A talented girl was born in Malaysia, at the age of 16 she moved to Singapore, where a few years later she became a graduate of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. After graduation, Limsey worked as an art teacher. When the working day ended, she hurried home to translate her creative ideas into reality. The artist did not have time to draw large pictures, so she had to be content with expressing her inspiration in creating small drawings decorated with various unusual elements, including flowers. The creative process gave her tremendous pleasure, and the fruits of her labors aroused great interest among the audience. Today, Lim devotes all his time to his favorite work, creating more and more beautiful paintings.
The idea for the latest and, perhaps, the most beautiful series of photo illustrations - watercolor drawings with the addition of fresh flowers - came to the artist when she was thinking about a gift for her grandmother. Lim attached some rose petals to a bookmark, making them into dresses for the painted girl. Then the flower story began, on which the talented craftswoman continues to work actively.
Artist Lim Ji Wei is sure that you can find art not only in expensive galleries.
Limsey draws inspiration from various sources - nature, the world of art, cultural events and the lives of ordinary people. So one of the works was created after the Oscars in 2014 - with the help of floral art, she depicted Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong'o, who appeared at the ceremony in a blue Prada dress. Another picture is dedicated to the main character of the recently released film "Maleficent", played by Angelina Jolie.
The works of the Malaysian artist are so alive and light that there is a feeling of summer freshness, and thanks to photographs, which, according to Limzy, like capsules, stop time, her creations will live forever.
The girl calls her Instagram page (lovelimzy) a gallery, where she can give each guest a piece of happiness through art. To date, Lim's profile has over 70,000 followers who are captivated by her talent for creating delicate and original floral installations, combining watercolors and real flower petals. You can also get new portions of inspiration from Limzy's work on the artist's blog or on her Facebook page.
Have you ever met paintings that are painted not only with paints, but also with ... fresh flowers? For example, the original artist Lim Ji Wei, who is also known as Limzy, creates incredible things. She sees the world differently than ordinary people. It would seem that from the usual drawing of a girl in a dress, she creates a real living composition, complementing it with a living flower.
Limzy was born in Malaysia and then went to Singapore to study when she was only 16. She graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. After her successful studies, Lim began working as an art teacher. Every time after work, when she came home, she began to create her unusual drawings.
After a difficult work shift, she didn't have time to paint big paintings like Van Gogh or Da Vinci, so she expressed herself with small applications and complemented them with a highlight in the form of flowers. As Lim admits, she received great pleasure from the process and did not notice how she received recognition from the general public.

The most guarded state secret of today's Russia is the question of how many of us are left alive. Official statistics state that the population of Russia is about 147 million people. Are there really so many people living in Russia? Checking the official figure for Russia's population is fairly easy. This problem can be solved in three ways, and by comparing the results, to identify the figure closest to the truth. The first way is the selection of information from open sources. The second way is to analyze bread consumption per capita. And the third way is an independent calculation of the population, based on elementary mathematical skills. To solve the problem of determining the number of the population of Russia using the first method, you need to turn to the media. Back in 2011, the alarm was sounded by information issued by the Public Committee for Overcoming the Genocide of the Russian People. This information has not been refuted by anyone for all subsequent years. According to the Central Department of the Civil Registry Office of Russia as of June 1, 2010, there were 89 million 654 thousand 325 people. But there is no more accurate accounting than in the registry office. A person is born, his birth certificate is issued. And if he died, then a death certificate is issued. In 2011, a huge scandal erupted. A young girl Ekaterina Ulitina, who was then an employee of the Central Analytical Center of the Civil Registry Office, told the whole world that, according to the Civil Registry Office, as of June 1, 2010, in the Russian Federation, according to the documents of the living population, there were 89 million 654 thousand 325 people. The government is aware of this because it releases CAC reports every quarter, but in reality it releases very different numbers. After Ekaterina Ulitina revealed to everyone these terrible facts about the real number of living Russians, she was immediately fired from the Central Analytical Center of the registry office. After her dismissal, FSB officers had a conversation with Ekaterina, who advised her to keep her mouth shut in the future. Yandex.Direct Book of the CIA. A true story Well-known historian Andrey Fursov said back in 2012: “In reality, we don’t know how many people we have. Serious demographers say that there are actually 90 million of us. I have two female students involved in the census in different areas of Moscow. One counted 6.5 thousand people in her area, and the other - 8.5 thousand. Where there were 6.5 thousand, they said to register 10 thousand people, and where there were 8.5 thousand, they said to register 12 thousand. Thus, in these areas, a population of 30% was assigned. It seems that such a situation was also throughout Russia. We do not really know the population of our country. One thing I know for sure. In order for our population to hold on to the territory, 70 million people is a critical figure. If less, then we will no longer hold the territory. Fursov said this five years ago. Now the demographic situation is much more catastrophic. For example, many researchers argue that the real population of Russia is 52 million people, and the appearance of a larger population is achieved by migrants from Muslim countries, who, according to unofficial data, number about 20 million people in Russia. You may not agree with this statement. However, in any case, in many large cities the number of population from Muslim countries is approaching the 50% mark, and in Moscow this mark has long been passed. The US Central Intelligence Agency completely rejects Russian official statistics. According to the published data, the mortality rate of the Russian population is more than 15 times higher than the data from the official reports of the Russian statistics service. The CIA annually publishes the so-called World Factbook - an almanac of the countries of the world. Its pages contain basic information about each of the countries: population, geography, political system, armed forces and economy. So, according to the American "Book of Facts" in mid-2011, the population of Russia was 88 million people. This contradicts the data of Rosstat, whose website states: "As of August 2011, the number of permanent residents of the Russian Federation is 142.8 million people." The difference with the CIA data is huge. The fact that the official figure of the population of Russia is not true was also stated by the “Think tank” under the Russian president “Strategy-2020”, which came to the conclusion that the population of Russia is actually 133-134 million people. And this is taking into account migrants who temporarily reside in Russia. Yes, the Think Tank, as a permanent organization under the President of the Russian Federation, apparently also overestimated the population of Russia, but still we are not talking about the mythical 146 million people. The "Think Tank" under the President of Russia has no plans to increase the birth rate of the indigenous population, just as there are no ways out to reduce its mortality. This "Think Tank" had only plans to replace the Russians with guest workers, consisting mostly of illiterate Central Asian shepherds. Thanks to true patriots who are still working in Rosstat, in particular, it became known that the real data on the last census in Russia have not been made public, as they serve as evidence of an impending catastrophe. According to this information, the real population of Russia is now less than 80 million people. And there are even fewer Russians (slightly more than 50 million people). In part, these data are confirmed by the process of total extinction of most settlements in the regions of Central Russia. Thus, various information sources show approximately the same figure for the population of Russia at 88-89 million people. But these are the data of 2010-2011, when there were still a lot of us. Then the Siberian expanses were relatively populated. And on the European side of the Urals, not all villages have been destroyed, and not all small towns have yet degraded. Since then, the situation has deteriorated significantly. So, many small towns in Russia now look more like a landscape after the Battle of Stalingrad. If in 2010 there really were 89 million of us, now, given the obvious process of the country's degradation, there are much fewer of us. The second way to determine the real population is to analyze the consumption of grain per capita. There are certain factors that are indicators independent of statistical tricks. And such an independent factor in determining the population size is the level of bread consumption. This indicator can be safely used, since the level of bread consumption is a very conservative indicator, which depends on the mentality, habits and national characteristics of each nation. In Russia, people have traditionally eaten a lot of bread. Due to grain, the average Russian provides himself with about a third of the nutrition he needs at the level of 1090-1100 kcal per day. In 2017, 134 million tons of grain were harvested in Russia. Of these, 25% of the grain, which is 33 million tons, was spent on crop reproduction, livestock feed and natural loss during storage. In the 2016/17 agricultural year, 35 million tons of grain were exported. Consequently, 66 million tons of grain remain for domestic consumption. A normal human life requires 173 kg of bread and bakery products per year (110 kg of bread alone), which is 1004 kg (one ton) of grain. Thus, the consumers of bread in Russia are 66 million people, provided that they eat normally. According to a similar calculation, bread consumers in Russia in 2010 were 84 million people. The third way to determine the real population is to count the population using elementary mathematical operations. According to Soviet official data, at the time of the collapse of the USSR, 142 million people lived in Russia. According to official Russian data from 1992 to 2010. 35 million people have left the country irretrievably, and the flight continues. The rest quickly died out (from 1992 to 800 thousand a year), and continue to die out. Thus, in 2010, the population decline has already amounted to 1.1 million people per year, and continues to grow rapidly. Thus, the average annual decline in the population of Russia is 900 thousand people. That is, every year Russia loses the population of an entire region. And now let's count. 142 million in 1991 minus the 35 million who emigrated is 107 million. There would be so many Russians now if the people did not die out, but only fled abroad. But as already noted, the people died out over the years at an average rate of about 900 thousand per year. Multiplying the average annual loss of 900,000 per year by 19 years (1992-2010), we get about 17 million people in population decline due to, as the Kremlin leaders cynically put it, the “natural” loss of the Russian population. And now let's subtract 17 million "naturally reduced" from the previously received 107 million people and get 90 million people, which coincides with high accuracy with the number of living Russian citizens given by the Central Analytical Center of 89,654,325 as of June 1, 2010. What we have? Leakage of information from the Central Analytical Center of the Civil Registry Office on the real population of Russia, which as of June 1, 2010 was 89 million people. According to the historian Andrey Fursov, his students, who conducted the 2010 census, were instructed to attribute the population in their areas to 30%. If such registrations were carried out throughout Russia, then the real population figure should have been not 142 million people, but a maximum of 99 million. In addition, the US Central Intelligence Agency, citing its sources, published in the American "Book of Facts" information that in mid-2011 the population of Russia was 88 million people. In addition, according to estimates for 2010, there were only 84 million consumers of bread in Russia. And, finally, the number of Russian residents due to emigration abroad (35 million) and the extinction of the population of 900 thousand annually (and a total of 17 million) decreased from 142 million people in 1991 to 90 million in 2010. Thus, we have real population figures in 2010 ranging from 84 million to 90 million. How many of us are left today? If in 2010 there were 84 million people who consumed bread in Russia, then in 2017, as mentioned above, there were 66 million of them left. If we take the average annual population decline over the seven years from 2011 to 2017 and the number of people who emigrated from Russia (in 2017 alone, more than 400,000 citizens left Russia), then the population loss will amount to at least another 9 million people. Russia now appears to have a population of less than 80 million. Apparently we are already approaching that line of 70 million people, when it will no longer be possible to hold our territory. In terms of the rate of depopulation, our country holds the absolute record - 222nd place among 230 states. If this continues, then in 10-15 years Russia will become a predominantly Muslim country with a degraded low-intellectual population, as a result of which the country will be thrown back to the level of the feudal system in all directions, with a population completely dependent on a shovel and Western electronic gadgets, incapable of any new cultural and scientific and technological breakthroughs.
Where the spirit does not guide the hand of the artist, there is no art.

Art is limitless, and it can bring together seemingly incompatible things. This is precisely the work of the Malaysian artist Lim Ji Wei, better known under the pseudonym Limzy.
The idea to combine fresh flowers with watercolor drawings came by chance when Lim was preparing a gift for her grandmother's birthday. She added some petals to the picture to make a dress for the painted girl. The result of her efforts was so unexpectedly gentle and inspiring that Wei decided to continue and created a whole series of such works.
A talented girl was born in Malaysia, at the age of 16 she moved to Singapore, where a few years later she became a graduate of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. After graduation, Limsey worked as an art teacher. When the working day ended, she hurried home to translate her creative ideas into reality.

The creative process gave her tremendous pleasure, and the fruits of her labors aroused great interest among the audience. Today, Lim devotes all his time to his favorite work, creating more and more beautiful paintings.
Viewing these pictures will not disappear without a trace, but will leave an imprint in the soul for a long time,
and what could be more important for real art?
