Watercolor on paper
Before 24.02.2022 I was a botanical watercolor artist.
My art was like a peaceful meditation, concentration on the beauty of nature. I wanted
my paintings to bring joy, coziness and calmness to peoples’ homes, to make them stop
their everyday rush and relax for a moment by exploring the small details of a botanical
illustration.
l don’t do botanical illustration anymore because there is no more peaceful meditation
inside. Now my art is about the way we live through this surreal reality between regular
big-city life, blackouts, air raid alerts and news from the frontline.
I express these emotions with paint on the paper, and I want to make people think about
what is happening in Ukraine right now and how they can help us.
