"Tree of life" original watercolor painting. Ukrainian art during the war.
Our folk traditions, the will to live and love, I depicted in a symbolic picture from the series "From Ukraine with Love", complemented by the colors of the national flag. This series of paintings, I create during the invasion of Russia and while in the occupation. I express moral support, pain, hope for the victory of our people.
The painting contains elements of folk traditions in ornamentation, embroidery, images of animals. The main symbolism is the tree of life. In this symbol, I see the strength of the people, the desire for development, creation. I used muted shades of yellow to convey the current situation in the country in a way that there is no light and joy for us now.
In a series of my paintings, I depict our traditional values: love, care, freedom, the desire for a better life, which I convey through symbolism.
A series of paintings "From Ukraine with Love" are united by a common theme: will, freedom, struggle, sadness and hope for a new stage in the development of our society. The paintings from this series are made in watercolor with the addition of graphics with a gel pen, in restrained colors, dominated by brown, gray and muted colors of the flag of Ukraine. Also, in each picture, I added elements of folklore, ethnic motifs, stylized ornaments, our national symbols in the form of animals and flowers. With these pictures, I tried to make a cultural contribution to the fight against invaders and support for our glorious warriors, our suffering people.
Symbolism helps through painting to understand the essence, riddle, innuendo of nature, man. This is served by the contrast of color, material, artistic techniques.
Watercolor is unique in that this pattern of color spots will not be repeated. The second such picture will be gone. Each painting is made in watercolor, like a pearl.
Watercolor is delicate material, it can convey a lot of emotions, impressions, moods. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that you can never copy the same work. You never know how the paint will spread on the paper, how the color spots will fall, the mood with which the artist approaches the image will also affect the work.
At any time of the year, in any weather, the joy of life will be transmitted by paintings written with love and inspiration.
This picture will light up with joy and happiness the interior of your house and will be a good gift for your relatives and for your friends. Suitable for any celebration and occasion.
I hope my painting will decorate your home or office, give light, warmth and joy every day.
