Burkova

Hello,

 my name is Ekaterina Burkova.

I was born in Russia but live in Italy.

I work as physiotherapist in un Residence (nursing home) for senior  persons.

At a free time I like to draw, embroider, photograph.

The choice of themes of my artworks have an influence by my job where I see what is mean to become old: the force of body leave you, the memory is lose, intellect degrade…

A members of family often don’t want to accept this changes and they are shocked by strange behavior of old man and disconnect with him (particularly if was of pre-existence intrafamily conflicts).

With my artworks I would like to sensibilize a people to old age, to accept it, to do understand how is need in love, tolerance, attention… and also in forgiveness...

because a old person is not always correspond to ideal of sage man, but often with years a character become capricious, irritable and sometimes appear dementia with strange behavior.

 This exist and must be accepted, forgiven and comprehended because all of us become old e nobody escape of physical death…

If close one's eyes for don’t see the old age it is a way to illusion of eternal youth that not exist in this world.

The old age is a phase of life that to be in need to talk and not ignore!..
