Few things on Earth can compare in beauty and sophistication with those incredible patterns that frost draws in winter on our windows … No, even the most brilliant artist will ever surpass nature. But he may well rethink it. How, for example, does a Polish artist do it Gosia Wlodarczak.
As part of the Singapore Biennale 2011, this artist presented her project called "Frost Drawings", in which she painted with a marker several glasses and windows in the old building of the Singapore airport (this is where one of the Biennale venues is located).
Of course, she painted them with the help of multi-colored markers, and these drawings themselves, in reality, have little in common with those drawings that appear due to frost in winter on the windows. But this is precisely the artistic rethinking of the mentioned phenomenon of Gosei Wlodarczyk.
If you look closely at these lines she left on the glass, you can see certain drawings in the seeming chaos. They intersect with each other, climb one-on-one, so that the result is a "mess". But, in fact, they all make up a clear system.
Indeed, in these drawings Gosya Wlodarchik depicts various images, scenes typical of the Slavic mentality. Everything about them is built on archetypes. Thus, the artist wants to present in Singapore a Slavic Europe, which is little known in this part of the world.
Yes, and frost on the glasses does not draw patterns there!

But Peter did not dawn out of the blue: before him, at least three queens were actively interested in Europe and carried European trends to Russia (and their husbands)

In which houses of St. Petersburg you can see unique historical stained-glass windows today
Some of the front doors of St. Petersburg are famous for their magnificent stained-glass windows, each of which is unique. This is the real wealth of the northern capital, which deserves special attention. You look at the windows with such vivid pictures - and it seems that the former owners of the houses ordered this beauty specifically in order to cheer themselves up during the rainy gray days. However, they say that they were created just to "disguise" dull, unsightly courtyards. There are no houses with stained-glass windows in St
