On February 24, 2022, Putin invaded Ukraine, igniting the largest conflict in Europe since World War 2. Through technology and social media, the world witnessed the devastating consequences of Russia's aggression. I turned my grief into art, painting daily and sharing on Instagram. Over 130 watercolor paintings now tell the story of this war. My goal is to create a book to raise funds for Ukraine. My work has been featured in Vogue UA, Elle UA, and Ukraine Artists on Instagram. I aim to raise awareness and honour the brave Ukrainians affected by this unnecessary war.
