Time Transformation

Time is transforming and no doubt transforms us and that's perhaps one of the most important things we watch, we feel, we overcome. Definitely nothing stays the same and this axiom is just a life. Well, "Time Transformation" is the title of exhibition of Alexander Klevan which has been opened in a beautiful building of Israeli Opera Hadasha 16 April and will last till 13 May, so as the saying is welcome!




Time sometimes flies like a bird, sometimes crawls like a snail; but a man is happiest when he does not even notice whether it passes swiftly or slowly.

In response to requests from the art lovers the Exhibition has been extended to June 16.

From Time To Time

No wonder that from time to time I talk here about printing. I guess everyone understands that a print is really serious and important thing not just for every artist and even for the whole art history but as you see the meaning of print is much wider and more and this is not an exaggeration. It's just hard to imagine our civilization without that.

First of all this is information, a source of learning at all times, from Noah till nowadays and today though it were newspapers, magazines, books or brochures printing we cant manage without. The widespread use of the internet as a main source of information has no revoked print but developed and extended integration of electronic and digital communication with print and other media.



Returning to my previous post about creating and postcard printing and reading your comments I would like just to add that there is no denying the fact that the life consists of things that makes you happy and makes you sad and sweat greeting with a few worm words written by your hand and addressed to someone you love can make the world some better. Perhaps. I hope. And as usually the postcard you can see above is dedicated to all those who wait for the "reply" too long.

From time to time I have regrets
For all the things I didn't say
You'll always be, oh the one for me
I think of you from time to time

Something Special for Life

It is said that sending a letter or postcard is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart. Today with a developing of high technology, Internet, email and other well known and wide popular ways of electronic communication, you have all chances to move with your heart whenever and wherever you just want, besides that everything points to the fact that the progress has no limit, constantly being pushed further and further away.



There are great number online sources offering wide range of services - from free greeting cards for birthdays, weddings, any holidays and occasions you need to high quality printing Business Cards, Calendars, Catalogs, Tichets, CD/DVD Sleeves and more. For instance right now you can save and print out this beautiful picture, that is placed above.

But however you know what is the best, even today in this time of cell mobile phones and emails? The best is to create your own unique card, write a real letter by your own hands like a people did in the pre-electronic age describing friendship, love and life. Such letters and postcards, arrived through the post box are so special we keep them for life.

Spring. Tulips

Spring is my most most loved time of the year as well as Tulips is my most loved flowers. Like many flowers Tulips mean perfect love. Red tulips are most strongly associated with true love, while purple symbolizes royalty. The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine. White tulips are used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. Variegated tulips, once among the most popular varieties due to their striking color patterns, represent beautiful eyes. Today you can print any photos you loved directly from the Internet to print it and put it on the wall then Photo Printer is no doubt a big helper on the way.



Here is the watercolor of Alexander Klevan and natural Tulips I've made photo then I love it as well:-)

Some people plant in the Spring and leave in the summer. If you're signed up for a season, see it through. You don't have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.

Kind of Lying

Painting is a kind of lying like a poetry as well.



Poetry is a kind of lying,
necessarily. To profit the poet
or beauty. But also in
that truth may be told only so.

Those who, admirably, refuse
to falsify (as those who will not
risk pretensions) are excluded
from saying even so much.

Degas said he didn't paint
what he saw, but what
would enable them to see
the thing he had.

Canvas Prints Gifts

As we all know, Christmas is a time of fun, laughter and of course gifts. A lot of artwork goes unnoticed at this time of year, by that I am talking about the artwork found on Christmas cards. As we receive so many cards at this time of year, it is easy to overlook the beautiful art found on so many of them.

Art also makes an excellent gift. This year many people will receive art from their loved ones. Be it a painting from a child or canvas prints from a family member, art makes a gift that will be treasured for years to come. Canvas art has risen is popularity in recent years. With the cost of printing equipment dropping in price, these prints now make a classy, affordable way to adorn your walls with the pictures you love.


Of all the gifts given this Christmas, art is probably the gift that will outlast all others. Giving some art as a gift means that you have put thought and care into your choice of present. Every time the receiver looks at the art you have given them, they will think of you.

This Is No Secret of Fact

Perhaps all what we know about Shakespeare and his times are derived from his works. One of Shakespeare's most famous sonnets describes the ideal of a beauty of those days like:



(watercolor on paper by Alexander Klevan)

“My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
Coral is far more fair than her lips fair
If snow be white, why then, her breast is dun,
If hair be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks...”

Generally in Elizabethan epoch women were a good judge of “hiding” their real identity. Hence it appears a lot of different makeup, whimsical wigs, intricate costumes and hats. Telling the truth women it looks that women new it always

Till now they can resort to various devices to hide, accentuate, colour the truth and that’s no doubts great! All these wonderfule fashionable dresses, perfect high quality make up, different color and style monofilament wigs make no secret of the fact that we are happy to admire and love them.
