Item Summary

Description provided by artist:

"War is a shock that facilitates self-discovery through suffering. By revealing hidden weaknesses, hidden strengths arise. Therefore this series focuses not only on the pain of the present, but also hope for the future – and documents that process. Within this framework, I seek to record my reflections as an artist who was forced to leave Ukraine, but remains inextricably linked with the ordeal of my country through a shared artery of pain."

* Night City. In the collection of Kuindzhi Center of Contemporary Art, Mariupol, Ukraine, destroyed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The current location and condition of exhibits remains unknown.

Acrylic on canvas.
