Giving Back - Introducing Alexey





Alexey Lushnikov
Artist Extraordinaire

     I have the distinct pleasure and honor to introduce Alexey Lushnikov, French Russian Artist.  

      After a distinguished journalism career in St. Petersburg Russia, Alexey currently spends his time raising his daughter as a single father and developing his art portfolio.

Studied at the British Royal School of Fine Arts
Studied at Leningrad University
Russian-French Artist
Alexey’s love of art started at a young age long before his distinguished TV Journalism career began.
He has an appreciation for all great people.   In particular his greatest muse is found in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci.
His  inquisitive nature and intellect delves into the state of nature and civilization with impeccable insight.  Rendering depictions in its raw, untapped state, without pretense or planning.

Finding Meaning

     After spending some time in the UK, Alexey debuted as an artist in the early 2000’s. The main theme of the Alexey’s works is a declaration of love for the Basque Country, where he spent ten years living in the Metropolitan area of the French city of Biarritz. Many of the paintings became a kind of anthem of 
     the Basque Country, of its natural landscape and urban environment. The paintings reveal Basque’s everyday life and national traditions. The artwork organically transmits character and the will of the proud Basque people which is reminiscent of Oscar Claude Monet who felt the study of the French country side could be rendered through the voice of a canvas one moment at a time.
     With a gentle glance instantly you will fall in love with the lush verdant hills, colorful landscapes and playful architecture.  Each painting has within itself a world that you become mesmerized, even lost.  Scenes depict the nuances of local life at any given moment. An instant snapshot held in time with a brush, canvas and skillful application of paint.
26869446_333731547144936_4423630536069611520_nSince the mid 2000-s Alexey’s artwork have been exhibited at 11 personal exhibitions in Russia, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and other countries. Alexey’s work has repeatedly participated in various exhibitions and fairs in Russia and abroad. The two most recent were “Biarritz. 2013 “- was held in France in the summer of 2013 and opening day “Ogni” was held in London on June 26, 2015.

Unsung Exraordinary Hero - It's never to late to find your purpose and live your dreams

Ageism, what is it anyway?  I had not heard that term until recently.  I would have to say that age is not a criteria for being an Unsung Hero. In fact there is no age limit to heroism.  We all can step through the door and create a life of meaning regardless of our age, status, education or creed.  You are never to old to make a difference now.  We all can learn from each other.   Let me introduce our shooting star and unsung hero Garrett Hardy, who defies ageism, with heart, intellect, drive and passion  is hot on the trail of manifesting his life's purpose.

With limited resources available for mental wellness something has to be done.   The system of care is expensive and slow, leaving loved ones to suffer in silence. People innately want to help o

Unsung Extraordinary Hero - Glenn Marsden putting life and heart into Mental Health

The definition of a HERO based on author, J eff Sanderfer is someone who shapes events, who acts rather than watches, who is creative and brave."(1). When I think of an Unsung Extraordinary Hero, I think of the creator and director behind the highly acclaimed Imperfectly Perfect Campaign. This man epitomizes  action, shaping culture - social values, creativity and innovation in his approach to put life and heart into Mental Health. As I sit pensively waiting for that moment to connect with none other than Yorkshire born, Glenn Marsden, I explore the world of Imperfectly Perfect Campaign.org.  When you launch the web  page, o ne is immediately intrigued by the stories and pictures that resonate a truth.   Instantly you see unfiltered real photographs of influential public figures.

Unsung Extraordinary Hero - A Journey to Fulfilling a Calling to Be a Voice

In the wake of current life situations with COVID-19 Pandemic the word HERO only synonymous with comic books has become a household word. We are in a time and place where we desperately need the visibility and creation of heros, heroines, people who are heroic.  From a college course book in one of my business classes, the definition in this time and space is certainly appropriate. In the introduction, Jeff Sanderfer said, " heroic people - people who shape events, who act rather than watch, who are creative and brave."(1.) This is a moment to ask yourself the hard questions that often we ignore or pass over.  What is the journey or path to becoming a #HERO.  Is it at the root of what we have done most of our life, or did we receive an experience due to external influences or was there a singular internal event that changes our lives.   Perhaps it is best described as a calling or as I read recently a VOCATION, which in latin VOCARE means "to call."
