"The Last Snow" is a work that reflects the suffering and despair that has arisen in the occupied territory of Ukraine. The painting depicts a lonely figure bent over in a pose, putting his face to the ground, thirsty for drops of snow as the last source of moisture. 

The work embodies the suffering and extreme hardship faced by people in the war.

In today's context, The Last Snow takes on an even deeper meaning, given the large number of victims and the dead in the war. Soldiers and civilians can see the last snow in their lives before they die. This painting becomes a memorial that honors the victims and reminds us of the unpredictability and cruelty of war.

"The Last Snow" encourages viewers to think and evokes feelings of compassion and outrage at the suffering of people in military conflicts. It reminds us of the need to oppose war and work for peace and humanitarian values.

"The Last Snow" 

This creative work evokes strong emotions and provokes the viewer to reflect on the cruelty of war. The canvas shows a scene that is a terrible symbol of inhumanity and cruelty. 

The background, painted in red, symbolizes blood and violence. The aim was to convey the deep hopelessness, despair and tragedy that accompanies war, this work raises questions about the meaning of life, human nature and the cost of peace. "Tortured Beauty" penetrates to the depths of the soul and questions the meaninglessness of violence. This work evokes outrage and sadness, but at the same time it tells a story that demands our attention and action. It deserves to make us think about the horrific consequences of war and the extent of the human tragedy it brings.

  

Tortured Beauty

The work celebrates the value of life and highlights the horrific real-life story of the military conflict in my country. In the center of the composition are a mother and daughter who lost their lives by a single bullet in the city of Bakhmut. Their images symbolize the importance of the value of life, and the shell casing, which was given to me by the military from this city, attached to the canvas, reminds us of the terrible reality of war and the desire for freedom and liberty.

  

Execution

Many people lost their lives in their homes. This work is a reflection on the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, the war in Ukraine, shelling, rocket attacks on houses. It is also a consequence of the events caused by a large number of earthquakes that shook our land and various natural disasters that led to death in homes.

I got the idea to paint this work when the occupiers blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station. This idea was in my head for a long time. The work is symbolic because shelter of fate describes the state when you have your own home and feel safe in it. But you never know and cannot be sure that your fate will not catch up with you in the shelter, and you may meet death, which will take your life, and your shelter will get a new meaning. We cannot escape from fate.

  

Shelter of Fate

The canvas features a lone person depicted in a closed square shape, which evokes a sense of confinement and inner struggle. The silhouette of the figure is executed in a twisted pose, which emphasizes the psychological tension of captivity. The terracotta-colored outline symbolizes injury and pain. 

The background of the painting is black, which emphasizes the isolation and depth of feelings experienced by this person. In this work, black creates the impression of darkness, evoking a sense of insecurity and uncertainty. This painting evokes thoughts of loneliness, suffering, and the desire to find inner harmony, and stimulates viewers to reflect on the deepest aspects of human tragedy.

The work "Mass Grave" embodies the tragic picture of mass graves that became a reality during the war in Ukraine. It is the embodiment of an artistic experience and a challenge to reflect on the brutality of the conflict and the loss of innocent lives.

In the center of the canvas there is a red square, which symbolizes the blood and suffering that is gripping the country. It acts as an emotional accent, drawing attention to the tragedy. Around the square are four dead people, reminding us of the cruelty of war and the powerlessness of its victims. 

The background is made in black color, which enhances the feeling of loss, sadness and hopelessness. It shows the atmosphere of mournful calm and adds weight to every detail on the canvas.

"Mass Grave" encourages the viewer to reflect on the cost of war and the need for peace. It reminds us of life's values and the importance of preserving human dignity regardless of political and ideological beliefs.
