This piece is deeply military inspired, not by weapons or soldiers, but by lived experience. I am from Ukraine, and I have seen war with my own eyes. I have felt the fear, the uncertainty, and the destruction — and yet I still believe that victory will bring not just survival, but rebirth and peace. The painting, titled “After War, There Is Always Peace,” shows a lone house surrounded by fire, with ghost-like flower forms rising into the dark sky. These forms symbolize memory, grief, and the souls of those lost — but also resilience, beauty, and the quiet hope that always follows devastation. It is a reflection on war from someone who lived through it — and still dares to believe in light after darkness.
