Shattered Sky

Artwork from the series “Red-blue”, created during Artists at Risk (AR) art residency. The sky, once embodying tranquility and infinity of thoughts for me, has transformed into a source of threat with the unfolding of russia's full-scale war. The red sky on the canvas serves as a symbol of a dangerous external world, while the clouds simultaneously embody an anxious internal state. The painting not only reproduces internal emotions but also draws the viewer's attention to the ongoing genocide, as the russian army mercilessly attacks and oppresses the Ukrainian people.
