Our Story
Hello from Alla, Polina and Uliana, a team of mother-daughters!
Were so delighted to see how many new people joined our mission and journey of “The ART of Living with JOY”! Thank you!
Thus, we would like to reintroduce ourselves. Perhaps, many of you will resonate with our life values and story. And THAT would be magical!
We believe in true authentic KINDNESS, without any alterations and conditions.
We believe that all people are born with the DESIRE TO LOVE and be loved. Sometimes, however, in their journeys, losses and tragedies happen. People’s fragile senses and emotions react to those hard events and that’s where our general kindness, non-judgmental connections, can help those “broken” people to reconnect with their true innocence. We can help each other greatly, don’t you think?
We believe that every tiny thing around us is full of extraordinary BEAUTY. And we can help each other to notice it. Especially in this tremendously rushing overstimulating world. Through our words, conversations, narrations, articles, publications, and even art titles, paintings’ subject matters and now products. Everything matters.
Our story.
Siberia.
I, Alla was born to a military family in Belarus. Then we moved to hustling and bustling Moscow for my father’s continuing education in military academy, upon graduating which we were sent to a totally opposite place - a small military settlement in Siberia. The entire small population was wearing military green uniform; the military engineering, such as tanks, vehicles, training …construction was painted in green and well, we were surrounded in real Siberian untouched green, from the pines, taiga. Children had to grow very quickly acquiring all the household responsibilities from a very early age, living in a wooden logs house with no hot water, outhouses and bath house a few miles from our homes. All of that during long white cold winters. However, my parents, my brother and I have incredibly fond memories.
The value of languages and travels in our life.
At the age of ten, my father, for his exceptional knowledge in military engineering and even study of the English language, was relocated to…Cairo, Egypt! That event changed our lives and views on the world forever! That was exactly the reason Soviet Union lived behind the Iron Wall: they did not want us to see anything positive beyond USSR. At the age of ten I made the decision to study languages in order to communicate with the outside world. At the age of 16 I entered University to study foreign Languages, such as English, German and Latin.
Cairo, March 1971
Human potentials are unlimited!
Those experiences have changed my life significantly expanding my horizons immensely and as soon as I started a family, I knew that my children have
a) to be bilingual,
b) have a strong stamina, perseverance,
c) hardworking skills and
d) a strong believe that human’s ability to survive and grow are simply unlimited.
Immigration to the USA.
That was yet another complex and very long journey. My daughters went through significant separations and losses at a tender age of ten. But any Big Dream requires those, so called sacrifices. Please always remember, daily, your ancestors. What they went through was simply unimaginable. We started our life from scratch: new language, concepts, society, rules, traditions, food, list goes on and on. Thirty years later I still go through adjustments.
Our artistic journey.
But those, so called “difficulties” have never been difficulties for us in their authentic sense. Why? Because we don’t believe in difficulties! Sounds fabulous, right?
Well, each of us pursued our professional paths: I was in adoption, Polina went for finances and Uliana-art , particularly photography. But all three of us have always been surrounded by creativity of my parents, my paintings and their interest in all creative and painting. . You see, these three cores of our professional background had become the essence of our company, that we started in 2022 ???
The joy of sharing.
Combining my experience in painting and teaching art for several decades, gaining deep understanding of a human psychology through adoption; Uliana’s knowledge of colors, compositions, aesthetics, Polina’s passion to travels, explorations, analyses, research and finances give our company a solid foundation and incredible joy!
Why? Because using our experiences and skills, we can still Dream Big, reach for the stars AND implement all our values.
We are experiencing a true and authentic happiness and we are so delighted that you have joined our life journey!
With LOVE,
Alla, Uliana, Polina
