I would like to capture people who really touch me in a personal image in which I highlight what touches me.

I often find that difficult to express in words alone.

I have therefore become accustomed to expressing myself in different forms of communication.

You will find some examples of this in:

• The photo drawing  https://www.photodrawing.nl/

• The Hiwidrawing    https://hiwidrawing.jouwweb.nl/

• The EP phone             https://ep-phone.jouwweb.nl/

The name Elena

Today on June 15, 2024, I am looking for the first time at the meaning of the name ELENA, the singer who has been touching me for some time, but of whom I have still not made a real HIWI drawing.

And with a personal HIWI drawing, (a story drawing) it has become my habit to look at the meaning of a name.

And then I find many meanings for the name ELENA, which are:

• God is my light,

• Pity,

• Torch,

• Moon

But I read some more and then I find: Origin and meaning Elena Elena is a girl's name with several explanations. The source may be the Arabic word 'ellinor', which means 'God is my light'. It could also come from the Greek 'eleos'. This means 'pity'. In both cases, Elena is probably a derivative of Eleonora. It's also possible that Elena is a variant of Helena. The name was probably corrupted to Elena via the Russian Yelena. Helena comes from Greek and means 'torch' or 'moon'. The Trojan War is said to have started when Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, was kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris. Her husband, Menelaus, then goes to war to get his wife back.

Elena Yerevan certainly has several talents.

Talent with which she certainly knows how to touch me.

Her voice often sounds clear and her guitar playing driven.

I also find it special that she performs from different stages.

And then just on the street.

I see her a lot on TikTok and YouTube and sometimes also live.

I have never depicted her in a life story drawing before (a hiwidrawing) but I started doing that today.

Bohemia of the cheerful, crazy and gray Paris from times long past
Where you posed for me in an attic wearing a dog suit

 

And don't forget that you can do it yourself

And with dedication I passionately painted your tired body

Until dawn, sometimes without eating and always without sleeping

The bohemian, the bohemian
La bohemia la bohemia

 

It was a delight of love

 

The bohemian, the bohemian

It was a flower of our age

Under a chair, the cheerful coffee table brought us together

 

Talking incessantly, dreaming of arrival

Glory is achieved and when a painter

He found a buyer and a canvas which he sold to him

 

We always shouted along with him and walked happily through Paris

The bohemian, the bohemian

 

It played I saw you and I loved you

The bohemian, the bohemian

 

Together with you I will succeed

We had health, smiles, youth and nothing in our pockets.

With cold and heat the same good mood

 

I danced in our thirst and always fought the same thing

Hungry to the end, we built castles

 

And the old divisions kept us from resisting and not fainting

The bohemian, the bohemian

 

It was watching the sunrise

 

The bohemian, the bohemian

 

It was dreaming of a love

Today I returned to Paris through the misty girls

 

I thought it had changed, the lilacs are no longer there

They don't even go to the desban

 

Abodes of passion, dreaming like yesterday

I walked around my workshop, but they already demolished it

 

And they replaced it with a café-bar downstairs and a guesthouse upstairs

The bohemian, the bohemian

 

That I was alive, the light was lost

 

The bohemian, the bohemian

It was a flower and eventually it died

A bohemian refers to the practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people and with few permanent ties. In its original meaning it is the French word (bohemian) for a resident of Bohemia, the western part of the Czech Republic.

bohemian

Etym: Fr. Bohemian, gypsy from Bohemia in the west of the Czech Republic.

Type of 19th-century romantic artist who resists social conventions through eccentric behavior and clothing. Under the influence of Romanticism, the artist was increasingly seen (or saw himself) as the individual of genius who was no longer bound by the conventions of bourgeois society. Artists grouped themselves, often in the big cities, into circles of like-minded people, who spoke with disdain about bourgeois decency and morality, and who deliberately distinguished themselves from that bourgeois society in clothing and behavior. Henri Murger's Scènes de la vie de bohème (1849) described the life of the bohemians in the Latin Quarter of Paris. The fact that there was great interest in it is proven by the fact that both Puccini and Leoncavallo wrote an opera of the same name about it, La bohème (1896, 1897), based on Murger's book. Gérard de Nerval described his bohème environment in La bohème galante (1852). Towards the end of the 19th century, under the influence of symbolism, artists began to emphasize the artificial and also tended to create works of art themselves. That's where decadence and bohème meet.

In the Netherlands, just before the turn of the century, one could speak of the bohème of the Eighties (Lodewijk van Deyssel, Willem Kloos, Albert Verwey and others). Afterwards, individualists such as Erik Wichman (1890-1929), J.K. Rensburg (1870-1943), Apie Prins (1881-1958) and Jacques Gans (1907-1972) as bohemians.

And yet Elena Yeravan in particular steals my heart with her voice and sound
