East of Russia and grew up in Western Ukraine (L`viv region)<\/p>\n<h4>Tell us a little about yourself?<\/h4>\n<p>I am a professional linguist, teacher, model and an artist. Art is my passion though I have discovered it for myself relatively not that long ago \u2013 around 5 years ago.<\/p>\n<h4>How long have you been an EC member?<\/h4>\n<p>I`ve been a member since July 2006<\/p>\n<h4>What\u2019s your favorite piece of art that you have created?<\/h4>\n<p>I love this particular painting called \u201cCup\u201d because it came out very spontaneously and effortlessly. However it radiates with the emotions that I have been experiencing at that time. The core theme is the conflict between a woman and a man and how sometimes love is mistaken for something else.<\/p>\n<h4>What are you working on at the moment?<\/h4>\n<p>I am mainly concentrating on big-size colored ink pen drawings at the moment. In particular, I am reworking a lot of Old Masters` paintings since I`m fascinated by the supremely balanced and graceful lines of their work that is often absent from contemporary works. I should admit that my reinterpretation of their themes does gain a certain angularity &amp; awkwardness but that`s just how I do it. (: After making a drawing on the basis of a painting of one of the Masters, Girodet for example, I feel that I have touched the masterpiece and connected with a great source of lasting inspiration.<\/p>\n<h4>What are your goals for the future, both work wise and life?<\/h4>\n<p>I would like to be more patient and understanding towards others. I would love to maintain an open childish gaze at this world and keep finding harmony in our existence, in spite of all daily tribulations facing us. I would not mind becoming famous one day as an artist but it is not a direct goal for me, it would be more of a side-effect of my creative activity.<\/p>\n<h4>What are you doing when you are not creating? What other hobbies do you have?<\/h4>\n<p>I love reading poetry (recently I reread a Russian poet Anna Akhmatova \u2013 she has wonderful lyrical poems that are punctured quite often with pain of unrequited love), philosophy; translating literary works; watching independent and older European cinema; meeting my friends.<\/p>\n<h4>What would people be surprised to learn about you?<\/h4>\n<p>That I play NY lottery on a weekly basis (:.<\/p>\n<h4>Do you have any favorite blogs that you read?<\/h4>\n<p>http:\/\/solanah.wordpress.com, http:\/\/theburninghouse.com<\/p>\n<h4>Where else do you sell your work?<\/h4>\n<p>online stores and art platforms such as Saatchi Online, art fairs in NYC<\/p>\n<h4>Where else can we find you? (Blog, website, twitter, facebook etc)?<\/h4>\n<p>www.Rohalska.blog spot.com, FB page:http:\/\/on.fb.me\/13tUjt4, http:\/\/selftaughtartist.tumblr.com\/<\/p>\n<h4>What else should we know about you and your work?<\/h4>\n<p>I think we live in beautiful and at the same very conflicting times- a transitional phase where sustaining one`s individuality will become a core obligation of every conscious human being. In my art I explore my inner universe and at the same time reflect on the happenings around me.<\/p>\n<h4>Do you have any tips or inspiring words for others?<\/h4>\n<p>Be always amazing and amazed! Nowadays people sometimes go from day to day without paying attention to the beautiful things surrounding them, deeply absorbed in mundane activities of earning money, making a career etc. You have to view this world as a daily miracle, which it is.<\/p>\n<h4>Do you admire any artists \/ photographers? (Famous or not!)<\/h4>\n<p>Marc Chagall, Amedeo Modigliani.<\/p>\n<h4>What is your favorite:<\/h4>\n<p>Color: Yellow, blue<br \/>\nAnimal: Dog<br \/>\nSeason: Spring<br \/>\nMovie: Requiem for a Dream<br \/>\nBook: \u201cGadfly\u201d by Ethel Lilian Voynich<\/p>\n<h4>Anything else you would like Eurocircle members to know about you?<\/h4>\n<p>I am happy to be able to share my thoughts on the role of creativity in life with you. I hope my artwork brightened up your day or made you look at things from a slightly different angle than before!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet \u2013 Zhanna Rohalska who currently lives in Manhattan as an artist, linguist, teacher and model.
