Childhood Dreams - part 2 - with the beautiful paintings of Dima Dmitriev

Dima Dmitriev was born in Moscow, Russia, and is the second generation of artists in his family. He moved to Prague, Czech Republic, where he graduated from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design. As his paintings gained attention and praise at fine art exhibitions throughout Europe, Dima became one of the most talked about young artists living in Prague's flourishing artistic community. Dmitriev has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Europe, North America, and Asia.
 
Dmitriev's paintings represent forms of "visual paradise". He describes this as the process of extracting the color, light, and texture from real places and distilling these onto his canvases as idealized worlds. Dima rarely uses a brush. His preferred tool is the palette knife. Dmitriev also adds depth and color saturation to some of his works by starting with black, rather than the traditional white, canvas. Dima's Impressionistic composition and style combined with his mastery of the palette knife create oil paintings that are vibrant and sculptural. His works often include themes of childhood, nature and the sea. Numerous institutions including AT&T, Vodafone, or AWD Holding AG have acquired his paintings for their art collections. His works are also in private collections in the Czech Republic, United States, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Australia, Qatar, and the Dominican Republic and others.

The Unknown Dreams from My Childhood

The Unknown Dreams from My Childhood - the melodies from the time when I couldn't play and when I didn't know how the notes sounded, but I loved writing the music notes and imagined their beauty.
I have recently found the sheets with these melodies and combined them in one place – Unknown Dreams from My Childhood with Videos. I hope you'll like it.

It is really an amazing feeling to see and feel your unknown dreams in reality :-) Dreams are very powerful! We only have to believe in them and work for them, too! :-)

Have a beautiful new week, friends and don't forget to follow your dreams!

HERO

Special Poem for All of YOU - HERO by Dimi Gineva

HERO

In everyone lies a little Hero, who just
tries to make us believe, hope and love
‘cause the things that move the world forward are
Faith, Hope and Love
This strength, this fire is in yourself
You must just believe!
Don’t give up! You are strong to survive
You are strong to get over
You are the Hero
In yourself burns a little flame of Hope, which must be
kindled
to shine on and
warm your heart
When you don’t have
luck and you are sad, alas
Don’t ever
lose Faith, Hope and Love
You are the Hero
If you just Believe, Hope and Love
You are strong to get over
You are strong to survive
Every cloud has a silver lining
You must just discover it
You must just believe!
The beauty lies inside yourself
The Hero lies in you!

Intarsia – wood art by Nina Antonova

My next video created for the lovely Nina and her art
Intarsia – wood art by Nina Antonova

“Intarsia is a woodworking technique that uses varied shapes, sizes, and species of wood fitted together to create a mosaic-like picture with an illusion of depth. Intarsia is created through the selection of different types of wood, using their natural grain pattern and color (but can involve the use of stains and dyes) to create variations in the pattern. After selecting the specific woods to be used within the pattern, each piece is then individually cut, shaped, and finished” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intarsia)

Change with video

Change - we should always strive to improve and develop ourselves, not to sit at one place, but move, move forward...and strive to be better and better :-) The moment when we stop moving, we degrade in every sense of the word, because – Life is movement and movement is life. That’s why running water doesn’t smell bad, because it is in constant motion. And the stagnant water in the swamps gets mould and bad smell.

***Thanks a lot to Sonia McClain for the beautiful photos

Ted n' Doris ......... A Northern Romance

The Sunshines of Our Love

The road is long and narrow
but love will keep us surviving
love will gives wings to fly
love will show us the light
When is dark and cold
love will shine on our road
and warm our souls

Love will give us light and warmth
love will make us tough and strong
Tough and strong to the life's fight
we are, we are together
Brightness and warmth,
tenderness and strength
are the sunshines, the sunshines of our Love!
