In the Royal Cultural Center of Amman, in the Holy Land of Jordan, on the eve of Easter, the exhibition of the world-famous Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk “Voice of my soul” opened.<\/p>\n
About 50 canvases of six creative cycles (out of twelve created by the artist during his creative life) are presented to visitors of the prestigious cultural institution of this unique Muslim country. Spectators were undisguisedly delighted by the hyper-realistic landscapes, especially the winter ones: whole generations of Jordanians had never seen snow, so for many it was the first encounter with the classic winter of the northern latitudes. The abstract surrealist canvases of the artist from the cycles “Tired Melody”, “Voice of my Soul”, sophisticated graphics from the series “New Expressions” were no less admired. The Muslim tradition has its own strict canons, but the eternal themes of human existence, raised by the Ukrainian artist, were close to the inhabitants of the East, the technical expression of meaningful compositions delighted the audience.<\/p>\n
Nabig Shokum, Minister of Culture of the country, assisted in the organization and opened the exhibition. Ambassador of Ukraine to Jordan Serhiy Pasko delivered a welcome speech. It was thanks to Serhiy Oleksiyovych that an artistic event of this level became possible in this Middle Eastern country. It should be added that the diplomatic institution headed by him constantly and persistently creates a positive image of our country in Amman. There is Taras Shevchenko Street, the Ukrainian-Jordanian Friendship Square, where all the trees were brought from Ukraine and took root, it seemed, on quite favorable soil. At this time, a lilac blooms in the park, causing surprise among the Arabs and special feelings among our compatriots, of whom there are about five thousand living in Jordan today. By the way, thanks to our diplomats, Ukrainian women united in the “Ukrainian House in Jordan” community, which enables them not only to communicate, but also to create an interesting page of Ukrainian culture: poets, composers, and artists appeared among the female emigrants. Yes, the name of the poet Victoria Abakadum is already widely known in Ukraine. She is the mother of five children and teaches them all Ukrainian.<\/p>\n
The opening of the exhibition was attended by politicians, government officials, diplomats of countries accredited in Amman, and numerous journalists. Ivan Marchuk, in an interview with the central channel of Jordanian TV, noted that culture is the face of the country, and it is precisely such activities that help build strong bridges between peoples. He expressed confidence that the exhibition will allow a better understanding of Ukraine and give it sincere and reliable friends.<\/p>\n
