Canvas 40*45cm Now the war has moved to the stage of drones, the war of the future. But there are still people who choose the pill of denial of reality. Yes, I understand that it is impossible to convince everyone, but the more people who are switched on, the faster we will win. There is no need to wait for one and only Neo. You should try to become one in your industry. Although Trinity is also acceptable, she was also not bad))) Happy Ukrainian Air Force Day. Thank you to our Armed Forces! Our Neo-warriors! Donate to the drones, donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Because together we are strong!

Lesia is an artist from Odesa, Ukraine. She started drawing 8 years ago after a bad leg injury put her previous career on hold. After leaving Odesa in April 2022, Lesia continues to paint and visualize Ukraine and the invasion. “Drawing for me is a hobby, a job, and a way to reflect. Every time another terrible event happens, I think to myself — again? How can this get any worse? And then I sit down and draw and cry... This is my way of surviving this grief because no one can be aloof. I believe in our Armed Forces, and our victory!”

30*40 cm The first part of the triptych. 3:25 explosions in Odessa continue. I'm in the bath. Full text - So let me tell you about my work. It is autobiographical. 9 years ago (in the summer of 2014), I broke my leg very badly (I had to do an operation and insert pins and a plate). It was a turning point for both me and my country. So you understand my fixation on legs and pain. But I did not want to depict this suffering. And I wanted to present it more optimistically. Maybe even encouraging myself, with some kind of challenge, a little screaming or even a little cheeky))) In this work, I wanted to show part of the cycle of life. As the past, present and future. What happened before, during, and after. In this work, I wanted to show part of the cycle of life. Yes, yes, I know it sounds too pathetic))) but so be it. And finally - about the choice of colors. For some, "red is love, and black is grief." For someone - embroidery colors. Or maybe UPA colors? There will be no conclusions)

On August 19, 2023, Russia again committed a terrorist attack, dropping a bomb on a drama theater in Chernihiv. There are many victims, including children. My condolences to the families of the victims! There are no words, only grief and anger. I saw the video on the Internet, I did not find the owner, I apologize for that

I congratulate everyone on Independence Day!!! Thanks to all defenders! Give us strength and endurance! I decided to draw a periwinkle - as one of the symbols of Ukraine.In Ukrainian language periwinkle-"Barvinok".This plant was named so in honor of the love of the young man Bar and the girl Vinka. The scientific name comes from the Latin word, which means "to win". Did you know such a legend?
