Kupidon cafe and bookshop

Friday, December 5th, 2008

This little coffee place in the basement of Prorizna and Pushkinska also has a well stocked bookshop. Loved browsing there one day when I snapped this image.

Everybody in expat community knowns of Inna Panteleymonova art

My current inspiration comes from Caro Niederer’s landscapes that she presents in the context of her living environment.

Oxana Mas is one hot selling pancake in the US art market, a creative young Ukrainian artist, some describe her art more as interior design, but it totally fits my “living with your art” concept.

And finally take a look at the new work by Jeremy Lipking.
