Lucid Mind of an Ordinary Woman-Paintings

  « Sasha's Gallery

(Oil & Acrylic Paintings)

Lucid Mind of an Ordinary Woman-Paintings The question of existence visits me quite often. Like a muse, it lingers around infuriating currents of thoughts, they weave around each other, contradicting and agreeing, urging me to create. How can I ignore their persuasive requests? To deny them would drive me mad.

Erratic images clutter my psyche, ready to be spilled out contumaciously. My beautiful and cruel muse possesses me; it utterly controls my mind now.

I am in limbo of a dream. Or did I just wander into a different realm? Nothing exists any longer but brushes filled with color, shapes, figures, lines... All that was brewing inside, flowing steadily onto the canvases. Colors and shapes, figures and lines... Images whose origin I don't want to know. All is magically coming to a crescendo in front of my very eyes.

I feel released. I am ready to wake up. My amazing, brilliant Muse smiles its' mischievous smile, "I will see you again very soon."

"What is it?," you say, "This is not real!"

"Well," I reply," then what is?"

I'm here somewhere. Deep behind these walls. I build them quickly with the fortifications YOU provided. But sometimes I wonder. Sifting through the layers. Who am I really, beneath all of these illusions?

Sasha
Sasha was born and raised in a small town in Ukraine, close to the Polish border. Even though she possessed natural talent and was significantly influenced by her father, who was also an artist, her creativity was suppressed by the communist society that surrounded her. It is not until many years later, after moving to San Francisco and meeting her husband Richard, that she was brought back to life as an artist and began her creative journey anew.

Although educated and certified in several lucrative fields such as oil production and computer networking, Sasha has turned all aspects of her life toward a creative path. With little formal training, she applies her talent and passion to various forms of visual communication. Her brightly colored and vivid creations can be found in various private collections throughout the western United States. Sasha releases her creativity through many media including Digital graphics, oil on canvas, photography, mixed media, pen and ink, charcoal, pencil and sculpture.

Sasha is now running her own graphic design company in the beautiful Colorado foothills, where she also lives with her husband Richard and son Evan. When not creating for her self or clients, she teaches private art classes to children and adults while making plenty of time to be a loving and caring wife and mother.
