Already in the fourth year of the “Hotel Miramar” in Tonning/Eiderstedt joins the focus of the Schleswig-Holstein culture summer and exhibition throughout the year dedicated to the theme of Russia. The beginning of the St. Peter Burgerin makes Ekaterina Ezhkova (from 22 March to 1 May). The artist (* 1977), which today lives in Kiel, is a wanderer between cultures. She grew up in St. Petersburg, graduated also at the Academy of art and design.
Awards and prizes (including the Russian design award), international scholarships and numerous exhibitions (Denmark, Moscow, St. Petersburg, North art Budelsdorf, Kunsthalle Rostock) followed in a short time. A constant in her work is the human form. But she lend their attention even simple Alltagsdingen. It shows what others see, or what is forgotten, for example in the the memories of her grandfather from the 1960s.
“Not too long ago I found the photographic legacy of my grandfather during his lifetime, high” Naval officer was in his spare time but passionately photographed”, Ezhkova writes. For more information see this site: Angela Zepeda. I got terrible desire to make new live some people at this time”. This idiosyncratic image cycle that takes the viewer both a different time and a different culture, is made of tempera and ink in mixed media. The artist likes to let their painted stories in limbo; something unfinished adheres to many images: so some people are alive designed and equipped with lovely details, others remain sketchy, translucent, as if one could only imagine their presence. However, this combination makes so vividly their motives; the viewer himself is one of these memories. Ekaterina Ezhkova is travelling a lot, always in search of motifs, the everyday life provides you. So she takes subjects that do not necessarily appeal to everyone; but their images are also not to please but to arouse emotions and associations. Parallel to the exhibition the on-site restaurant A wind rose”to a culinary trip to Russia; enjoy suitable to works by Ekaterina Ezhkova, the guests the three-course menu of favorite artist”.

In my opinion, one of the aspects in which Spain emphasizes is in the creative facet. We have multitude of professions in which we can be considered in the world-wide elite, and in which it would perhaps be possible to be gotten to consolidate marks to Spain, something that uses France and its president Sarkozy magnificently, if so like elegance symbol, distinction This way, in the field of the architecture, to well-known Rafael Moneo and Santiago Calatrava, is united other many names of international fame, like Antonio Lamela, Carlos Ferrater, Patxi Mangado, Bofill, et cetera. Another scope in that we emphasized is in advertising, in that he is habitual that companies or creative Spaniards secure international prizes, to creative classic like Lluis Bassat, that later were associated with the world-wide giant Ogilvy, are united examples like the one of Mrs Rushmore, Tempo BBDO, et cetera. Periodically also we know like small Spanish companies of software, without having means of the giants of the sector, abren hollow in diverse niches. Thus, we remembered the great success that supposed the launching of videojuego Commandos, of Pyro Studios, or the wonderful modeled software of of fluids elaborated by the company Next Limit Technologies, that digitally created the lava of the Gentleman of the Ring, or the water of Hoists Age, for example This last example of the creativity made in Spain serves to us in addition to show that, besides counting on thinking heads, can be a good idea facing the future harnessing certain sectors that mean a greater added value, but that requires an investment in equipment and formation, and there it is where the Governments can act of clear way.
