Far Painting

Painting series which was created since full-scale war has started in Ukraine. During a bombardment, the safest part of the building is considered to be a space in which there are at least two walls without windows between a person and the street. This called “rule of two walls”. The painting of the project mainly illustrates the image of "home", the linearly depicted buildings on an abstract landscape background, which at the same time resemble the "ghosts" of buildings that no longer exist and a child's drawing. Apparently, everyone in childhood drew a house with straight simple lines, a square or rectangle, a triangular roof, a window, flat, without perspective and artistic tools. The image is familiar and recognizable to everyone. The artist chose exactly this formal method of depicting home in the project. Now this image is being transformed and the perception is horrifying, as for many Ukrainians their homes have turned into death traps or were lost. The image of home is something warm and personal, has the character of appropriation, a place of safety, currently it becomes ephemeral. The artist portrays the silhouettes of houses in the painting, leaving them somewhat naive, since no visual means can convey the true inexorable reality. For the artist, objects (houses) are perceived as living entities, the ochre-flesh gamut of colors is a reference to the human body, although the houses have retained their monolithic form, they are wounded and bleeding. Wounds that will remain after the victory and will not heal. The creation of works appears in the format of a diary, which aims not only to convey the facts of events, but also self-reflection and self-therapy, since it is impossible to remain alone with these experiences and processes.
