Painting “Barricades” (2022)
The etching "Barricades" was created at the beginning of the war, when my husband and our neighbors went to build fortifications and barricades in our neighborhood in Kyiv. This is the first work that I printed in my workshop to the sound of sirens and explosions. I wanted to show a wall of protection, it was a necessity - to have a point of support. I have always liked the architecture of Kyiv, and here I got acquainted with the military architecture that has been protecting our city for a whole year.
I work with graphic techniques that help show the rhythmicity and repetition of modern architecture. The etching also reveals the theme of botany, the cyclical nature of the world. I transform things into new codes or symbols that become the new modern alphabet. I also experiment with printed techniques and zero-waste art.
Life during the war
On February 24, I decided to stay in Kyiv, at home, to help ьн relatives and neighbors.
Only about two weeks after the start of the war I was able to think about art and work.
During this time, my relatives from Kyiv went abroad, and my niece and her friend were safely evacuated from Bucha via the Irpin Bridge.
I decided to sell my artworks and send 70% to the volunteers and official foundations. Thank you everyone, who help!
