About artwork
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, my artworks have highlighted the themes of
disappointment, pain, hopes, dreams, resistance and strong will.
I want the whole world to pay attention to our grief and help us overcome it.
Про роботу
З початком війни моя творчість висвітлювала теми розчарування, болю, сподівань,
мрій, протистояння та сильної волі.
Я хочу щоб увесь світ звернув увагу на наше горе і допоміг нам його здолати.
I love art so much. I started painting (oil and acrylic) 5 years ago and took my inspiration
from nature. I was fascinated by the grace of horses, surprised by forest inhabitants, exited
by the beauty and colors of birds. I depicted about a hundred wonderful creatures .
russian aggression changed everything. Now I can’t let myself paint the beauty of nature
when I hear so much disturbing news. Themes, colors, heroes, and plots of my artworks
have changed.
Дуже люблю творчість. Писати олією та акрилом почала 5 років тому. Натхнення
брала у природі. Захоплювалась грацією коней, мене дивували лісові мешканці,
зачаровувала краса та забарвлення птахів. Я зобразила близько сотні чудових
створінь.
російська агресія все змінила. Тепер я не можу дозволити собі малювати красу
природи, коли чую стільки тривожних новин. Змінились теми, кольори, герої і
сюжети моїх картин.
