What Is Ukraine?

DESCRIPTION The goal here is to show the audience the importance of a Ukrainian family and its values, namely comfort, protection, and grace. The hands that hold and protect the family depict the hope for its future. The main focus of the composition is the frame, which shows the window of the house. Within it the story of the composition is built. The female image is a symbol of comfort, well-being, wisdom, peace, and balance; but at the same time, it shows anxiety and concern for her family. The male image is a symbol of strength, protection, stability, and reliability. The image of the man is made in such a way to show who is in charge of the family. The storks represent the future generation and symbolize goodness and joy, purity, freedom, and strength. There are three storks in the nest - they are the embodiment of the past, present, and future and a sign of trinity. BIO My name is Anastasiia Pavlovska. I was born in 1997 in Sumy. I continue my mother’s work as an artist as she didn’t get enough time to become famous. In my work, I use different techniques and experiment with various materials. It helps me convey the mood when I paint still life, landscapes, abstracts, sketches, and portraits. I like people. Ever since I was little, I was surrounded by different personalities. I got my passion for painting people from my mother. In 2013, to find my own style, I commenced my studies at the Sumy Art School, where I was able to master modeling, drawing, and painting techniques. They made a great impression on me and influenced my work. In 2022, I continued my studies at the Kharkiv Academy of Design and Arts, where I am currently studying.
