On a night when the sky breathes silver,

and the moon wears the face of an old sage,

a path between worlds opens

in the heart of the ancient forest.

There, where the flowers burn in colors of flame,

people gather in a circle.

They do not simply dance —

they for memory into movement,

the song of their ancestors still humming in the roots.

The fire does not burn — it nourishes.

Its tongues are like petals of red poppies,

and the smoke rises, weaving into the stars,

calling forth spirits from the shadows.

And those from the forest —

not of flesh and bone,

but of mist, wind, and ancient dreams —

stand among the trees,

watching in silence, with knowing eyes.

They, too, once danced here,

beneath this same sky, on this same earth.

The moon smiles from above,

blessing the rite of reunion —

between what was and what is.

For on this night,

the veil fades,

and all becomes one:

fire, flowers, people, spirits, sky.

About the artist Oleksandra Horscroft

I was born in 1967 in the Soviet Union, which generally surprised me, because I dreamed of being born a princess and not a pioneer. Therefore, my entire childhood was imbued with protest against banal and boring everyday life. I wanted to become a ballerina, write poems and stories, learn to play the piano, knit and sew unusual outfits for myself.

I have always been a creative person, but for some reason I studied at a physics and mathematics high school, where I got a gold medal. I graduated from Riga Technical University with a very romantic specialty: engineer, builder, technologist of reinforced concrete products and structures. I cannot answer the question of why I chose this specialty.

To my good fortune, a few years after college, the Soviet Union collapsed. I was able to start my own business. Very unexpectedly for me, I became the director of an advertising agency. Our agency was engaged in design and printing and worked for over years until the start of the war.

Passionate about photography, I was for many years tormented by the desire to draw what I saw. Convey the emotions I feel through colors and shapes. But I never learned to paint, which I regret very much.

But one day, for fine motor skills, I was advised to paint. I just took some paint and a brush and started drawing. My first painting was a flower meadow. An artist said that to learn how to paint roses, you just have to paint roses every day. In 2020 I moved to France where the universe allows me to paint on a daily basis. I have been painting for four years.

I like painting with acrylics. I work in the style of expressionism, impressionism. My main problem is Parkinson's disease; I can't always draw straight lines. That's why I joke that I paint in the style of Parksonism.

My creativity is my emotions, my perception of the world through color and shape.

I mainly draw nature. We all live in a very dynamic world and often don't notice the beauty around us. And the world is so beautiful!

I would like people, looking at my paintings, to feel this mood and remember that our main mission on earth is to live in harmony and be happy.
