War works

Technique:
Watercolour pencils on paper
Year:
2022-2023

I started painting again two weeks after the full-scale invasion began when the shock passed, and I came back home from my friends. At first, it was hard to create images, so I just drew from photos, recording what was happening, like in a diary. Then the war began to produce too many images. Some are forever embedded in the subconscious. The photos of the dead children struck me the most: I can't accept them, and I don't know how to live with it.

Now I draw mainly with watercolour pencils on paper. Previously, there was only an A4 format. Now I sometimes also create A1. I immediately transfer all the money from the sale of artworks to the Kharkiv volunteer hub "Culture Shock". Also, for donations to volunteers, I send the donators prints with pictures, art books, and zines.

The profile selection combines drawings from various series of the author: "aqWARelle", "Air raid alarm", "Electricity", "Kharkiv", and others.
