Oleksandr Ganzha and Oleksandra Seliuchenko |
DRAMA OF CREATIVE HEART Oleksandr Fisun believes that Oleksandra Seliuchenko in the company of famous masters O. Nochovnyk, K. Bilokur, O. Ganzha, M Pryimachenko, I. Bilyk made Ukrainian art famous throughout the world. As if she inherited from pottery Opishne (Poltava area) of the past centuries all secrets of clay modeling of toys. Her first teachers were her parents and then she finished a two-year school in ceramics at Opishnia ceramic factory where she worked all her life. She treated her work as creative process and the management required only the plan. She felt the voices of ancestors, tried to implement archetype sources but was rudely made retired. She was banned to come to the factory and therefore didn’t have any pupils. High skills and devotion to pottery unites the master with her colleague Ivan Bilyk as well as with her spiritual brother Oleksandr Ganzha. Oleksandra Seliuchenko has not been estimated by Ukrainian community yet. |
