Alesia Habovych is a contemporary artist from Kyiv, Ukraine. Passionate about sea she spent a lot of time in her childhood years in Feodosia, Crimea, the native town of famous marine painter Ivan Aivazovskiy. Beautiful nature with its hills and endless seashore of the Black sea for always left a dramatic impression. Alesia graduated with Master’s degree in journalism and has big experience of working in various media projects, but decided to quit it for taking time to make her old dream come true. She is confident that art can make world better and is happy that her paintings bring peace and happiness to European, American and Middle East collectors. ************************************* MY ARTIST STAEMENT The modern world is replete with ideal images of people, interiors, expectations, and decisions. Many of us keep striving for perfection in everything, forgetting that the very concept of "perfect" can only be in theory. That is the reason why we enjoy the ideal image of nature with such a pleasure. Photos, videos, pictures. No one will bite here, no sting, absolute safety. We hang on the wall a refined view of the ocean; take away the moment we like into our fortress. Sea without sand adhering to lips, without stinging jellyfish, without seaweed wrapped around legs, without annoying insects. Similar things had already occurred in the past and are happening right now .We take the shells of the beach, and try to preserve the scent of flowers in our homes. Nowadays development of civilization led to almost absolute eviction of nature out of our megacities. This causes the extreme longing for the environment we are evolved to live in, but that is lost for billions of us. Therefore humanity tends to replace nature with artificially created images involving modern technologies to make them feel more real. Every single time, watching a funny video with animals or hanging a landscape on a wall, playing a relaxing record of surf noise, we join the process that I call Carvinism (This means “carving” a window to the nature using technology or something artificial instead of reaching it in person). I find it very attractive that every person had been involved in it at least several times and we don’t harm nature but just admiring it’s beauty being far away. This is giving rise to understanding the value of every untouched corner of our planet and desire to keep it for ourselves and next generations.
