I was born and grew up in Kazakhstan. My grandfather had to leave Ukraine in 1941. I visited Ukraine for the first time in 1999 and Lviv – in 2008. I finally felt as if I am home. The feeling that my culture, traditions, relatives were stolen from me - disappeared. From the moment I took the board in my hands, I knew I would paint the Protection of the Mother of God icon. I imagined that the Mother of God will close our sky from Russian bombs. The cross on my icon resembles the cross on armory vehicles of Ukrainian army.
