Collection: Alla Chakir

Ganed Alla Chakir ar lan afon ym mhentref Kotlovyna yn rhanbarth Odesa yn yr Wcrain. Unwaith, gyda'r wawr bu'n myfyrio ar ddisgen ysgarlad enfawr yr haul a gwnaeth hyn argraff ddofn arni. O'i phlentyndod cynnar roedd hi'n hoff iawn o gerflunio o glai a doedd dim amheuaeth ei bod hi eisiau bod yn artist ac anogodd ei thad ei dyhead ym mhob ffordd bosibl. Graddiodd Alla o Sefydliad Odessa ac mae wedi cymryd rhan mewn llawer o arddangosfeydd yn yr Wcrain a thramor, mewn gwyliau celf rhyngwladol yng Nghanada, Ffrainc ac UDA. Ers 2000 mae hi wedi bod yn aelod o Undeb Cenedlaethol Artistiaid Wcráin. 
“Mae paentio yn ddiddorol oherwydd mae ei bosibiliadau yn ddiddiwedd. Mae peintio lluniau yn orffwys ac yn llafur yr enaid.”

Alla Chakir was born on the banks of a river in the village of Kotlovyna in the Odesa region of Ukraine. Once, at dawn she contemplated the huge, scarlet disc of the sun and this impression remained with her wherever she went! From early childhood she loved to sculpt from clay and there was no question that she only wanted to become an artist. Her dad encouraged her aspiration in every possible way. Alla graduated from the Odessa Institute and has taken part in many exhibitions in Ukraine and abroad, in international art festivals in Canada, France and the USA. Since 2000 she has been a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. 
“Painting is interesting because its possibilities are endless. Painting pictures is a rest and labour of the soul.”
