and incredible connection that I feel for @everlove. She is the one who I need to thank for starting this collage. She is not only the subject of my constant inspiration, but also a person who in my understanding fully realizes her greatest potential and makes it with boundless love for people. It is thanks to her initiative called Collaborative Art Journey this Sunday morning I create an art collage to support this wonderful moment. If you want to know more about this project, read Collaborative Art Journey..."FROZEN IN TIME" No. 27.

1+1= more than 2
For me, this has always been true simply because I most often look at the world from the (a) spiritual perspective. And in this world, 1 person and 1 person are always more than just the sum of it. I always support projects in which people unite in order to move towards one goal. I especially like to support projects aimed at manifesting creativity (as I consider it to be one of the important driving forces of human development), spiritual development, as well as developing a person's understanding of the world and HARMONIC co-existence with it. Therefore, I wholeheartedly support the following projects on Steemit:
Collaborative Art Journey by @everlove ARTstyleART Contest by @aksinya and communities such as @gardenofeden and recently started @ecotrain
Why did I name my work “A happy woman”?
For me, it is primarily an axiom of a happy life. Without happy women, happy children and men are not possible. Without happy children, a happy future on planet Earth is impossible. So she is the starting point.
Unfortunately, in the West, there is a tendency when a woman simply lives to survive and I barely see there a really happy woman (woman). We have so many responsibilities that it's just impossible to find time to just rest, not to mention spending time doing nothing or what we like. And even if we have time, we cannot always focus solely on ourselves - the “to do list” in our heads does not help to be relaxed.
Traveling in Asia, I catch myself on the fact that it's me - who is hurrying faster than everyone, it's me who is trying to calculate everything up to a second because if something is delayed, I will not have time to do this and that. It is just almost not possible for me to stop acting as I got used to. Thanks (thankfully) I have time to figure out the other (another) way.
So each day I'm learning from local women. I study their relax(ed) way of doing things, their calm gait and always a friendly smile, which makes you feel so good. As if they have some depth in th , as if they know a secret to a happy life.
And this work I dedicate to them - wise, incredibly calm and relaxed women of the East. In the hope that we, modern Western women will be able to know the depth of this force, which seems to be frozen in time* but shining through them so bright!
*Here I refer to the belief that once on Earth it was women who was (were) the primal force and the world was very balanced. After certain time men became the prevailing force so it became a part of the past. So I used frozen in time as a metaphor for this state.
And when all the words are already said, I simply share with you the process of creating this collage.
I support @ecotrain project, which also use #ecotrain. I want to believe that more and more people will start to think about things that help to make the world a better place. (с)@ecotrain. I also hope that more and more writers on Steemit will support the movement started by @eco-alex and @icmultitudes . As I truly believe that we are one and helping others means you are helping yourself.
We continue our excursion into the wonder-world of a small settlement located in the town of Vidracco, in Piedmont, Italy. In my last post-Damanhur - con te * a new world or an amazing art and eco-community in Italy Part 1 I described the story of my acquaintance with this amazing place, and today I would like to continue with the story of my visit there. This story has admiration for completely different things, which I did not expect at all, a bit also disillusioning from my blind love to it. Mostly it is a reflection of my experience of interaction with this place. Read more
Joanne Rowling, Carl Jung, Ray Dalio (American billionaire, founder of the investment company Bridgewater Associates), as well as California Governor Jerry Brown, Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan - what unites these people? It's hard to believe, but many of them consider periods of silence they practice as a huge factor in their success. Read more
