I never blew the eggs: if they remove from life, remains an empty shell, a form without meaning. Even the feeling at the time of another. These "shkryabanki" is actually a living. Admire seen as playing for them this or that portrait ... As if that is really hidden under a shell in the bud particle life animates these Painted faces. Paradoxically, Tatiana "shkryabanki" almost impossible to photograph. They do not let cameras, the pictures have emerged glare. What can I say: Art, to which we must look alive. WORK Tatiana Bartosh are in many private collections at home and abroad (Poland, Germany, Russia, America). In the Ukrainian museum of its "shkryabanok" yet, though, acknowledged mistress, her works was interested in the famous museum Kolomyia Eggs. Shortly publish a catalog Tatiana thinks of his famous works. - These "shkryabanki" can not be stored in conventional wooden trays for Easter eggs - Tatiana notices - they compress the walls of the shell and create the pressure - as a result of the egg breaks. We need this, so while holding an egg in a static position and squeezed his wall.

My students have developed a special-jewelers platinum stand, it still goes to a piece of velvet cloth and glass box: that the egg does not touch the fingers. But some collectors are so delighted with the work that they themselves come up with their accessories. - How would we be with her husband (the husband of Tatiana Joseph Bartos - also an artist, a famous tenant Chinadievskogo Castle St. Miklos - Author.) Were in the open air in Hungary - tells the story of Tatiana. There looked a famous collector, and when he came to me and saw "shkryabanku" crazy. I asked with a computer program is done. When I learned that all by hand, do not believe it. Demanded that I made with him one more - if, say, buy the work in its collection and glorify you in all of Europe. Thank God, recalls Tatiana that she was the prepared colored egg (Hungarian chicken feed not like ours, Transcarpathia, and because of this shell from their eggs is not as strong). And Tatiana started working blade - she drew one of the Madonnas of Raphael. The man, as promised, bought the work. - I was told later that he had ordered a special jewelry box and stand under the egg, made a special spot and put the most conspicuous place in his collection ...

Without a rehearsal before you start work, an expert at paint eggs in onion skins. If you want the color was a dark and thick, pouring ink. Then check the suitability of eggs: one third of their rigid cloth to understand the paint rubs off, or even lay down. Such checks are necessary: an expert at working with one egg for two to three weeks, and if it is poorly painted, then rubbed the egg significantly. By the way, if traditional Easter eggs for all the masters prefer to take an egg white, Tatyana uses brown ... - The white pattern is in stark contrast with the paint. A brownish shell gives a nice matte picture, - says an expert at. How applied to image? I thought that initially the artist makes a sketch on paper, and then transfers the egg. No, it turns out, everything happens with a clean slate: the contour of the figure is applied directly to the egg in pencil. It is necessary for orientation in the same proportions. A very good at causing pieces of the contour of the blade, curved at different angles, and a special needle. It works, of course, with a magnifying lens. Today Tatiana Bartos working as a teacher of painting drawing and composition at Chinadeevskoy School of Art.

IIR has been good at art school (department of ceramics) and Lvov Polygraphic Institute named after Ivan Fedorov (Department of graphics). Tatiana depicts different styles (in graphic fashion, oil, watercolor, art draws the book), so, as she mocks, perfect craftsmanship can achieve none of them. But this seems, it does not seek: a seamstress so many creative plans over "shkryabanok" that waste time on the honing of his beautiful brushes are simply not enough forces. The artist wants to create not only portraits of the "krashankah", but represent ornaments optical character: the endless lines that passing one another, find an interesting perspective ... It is not always possible: once, says Tatiana, was trying to cause the blade to the shell of the dandelion - the artist wanted to clearly view each villus egret, like under a microscope. Alas, while this effect was not achieved. So it must try again ... ©
