Representing a woman in an art has a few values. At first, Eva is ancient mother of humanity. Secondly, Sofia personifies wisdom. Thirdly, Wonderful Helen is character of absolute inamorata.

Tragic inability of person to overcome duality and division give not ability to find absolute love and harmony.

PILGRIMS OF UNIVERSE
A Star of Christmas (with Ven Goleiko), The Project Universe: the Open Contact, National Museum of The Ukrainian History, Kiev, 2000
Today everybody is pondering over the possible future of the world in the 3rd century, about the possible road of our civilization, chance of reasonable sense's victory over insanity of destruction. Project of Ven Goleiko and Ta Chebrova "Universe. Open Contact" is an attempt to answer these questions. Ta Chebrova and Ven Goleiko consider the Universe to pass us, inhabitants of the Earth, its noble (kind) messages in understandable to everybody language of paints and forms, language of painting. When the human being is opened to perception of Unknown, the Unknown is opened to him, bringing the new happy unity of time and space.
The main point of the project "Universe: Open contact" is that two representatives of exclusive art style tralfrealism create two independent works on the same canvas. As a result the single painting, harmonious and undiluted, comes into the world. This project is an unexpected view of the world and one's ego. While working on the project Ven Goleiko and Ta Chebrova decided to combine their names and the signature VenTa has been born. In the middle ages in Spain by this name a coaching inn was called, where the tired travelers could get a rest, warm themselves at hearth, drink a glass of good wine. The artists in their joint works reveal new sources of positive energy.

Chebrova’s butterfly of Shelter Project: Sky, Ocean, Land. National Museum Chernobyl, Kiev, 2008
The artists can help civilization to find the acceptable forms of development, which brings not destruction but harmony, and is directed towards overcoming the strict fixation of our concepts of ourselves and surrounding world. Only arts teach to see not with eyes but clear heart. By bringing our effort together by means of creative work and knowledge we can break through into new worlds, existing within ourselves, alongside with us, simultaneously. We are discovering the world where our "ego" is something quite different, growing, gleaming, imperceptible and eternal. We are one bone and one flesh with the immense, mysterious, exciting and inconceivable Universe, not with momentary circumstances".
