"Highway Rublyovskoe" 2006.
" Imperial baths " 2006.
In Peter up to cowards have undressed Pugachyova.
The Vera Donskaya-Khilko in creativity prefers nude style. She is even named «Queen of nude». Heroes of last work of the artist "highway Rublevskoe" the Russian stars and politicians became, Volochkova with the monkey.The scandalous canvas in the size two one meter takes the central place in an apartment of the artist - while decent galleries and exhibitions refuse to take this work in an exposition. A pier, platitude all this.
The plot is simple - on the governmental highway 13 naked women cost. In beautiful women it is easy to learn familiar persons. Here harmonious Volochkova with the monkey-albino on hands, and here - Elena Hanga in a gendarme helmet and with a scepter … -
Painting is a text, - the author said. - therefore to read it you need to follow on the certain canons. Each figure, color and gesture are words of which intelligent people without effort will make the sentence. Decoding from the author Pictures of Vera Donskaya are difficultly for understanding without the help of the author.
- The woman in art is a symbol of the country, - the Vera says,- Russia dies out, therefore I have put here 13 women. In fact this number means death. The thirteenth in a rank is Alla Pugachova. It too is not casual. In her surname there is revolt, and color of a her name is scarlet. It is a symbol of the country, which already is not present (means the USSR. - the author comment). Other heroes of “Rublyovka” the artist was selected with special carefulness. - Surname Alsu is Safina. That means sacred, - Vera continues. - because of it I have put its to the first. On her head the cylinder that is the symbol of the end of socialism epoch and the bourgeoisie establishing in our country. Dark blue color of a dress coat means violence and a deceit, and the red lining symbolizes democracy which in Russia, excuse, in ass … Picturesque compliment Science hermeneutics (it is engaged in symbols in art) do not study at art schools. The Belief studied its elements independently under the antique literature. Then it was necessary also to a photo of stars to look - it was necessary to achieve the maximal similarity. However, in connection with a constitution the artist has given to celebrities solid compliments - in a picture all of them as one harmonious and with beautiful bodies. - Their statement on highway is already satire. So what for them still to humiliate? Let will be beautiful, - the Belief is dared. - and submit to court they on me hardly can - in fact this my author's vision. Xenia - a symbol of time To vote on capital “Rublyovka” the artist has put also a radical petersburger Xenia Sobchak. - Sobchak personifies our time, - speaks Donskaya-Kheelko. - it is not casual it in a picture costs to the fourth - this symbolics goes from seasons, which too four. In the right hand at Xenia so-called "democrat" Soros, and in left - a bowl for handouts. In fact «sobchak» in translation with Polish means «beggar-woman». Pink stockings on the teledivine - not that other as a symbol трепливой democracies, not casually this color is considered maiden.
The author!
Political nude the Belief of spectators confused not always. Once the former student of architectural faculty of one of the Petersburg high schools tried to win public realistic still-lifes and city landscapes. However people bypassed such exhibitions the party. Then Donskaya it was switched on nude style, began to draw fine courtesans the whole harems. When on one of cloths near to the long-legged negress the artist has represented the naked Christina Orbakajte, in a picture journalists and capital critics at once have become interested. She has groped a gold vein and for a month has written "Highway Rublevskoe". The artist have invited to Moscow to an exhibition, however an opening day have for some reason covered. However the Belief does not despond and is going to please spectators of new gallery already houses - in Petersburg.

Cryptography "NU"
The naked nature in pictures Vera Donskaya-Khilko; is Russia today from the Russian bath up to banquets of a mourning table. Semiotics of pictures of the artist their picturesque language the phenomenon, public, ideological and социополитическое. " Highway Rublyovskoe ", - as a symbol of the whole country with hints on foreign history of this road, road of the destiny especially noted by contemporaries, the poisoned enrichment and greed and forgotten the country, the Native land, mothers, sisters and daughters …
The digital, color and figurative symbolics in works of Belief, together with mythology of a format of pictures very far from external beauty and banal charm of bodies, also gives the artist as a format of the text as eternal language of picturesque art … Classics is always clever, full of sense and only sociohistorical.
The humanism of works of the artist is close, sensitive and cool exact, as a shroud of its snow (« Imperial baths »). Neither a comedy of images, nor literary - mythological do not build its picture, do not take away the clever and devoted spectator from sense of tragedies of people and history of all country.
Here it is suitable, to tell words of designer Evdzeni Vazilevichu Zerdevu which has written, that: « the Person who does not develop in itself art culture, art vision of the world around - spiritually poor … … and, on the contrary, the person developing in feeling of art vision, is happy ». More precisely, the artist, is always happy when all this understands. The artist not only looks and listens to a life, the artist sees and understands process. The artist has a science of understanding -hermeneutike.
