Every day I see images of my homeland scarred by war, land that becomes unsuitable for harvest because of destruction. I feel that the earth is a living organism that suffers just as we do.To focus on hope, I paint its dreams - dreams of people, abundant harvests and peaceful work in the fields.With this series, I seek to draw attention to the destruction of the ecosystem in which we all live and which is being damaged by russian aggression.
