The Ukraine Paintings

The war in Ukraine affects all humanity; but what can an artist do?

It’s not an easy question, I am not there on the front line risking my life. However, I began to try to make sense of my thoughts and feelings. My work has always concentrated on the plight of victims, the truth, the reconciliation so I began to experiment. The combination of my abstract methods and the Ukrainian flag created a dimension in the work that’s both intriguing and unpredictable, especially the impasto where the blue and yellow of the hand-painted flag merge to create a landscape in stark contrast to the dynamics surrounding it.

Possibly there is an exhibition here to raise awareness or an auction to raise funds? We will see as the work begins to evolve.
