SOFIIA KROKHMAL

My name is Sofia, and I am a native of Kharkiv.

I started my art career in a Ukrainian literature class. It was then that I started to redraw flowers in the classroom in my notebook.

Later I went to study at an art studio. After school, in 2020, entered the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts.

Rays of Freedom Ukrainian Art Rock is about the sound of art. The rhythmic sounds of music turn into impulsive flashes of colors on the canvas, emerging from the bend of a musical instrument. The string elements are a collective image of Ukrainian ethnicity. The central abstract composition, on the other hand, becomes an eclecticism of this movement and avant-garde. The color palette of the painting reflects the main colors of the Ukrainian flag. Yellow in Ukrainian culture symbolizes the energy of the sun, strength, and indestructibility. Blue, on the other hand, is the color of heavenly space, freedom, and selflessness. The bright accent of the compositional center is a yellow flash on a blue background, which emphasizes the combination of freedom and indestructibility in Ukrainian art. From 2018 to 2021, I participated in Kharkiv exhibitions. One of them, “Green Paintbrush” was dedicated to an urban eco project. My works can be found in different cities of Ukraine, as well as in the UAE, Switzerland, and Germany.
