My main medium is watercolor, however, in 2024 I started to create a land art and will continue my practice this way. At the start of my career, I worked with watercolor as a medium to express how fragile the bird and nature are. I depicted the unique personality of each bird in the most delicate fashion.
Then my art vision was changed step by step for many reasons (war in Ukraine, motherhood and psychology work with my mind). Delicate fashion doesn’t suit my world anymore. The way I see my being and the future is dark (so that’s why you see so many dark colors in my watercolor), nowadays situation ruined pillars in my head, and I feel the breath of the future catastrophe for humans.
So how can I deal with it and live my everyday life when everything is going to be worse? The answer is preparing. In my art, I look into how we could be warned and survive. I analyze how people (in Ukraine, my ancestors) survived for many years during starvation, repression, and no civilization in the old villages. I do this research continuously for my next land art projects. And now I’m working with the awareness part of my art - how to be warned. I’m looking for a signal to prepare not humans only, but animals and plants too. I understand it’s nonsense, but I’m looking for a way to show how this situation breaks my heart. We cannot survive without everyone else on this planet.
