1st official Gallery representation and Radio Interview

Ohh, I can’t believe it happen !

Several month ago I entered few of my Frozen Spring pieces into “All Botanical” competition at Contemporary Art Gallery Online and to my absolute delight.. I won!

Certificate of Contemporary Art Gallery Special Choice award for Frozen Spring art

Certificate of Special Juror Choice award from Contemporary Art Gallery Online for Frozen Spring art

As usual, with my luck, everything started with confusion, when first judges gave me 1st place in the paintings category. As much as I am flattered that my ice photography is mistaken for the water color paintings, I did had to insist that they would review their selection.

As part of the prize package, my series are now represented by Contemporary Art Gallery Online and you can see them in their official catalog.

Spring time from Frozen Spring collection

“Spring Time” — print on aquarelle rag paper which got me Special Juror choice award.

Another prize was an online radio interview. First ever interview, I was quite scared to tell you the truth, not knowing how to prepare or what to say. Thankfully Michael was very easy to talk to and made me feel.. semi-relaxed 🙂 Interview was recorded last month and aired last saturday. However, it took me few days to pull myself together to actually listen to it.

Zinchik’s World Photography

“So she had to satisfy herself with the idea of love — loving the loving of things whose existence she didn’t care at all about. Love itself became the object of her love. She loved herself in love, she loved loving love, as love loves loving, and was able, in that way, to reconcile herself with a world that fell so short of what she would have hoped for. It was not the world that was the great and saving lie, but her willingness to make it beautiful and fair, to live a once-removed life, in a world once-removed from the one in which everyone else seemed to exist.”

– Everything is Illuminated, Jonathan Safran Foer
