In Solidarity with The Ukrainian People , 2021
20 x 26 in (h x w)
Oil Painting on Canvas

Artist Statement: The world of music taught me form, composition, color, and space. My ideal painting would be an equivalent to a Mozart Symphony; seemingly crystal clear, optimistic and uplifting. Without showing any trace of the invested effort, struggle, and agony, the accomplished opus lives on its own, independently.
Choices of my subjects are decided by circumstances very often beyond my planning. I am an instrument and try to be open to receiving information of events around the globe. I try to search out positive elements that “are not decadent”. I choose building blocks for future enlightenment. This is why I paint.

Artist description: In Solidarity With Ukrainian People expresses my horror as I witness the anachronistic deterioration of morals and values manifest in this inexcusable transgression on Ukraine.
