About artwork
A picture of a person from my family who defended Mariupol and is now in captivity.
The portrait was created shortly before the capture. Initially, it had a graphic and linear
appearance. But when my tears got to work, they created watercolor stains, which I then
strengthened. After that, the image was not clear and blurred, as well as the future fate
of the person.
Про роботу
Зображення людини з моєї сім’ї, яка захищала Маріуполь, а зараз знаходиться в
полоні. Портрет створювався незадовго до полону. Спочатку він мав графічнолінійний
вигляд. Але коли мої сльози потрапляли на роботу, то створювали
акварельні плями, які я потім підсилила. Після чого образ був не чітким і розмитим,
як і подальша доля людини.
After February 24, 2022, I ran away with my children to Vilnius without art materials.
Here I bought some water-based markers and a couple of drawing pads. This is all that
I could afford materially and physically to transport with me. Because there is nowhere
to store large-format works. Therefore, now my works exist in the form of sketches, or
graphic drawings with a watercolor effect. The color range is limited and hot, because
these colors correspond to the fury in my soul, fire and blood.
Після 24 лютого 2022 року я тікала з дітьми до Вільнюсу без художніх матеріалів.
Тут я купила декілька маркерів на водній основі, та пару блокнотів для малювання.
Це все, що я могла собі дозволити матеріально і фізично перевозити з собою. Бо
зберігати роботи великих форматів немає де. Тому зараз мої роботи існують у
вигляді скетчів, або графічні малюнки з акварельними ефектом. Кольорова гамма
обмежена та гаряча, бо саме ці кольори відповідають люті в моїх душі, вогню та
крові.
