"Crimea travels: NAOMA"
The exhibition with this name took place at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Kyiv. Canvases by Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian artists were presented here. Thanks to paintings, videos and folk music created by professionals, the main theme of the exhibition is embodied - Crimea with its landscapes, nature, cities and people.
Shlyakh / Yol - a project about the culture of Crimea and the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture present the exhibition "Crimea Travels: NAOMA". This is stated on the project's Facebook page.
"When we can't visit our dream place for a long time, we try to see dear images and hear familiar sounds. After all, thanks to them we feel closeness and involvement again, as if we are traveling not only in our own imagination, but also in reality. Emotions, landscapes, states of nature, streets and houses - all contain paintings. A short moment of life that pulsates uncontrollably is captured and recorded on them. True videos, shot from a bird's eye view, evoke in us a feeling beyond time and space, breathtaking. Music is a language understood by all. Even without knowing the words of the song, we feel its mood, and we pass this state through the resonator of our own soul, ”say the organizers of the project.

Here are paintings by Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian artists: Medzhit Reshitov, Oles Solovyov, Anatoly Zorko, Elmira Shemsedynova, Andriy Chebotar and paintings by four Crimean artists from private collections.
"I am always very proud that my paintings are in the walls of the National Academy of Fine Arts. It was difficult for my family to say goodbye to Crimea. I brought a small album with sketches to Kyiv and decided to recreate them on canvas in a special technique with oil paints. It depicts landscapes quite typical for the Crimea: cypresses, the sea coast, cacti…, ”Crimean Tatar artist Elmira Shemsedynova told Suspilne Crimea.
Ukrainian ceramist Rustem Skybin noted that due to their work, the Crimean Tatar people have the opportunity to show the love for the Crimea, which they nurtured in themselves while living on the peninsula.
"I hope that in the near future, more Crimean Tatar artists will show you their paintings, because Crimea is Ukraine", - Rustem Skybin said, a representative of the Association of Crimean Tatar Artists.
Visitors to the exhibition will also see the premiere of unique videos from the Crimean peninsula, shot from a bird's eye view in August-October 2021.
Everyone will be able to "fly" over Bakhchisarai, Alushta, Feodosia, Yalta and other cities of Crimea and enjoy the exhibition of landscapes of the Crimean Tatar community from November 23 to December 15, 2021.
