The painting continues my collection ‘War in Ukraine’. And the main theme in it is the hope for dawn after a long, long night, which is evidenced by the flowers ready to blossom on the trees and a blossoming tulip on the ruins of a house. And the first rays of the rising sun are already visible on the walls of the empty and ruined houses.

Diploma of the winner of the qualifying competition and participant in the art exhibition dedicated to the anniversary of Lina Kostenko, ‘Draw Me a Poem,’ an author’s project by Vanda Orlova.
I painted this picture in the format of an art battle organized by the Ukrainian art association Art Fine Nation. The competition was called ‘Paint me a poem by Lina Kostenko’. The artists chose a poem from those proposed by Art Fine Nation and an art pair of artists who chose the same poem. Then, for 10 days, the pair of artists painted paintings (each of them their own) on the theme of the poem. The paintings then took part in a selection competition, and the winners will be presented at the collective exhibition in Kiev.
A little more, a little more – and the flowers on the trees will bloom, and the will fly around like a rhizomes’ dream.
War paints watercolour paintings with blood. Its palette – is the ashes of fires.
Its landscape – is the ruins of neighbourhoods. Empty streets are faded pastels.
Unless some tulips suddenly sprout somewhere through the groaning rubble.

Princess Olga ascended the throne after the death of Prince Igor Rurikovich and was the de facto ruler of Kievan Rus’ from 944 to 964. Olga is immortalised not only in the history of Ukraine and the world, but also in a monument erected in her honour in 1911 on St. Michael’s Square in Kyiv, sculpted by I. Kavaleridze and P. Snitkin. A wise, far-sighted, fearless, decisive, invincible ruler according to the chronicle, she was canonised as an equal to the apostles by the Orthodox Church for accepting and spreading Christianity and building churches… The beginning of 2022, the Russian invasion, did Olga prevent the occupiers from breaking through to Kyiv? Surrounded by sandbags, the pedestal is ready to withstand a siege in the very heart of the capital, where on 21 May 2022 an exhibition of equipment destroyed in fierce battles on the approaches to the capital opened. What is this? A symbolic coincidence or a new legend about a powerful ruler who once avenged her husband’s death?

I was shocked by the news. I tried to convey the horror of the war in this painting. I was only able to finish this painting a year and a half after the tragedy. It’s very hard morally to paint such a thing… A missile attack on an apartment building in Dnipro took place on 14 January 2023 at 15:30 local time. The attack was carried out by Russian troops during a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The missile strike destroyed part of an apartment block. As of 19 January, 46 dead, among them three children, and 75 wounded (among them 13 children) were known. On 17 January at 13:00, the search and rescue operation was completed at 13:00, the Russian attack killed 44 people, in the evening it was announced a total of 45 dead. Thus, the rescue operation lasted 69 hours. A total of 39 people (including 6 children) were rescued, 79 wounded (among them 16 children), in hospitals at the time of completion of the operation were 28 victims (10 in serious condition). 45 people died (6 of them children, the youngest child was 11 months old). 236 flats were destroyed, more than 400 people were left without housing. As of 10:40 on 19 January, police had received 420 reports of damaged property, 43 of damaged cars and 10 of damaged buildings. Eleven people remain missing. On 19 January, 46 people were reported dead.

The realities of life during the war. The picture reflects pain, fear, anger at the aggressor and the situation. What is the alma mater to blame for? The educational institution is not a military facility. The monument to T.H. Shevchenko in Borodyanka, shot by the occupiers, immediately comes to mind. It looks like a war of symbols, substitution of concepts, extermination of civilians, encroachment on the cultural heritage and education of future generations. The picture is a symbol of invincibility, it emphasizes the strength of spirit and willpower. Here all feelings turn into peace, because there will be light after darkness. A look out the window, at the University… The impetus for creating the work was the arrivals in Kyiv on October 10, 2022, stock photos and videos from the Internet that covered this event.

On the eve and at the beginning of the war, many signs appeared in the sky above Ukraine, in which people saw the faces of Christ, the Virgin Mary, the Heavenly Host and Orthodox saints. In hope for peace, many people associated these signs as support for Ukraine and its inhabitants. At that time I believed that all the saints stood in our defence. Even now I have no doubt about it!

God! Save the children, please! How many people in Ukraine prayed to God with these words when they heard the first explosions on the morning of 24 February 2022! This picture was painted in the first months of Russian-Ukrainian war. All the horror and shock of these events I tried to convey on it. An unexploded rocket buried in the sand in the middle of a playground. In the peacetime it’s hard even to imagine this
