About artwork
At the beginning of the war, I began to paint Ukrainian cities in the image of women.
It was not, at first, a series. I drew what was most confusing and destructive. When the
tears ended, I began to transfer my pain to canvases. The first was the city of Bucha, then
my native Mykolaiv, Boyarka, a town near Kyiv, where the war caught my family and
me... With these works, I tried to pay tribute to people from different cities in Ukraine,
telling my story...
Про роботу
З початком війни я почала малювати українські міста в образі жінок. Це не була,
напочатку, серія, я малювала те, що найбільше бентежило й руйнувало. Коли
закінчились сльози, я почала переносити свій біль на холсти. Першим було місто
Буча, потім рідний Миколаїв, Боярка, містечко під Києвом, де мене з сім‘єю застала
війна… Цими работами я намагалась віддати шану людям з різних міст Укрїни,
розповідаючи свою історію…
