I am an artist from Ukraine.
I was working in my studio on a project for an exhibition. I had a calm orderly life, full of hopes and plans.
On the morning of February 24, we woke up from explosions and the message that the war had begun.Now there is a war in my country, Russia invaded our territory. Russian rockets and bombs are already hitting civilian homes, Russian soldiers are shooting civilians in Ukraine and preventing humanitarian convoys from reaching the occupied cities, preventing the population from being evacuated from them. It was impossible to believe, but I immediately decided that I would continue to create. I stay in Kyiv and continue to paint. Now there is no way to get to the studio, so I create art at home, although there is very little space here. I can't draw war. In the works that I am writing now, I depict simple human dreams, how everything will be later, when peace comes.
I believe that with our dreams we materialize the future,
that there is no really defined future, but it will be the way I create it, so I draw, draw the future.
When the sirens are wailing, I don't run to the bomb shelter, I keep drawing, it saves me, gives me the strength to resist the destruction. Unfortunately , delivery now may take longer than before, perhaps a whole month, although I hope it will be faster.
The real painting looks much better than the photo, which is not able to adequately show the texture and sensations of the live painting. I ship worldwide. Painting is packed very carefully in cardboard box with layers of bubble wrap and styrofoam to protect it. Feel free to send me a message if you have questions.
