"I painted the artwork “My Ukraine” in April 2022. It was the first painting I was able to paint after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. At the start of the war there was shock and fear, then the understanding that behind the scenes inof the country everyone must help in whatever way they can.

Therefore, for the first 2 months of the war, I volunteered in the largest medical hub in the city of Lviv in Ukraine, I assembled medical first-aid kits for the frontline. In April 2022, I was able to take brushes and colours in my hands for the first time. In this way, the painting “My Ukraine” was born."
