The artist created a unique painting masterpiece literally on the Artifacts of War. But first, a bit of history – it all started when our heroic soldiers collected from the very heat of battle the lids of the transport and launch containers of the Ukrainian S-300 air defense systems, which are knocked out during the launch of a missile, and these lids became an unusual basis for real paintings. By the way, all the artifacts were directly used by our artillery soldiers during combat operations to protect the Ukrainian sky.
All funds raised through the sale of works during the exhibition and auction will go to support the military, who are regularly supported by the Cossack Drive charity foundation.
Natalia Korf-Ivanuk. Natalia creates many of her paintings based on Ukrainian ornaments, embroidery, and carpets. However, all this is reinterpreted by the creative interpretation of a contemporary artist
“…the first memories of childhood, carpets on the wall, grandmother’s towels, cross-stitching, darning with a thimble, the earth that is thirsty and black in spring, autumn apples that smell like a cellar, mother’s hands, a woman’s hopes when she is pregnant, the first lullaby, weekdays, holidays, and weekdays again.” This is the life cycle. And this ancestral love stretches like an invisible thread from the beginning of God’s world. I’m just trying to pull these images out of the darkness of oblivion by translating them into the language of color and form, giving them SIGNIFICANCE, developing the high tradition that our ancestors left us,” Natalia writes. One of her other favorite genres is New Adult. Because the beauty of a woman’s body cannot leave a woman artist indifferent
