Shattered memories. The longest day.

This painting is my reflection on the first weeks of the Russian invasion. Darkness, sounds of explosions, a cold winter morning filled with chaos and destruction. This work depicts one of the many spectrums of the experience of the Ukrainian people during the war. Numerous debris in gray and cold winter tones, which form the shape of one of the explosions against the background of the city.

The first split plane in the lower part of the picture has a gray-green shade and depicts the mutilated Ukrainian land. Further, the forms of destroyed frozen buildings are formed from the gray-blue debris. Also, in the lower half of the painting, an image of people who are experiencing numerous shellings underground at metro stations is formed. The red circle and stripes are a symbol of the bloody morning sun and the chaotic blows of the invaders, which lead to terrible casualties. The epicenter of the explosion and the smoke from it are formed from the gray triangles. Inside it, Ukrainians are depicted in their homes, sleeping in a corridor on the floor between two walls to reduce the chance of death from Russian attacks. The black triangles in the upper part of the picture are a symbolic representation of enemy aircraft. And also black ravens, which then dispose of what remains of the occupiers.

I will send 50% of the money from the sale of the painting to the Ukrainian fund "Come Back Alive".
