**Non-Miniature by Elena Bezrukova for Vera Salimzhanova’s Painting «The Girl and the Blue Whale»**
1. Vera showed me her drawing, where on thick paper, the massive form of a whale and a slender girl glide through the depths of the ocean. The Blue Whale, arching its body, reaches out its flippers towards the swimmer, as if gently trying to embrace her. She fearlessly slices through the water beside him. Читать далее…

Writing flows through me like breath itself. It is an innate part of who I am, as essential and natural as the act of breathing. When I find myself at the precipice of a cliff, I release the butterflies that reside within my chest, and I take great pleasure in observing their graceful flight. With over two decades of experience managing a family business in Kyiv, specializing in seminars and VIP tourism, destiny beckoned me to embark on a new path—one that resonated with the depths of my heart. Drawn to the modern-day Phoenicia, I embraced my calling as a writer and began crafting transformative stories and poetry that delve into the intricate realms of emotions, the inner self, and the world of women. Under the pseudonym «Anna Gharib,» I embarked on a journey of self-expression, capturing the essence of the heart of the Phoenician Kingdom (TYR). As a fervent devotee of aesthetics and a connoisseur of beauty in all its forms, my heart beats in synchrony with art. I find solace in the profound connection between art and an open heart. In pursuit of this passion, I have found my place of residence in the vibrant city of London during this chapter of my life. Here, amidst the melting pot of creativity and inspiration, I thrive and continue to nurture my artistic spirit. Читать далее…

Leila Gharib is an 11-year-old Ukrainian girl who arrived in London with her family in June 2022 due to the war in Ukraine. Before coming to London, Leila studied at a drawing arts studio and actively participated in exhibitions.
Additionally, from the ages of 3 to 7, she attended ballet and Flamenco lessons.
Upon arriving in London, Leila had to change schools twice.
Both schools quickly recognized her creative thinking, artistic and athletic abilities, communication skills, and her eagerness to actively engage in school life.
Given the challenging circumstances of leaving her home and having to make significant efforts to learn a new language, culture, and rules in order to catch up with children who grew up in London, Leila faced comments from other children about her language proficiency and knowledge of subjects. However, she made a determined effort to express herself through art at school, as it was her only way to feel fulfilled and communicate in her new world. Teachers and fellow students were amazed by Leila’s artistic expressions.

Both schools praised Leila’s exceptional drawing skills. Her artwork was showcased in school exhibitions and selected for participation in an exhibition at the Ukrainian Welcome Center on 21 Binney Street, near Bond Street in London. Leila regularly attends drawing classes at the Ukrainian Welcome Center, where she receives support and motivation to continue her studies. Recently, she has also joined clay modeling classes.

Following the family’s move to London, Leila engaged in Irish dancing in Ealing, street dance workshops in Westminster, and some jazz. Currently, she is attending Maida Vale Ballet School and is performing well. Leila has already won first place twice in street dance battles and achieved third place in street dance choreography.

After relocating to Westminster, Leila participated in the school choir and will join the Dood club from January. She also attended drama classes and Fashion School in Chelsea. Leila visited music classes at the Ukrainian Welcome Center, where a teacher from Germany praised her creativity.

On April 8, 2024, Leila won the Creative Writing Contest titled «The Enchanted Power» for her brave effort in creative writing. The contest was organized by Olya D Light and the London group of multilingual writers.

In addition to English, Leila speaks three other languages: Arabic, French, and Russian. She has started learning Spanish at her new school and is progressing well.
