“Life is in the moment. In how exactly you feel this moment. How do you perceive it through the prism of your own vision, mood, emotions. And what traces it leaves in your soul. This is about impressionism. And how much this short trip to Zhiverni inspired me – the French town, where Claude Monet lived and created for more than 40 years,” she wrote.

Kucherenko recalled that it was in this city of Monet that he wrote the famous painting “Water Lilia”.
“The artist worked in his“ floating studio ”-right from the boat, in a pond, which is still quietly hiding in a picturesque garden. And everything lives there and now: the same waters, the same lilies. Only not purple, like in the paintings. Monet saw them just like that because of the cataract that gradually took his eyesight. When he was almost blinded, the stepdaughter was prepared in the right order,” the model said.

The presenter added that it was the stepdaughter who kept the house of Monet, remaining faithful to impressionism.
“This is an amazing place, and I fell in love with it even more,” the host admitted.
