I would like to ask you, my friends, where do you get ideas for creativity? When I think of something new and start the process of creation, the beginning never goes smoothly. Thoughts always get into my head. So, they interrupt one another that it is necessary to do so, and then, another thought says to do it differently, and it will be more interesting and correct. The beginning of creation is not an easy stage. I always watch the work of other artisans, even in other fields of creativity. Maybe I want to find something, which will make a great thing? I don't know... I can't even answer myself. Once, long ago, I did the same, and happened to find paintings by famous artist Galina Chuvilyaeva.
Galina Chuvilyaeva lives in Saint Petersburg. There are several series of paintings among her works. For example, "Ballet", "Cats are our Friends". Of course, the series that became the most famous is called "Solar Angel: Guardian of Earthly Happiness." Galina Chuvilyaeva is an artist, jeweler, Member of the Union of Designers. Her paintings delight me, I'm just like a child who sees something unusual and begins to enjoy it genuinely, without hiding feelings and emotions. All her works with angels are so magnificent, unique, touching, and naive. All angel in the collection of the artist are different and similar at the same time. They look alike not only outside, but also inside, with their sincere kindness, which they radiate and which the artist is able to convey in their look. Kindness comes from every angel. I even got myself a folder in which I collect all the photos of her paintings with red angels, that's how much I love them. There are so many of them that I just do not count. How talented the artist is! Angels are like her children. They all fly away at the speed of light in the form of paintings, magnets, souvenirs... Everyone who has seen at least once such an angel, will never give up the idea to buy it. In our understanding there is an Angel of the Lord. But he's different. Angels by Galina are just naive kids. Tousled, with cats, flowers, houses, dogs, sunflowers, in hats and without them, one with a horseshoe, the other with a chick, lovebirds, in aprons, dresses. But they are still angels because they bring kindness into our world. Paintings, which depict two angels, have unearthly love, they are so touching, hold each other so carefully. Every angel for me causes different thoughts, memories, dreams. I want to take such an angel and hug him. Or vice versa, to cuddle up to him?
I also have one dream, idea, thought, call it as you want, to knit such an angel. Well, what happens, we'll find out later. So, to be continued. Meanwhile, I want to show you some of them. I am sure that you will not be indifferent and will also fall in love with them, like me.
Here they are, Solar Angels:
