landscape/ Ukrainian Period (15)
Created on: 10 Aug 2024
The main feature of the paintings painted in Ukraine is sincerity and desire to live. The color may be inconspicuous, but I think in my artworks it is more golden and earthy shades. All paintings are sensitive and not tied to any criteria. I think that this diversity is the whole point of Ukrainian art.
I am inspired by life, its cyclicality and the change of seasons. The smell of fallen leaves and fresh snow on wet boots draws New Year’s Eve fuss in my memory. The gnashing of grasshoppers on perennial grasses in the rays of the departing sun brings me back to my childhood.
Ukrainians, by their centuries-old tradition, are connected with the land. Our land is special – sticky, as if bright black clay, mixed with oil, magical, airy extraordinary.
