“Hope in the Wrong” is a series painted 2022 after Putin invaded the Ukraine. I painted the hope in this inhuman war with by now more than a half million dead people.
I am not glorifying Selenskyi, his portrait is painted after a photo visiting Bucha seeing the civilians lying dead on the streets.
For this series I used journalistic photos, one of them I painted before it was selected for the World Press Photo 2022.
