"Dandelion". About the painting

dandelion savago lome sketch "The dandelion is a perennial, herbaceous plant with long, lance-shaped leaves. They're so deeply toothed, they gave the plant its name in Old French: Dent-de-lion means lion's tooth in Old French."

dandelion sketch The idea came to me spontaneously as always, burst in the night and would not let me sleep until I got up and made a sketch. I woke up in the morning, took a sheet with a sketch and began to think what could come from it, and what this whole thing could mean. The more I thought, the stronger my desire to start painting growth, because I found this idea genious)

I am a dandelion with seed head, it's still summer time and fall is not coming soon, but I have blossomed and my head is full of seeds, and I wait until the wind picks up patachutes and scatter them around. They will have a long journey, and they will have to bravely fight to succeed in ground, root and become the beginning of a new life.

Now imagine that the seeds are ideas growing out of the heads. They need to catch the wind that blew them around so some of them have found their place in this world and become material.

Even if winter comes, dandelions will not die, and as soon as they feel the summmer's coming again they will grow, even if put an asphalt surface above sooner or later they will beat it.

"Unless you remove it completely, it will regenerate. If you break off more pieces than you unearth, the dandelion wins. "What's a dandelion digger for?" a dandelion asked.
"Itís a human invention to help us reproduce," another dandelion replied."

"The Study of tile"

When I look at the clouds, I love looking at their shape and think what they remind me of like animals, people, boats and etc. Children so often do this... So I have a habit since my childhood and I apply this to any pattern or random lines to see the concrete forms. And "The shower" is an example.

It is unique because it has no intention or a long search for forms, there is nothing, absolutely nothing invented by me. This picture was painted directly from the marble tiles in my bathroom. The picture has only my view on the pattern on tiles , which remind me of two human figures...

"Destiny leading"

Savago Lome Destiny leading This painting I saw in my night dream when I was sleeping. I saw the man, the big man like a montain. His right arm looked like a camel. There were people, horse and camels around. They were small like toys. It felt like the man was leading those people.

I remember especially well the expression of his face. it was so tranquil, wise and sensible. Was it God, or maybe the arm of destiny, or my husband, who's leading me through.

"The horn is a tree trunk
growing from a cow".

Similarly to the baby that grow in a womb
during 9 months, the idea in my imagination has been bore for more than
15 months. As well as the baby is born on
light (head appears first, then body, hands
and legs), the picture is drawn by the parts, and only when all of the parts
appear together then picture starts to
"breathe".

Finally I've finished the painting above which all my essence in appearance of Savago Lome has been working for more than 15 months. Ideas always suddenly invade my subconscious. It is likely to come when I least expect it. But every idea takes its time to be understood how to serve it on a dish to spectator. And what cover to choose to this dish.

I noticed I've had sympathy to cows since my very childhood. It's not just love to animals. Like Indian people idolize this animal I extol a cow as an animal full of harmony, love and patience. There is some a secret in the cow. But it is so natural and simple, that the secret disappears and blurs around of it like thin smoke. Why I
have such a feeling to this animal? In order to find the answer I should address to my childhood.

I grew in my nice Siberian city with the senior sister. She was my best friend and my best enemy at the same time. I don't see anything strange because only the most dear people, and first of all it is family, allow us to test both feelings: a rage and a happiness. In our childhood we (me and my sister) very often fought and quarreled. I stuck to her like bees on honey. We were opposite to each other like plus and minus. Her calmness and patience only warmed up my super energy. And I did everything to win her attention. Her constant calmness, the cold and indifferent obstinacy, patience also irritated me and admired. As well as all children we teased each other. Sometimes I called her cow, because her zodiac was Taurus. But I said this
word with sincere love to her. Just like in the eastern countries it's considered a compliment to compare a woman with a snake ("You're wise like a snake").
The name of the painting is"Horn of Plenty".

What is horn of plenty?

a)A goat's horn overflowing with fruit,
flowers, and grain, signifying prosperity.

b)Greek Mythology The horn of the goat
that suckled Zeus, which broke off and
became filled with fruit. In folklore, it
became full of whatever its owner desired.

I should notice that my horn of plenty is
totally different from all above. It is
possible even to lower that fact that my
horn belongs to the cow. My horn is alive.
It grows and bears apples.

I have very interesting sensation around
the top of my head when I'm falling asleep
at night. I can feel a breeze like there is
invisible gate at the top which is open.
Could it be the channel of filling by ideas
and energy? In the other words I can feel like a tree's growing from my head.

So I've got one more name related to my artwork, the idea's name. It goes just like this "The horn is a tree trunk growing from a cow".
